Hi,
#7729. Name the term in physics : A process which occurs without transfer of heat or mass of substances between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. In this process, energy is transferred to the surroundings only as work. The process provides a rigorous conceptual basis for the theory used to expound the first law of thermodynamics, and as such it is a key concept in thermodynamics.
#7730. Name the term in physics : The fraction of the total light incident on a reflecting surface, especially a celestial body, which is reflected back in all directions.
