Explanation

• Noise intensity is measured in decibels (dB).
• It indicates the loudness of sound.
• It helps assess noise pollution in cities, industries, and traffic areas.
• Noise pollution affects hearing, stress levels, and sleep.
• Reducing exposure above 85 dB is important for health protection.

Explanation

• The unit of pressure equal to 1 newton per square meter (N/m2) is called a Pascal (Pa).
• It is named after French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal.

Explanation

• Pressure can be defined as the force acting per unit area.
•  Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure.
• In SI base units kg⋅m−1⋅s−2
• Derivations from other quantities: p = F / A
• Dimension unit: M L^−1 T^-2

Additional information 

The SI unit of energy/work is the joule (J)

Last updated on 09-03-2026

Explanation

Electric power: Rate of energy transfer.

It is measured in watts (W), or one joule per second.

Energy/Work: Measured in joules (J).

Charge: Measured in coulombs (C).

Pressure: Measured in pascals (Pa).

Electric current: Measured in amperes (A).

Electric resistance: Measured in ohms (Ω).

Temperature: Measured in kelvin (K).

Torque: Measured in newton metres (N m).

Velocity: Measured in meters per second (m/s).

Acceleration: Measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Explanation

SI (International System of Units) fundamental units include meter (length), kilogram (mass), and second (time).

All other units like Newton, Joule, etc., are derived from these base units.

Explanation

Antoine Henri Becquerel was an engineer, physicist, Nobel laureate,

First person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

 He belonged to France.

Explanation

The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb, represented by the symbol C.

One coulomb is the amount of charge that passes through a conductor carrying one ampere of current for one second.

It's also equal to the charge of about 6.24 quintillion electrons or protons.
