The property of the material that relates to its ability to conduct heat is referred as Thermal Conductivity.

When matter and light exhibits properties of both waves and particles, it is referred as Wave-Particle duality. For instance, Light can behave like wave when it shines through narrow slits while, when exposed to some metal surface it will spray electrons acting as a particle. So under different conditions it will act.

Velocity of sound depends on velocity and density of the medium on which it travels. It varies directly as the square root of elasticity and inversely as the square root of the density.

Dyne is a unit of force or also referred as C-G-S (centimetre – gram –-second). It means that when a force is applied to mass of 1 gram, it gives acceleration of 1 centimetre per second.

Convection is the process of transferring heat by movement of heated fluid such as water or air. In this process, the heated fluid expands, and gravity pulls the denser masses under them thus forcing them into motion. One good example is a draft of lamps and stoves.

Dark matter is an invisible matter in the space that can hold the stars into the galaxy. They have no effect of electromagnetic force on it, which means it does absorb, reflect or emit light that makes them practically invisible.

When you are being interviewed by a panel or a committee, it is vital to look at everyone as you answer each question. If Dr. X asks you something, state Dr. X's name in your reply but address it to all the people in front of you, not just Dr. X. Everyone on the panel is evaluating you and they each need to know that you recognize their presence and authority even if they don't ask you a question. You should also offer extra copies of your résumé/CV and publications list as you begin the interview. Smile and maintain eye contact. Finally, request contact information for everyone on the panel so you can write each of them an individualized thank-you note.

For international students looking for a job in a country where they don't have the correct work visa yet, it is important to clearly demonstrate that you and your set of experiences, expertise, skills, networks of contacts, pedigree, and credentials will provide the company a competitive advantage. Give them examples of what you have achieved that is unique to you and connect the dots for them by then explaining how this experience will benefit them—that you'll be able to solve problems more efficiently, more quickly, in novel directions, and so on. Why? If the company wants you—which they will determine and finalize in the actual interview—they will do what they need to do to get you, before the competition gets you. So look for opportunities in the interview to share exactly what achievements you have had that demonstrate your unique skill set. And remember: A company might have to go to the trouble of obtaining a work visa for you, but if they like you and see your value, they will do what is necessary to get you the job.

Quantum tunnelling is the process where the particle passes through an obstruction or barrier to reach at another end. It is referred as tunnelling as the particle as “dug” out the way through the potential barrier.
