Science Flashcards
The study of these features is called hydrogeology
Aquifers
Groundwater can be sustainably harvested from aquifers using this technology from Ancient Iran
Qanats
These devices are used to measure aquifer hydraulic properties
Slugs
This equation says the downdraw rate of aquifers is equal to Q/4piT
Theis solution
Extracting beyond the equilibrium points of aquifers is known by this term
Overdrafting
This assumption holds that aquifer thickness is proportional to groundwater discharge and that groundwater flows horizontally in an unconfined aquifer
Dupuit - Forchheimer assumption
Potentiometric surfaces describe how these bodies would transform without the presence of confining beds
Aquifers
Aquifers located above others in the vadose region are known by this adjective
“Perched”
This law describes overdrafting and flow towards the decreasing head of aquifers
Darcy’s Law
This law calculates aquifer contamination
Ghyben-Herzberg relation
Transportation within these structures is modeled by the Richards equations
Aquifers
Max Planck solved this problem sometimes called the Rayleigh-Jeans catastrophe related to an erroneous prediction of blackbody radiation
Ultraviolet Catastrophe
A photon must have more energy than a minimum threshold called the work function for this effect to take place
Photoelectric effect
Electrons diffracted off of a nickel crystal in a pattern similar to that predicted by Bragg’s law, proving that particles could act like waves in this experiment
Davisson-Germer Experiment
This idea, which defines a minimum value for the product of the standard deviations of position and momentum, can be rigorously proved using the Fourier transformation
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
