11-letter words that end in law
- amperes-law — the law that a magnetic field induced by an electric current is, at any point, directly proportional to the product of the current intensity and the length of the current conductor, inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point and the conductor, and perpendicular to the plane joining the point and the conductor.
- boyle's law — the principle that the pressure of a gas varies inversely with its volume at constant temperature
- bragg's law — the principle that when a beam of X-rays of wavelength λ enters a crystal, the maximum intensity of the reflected ray occurs when sin θ = nλ/2d, where θ is the complement of the angle of incidence, n is a whole number, and d is the distance between layers of atoms
- clapperclaw — to claw or scratch with the hands and nails
- company law — the area of law that deals with business enterprises
- curie's law — the principle that the magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is inversely proportional to its thermodynamic temperature
- dietary law — law dealing with foods permitted to be eaten, food preparation and combinations, and the utensils and dishes coming into contact with food.
- grimm's law — the statement of the regular pattern of consonant correspondences presumed to represent changes from Proto-Indo-European to Germanic, according to which voiced aspirated stops became voiced obstruents, voiced unaspirated stops became unvoiced stops, and unvoiced stops became unvoiced fricatives: first formulated in 1820–22 by Jakob Grimm, though the facts had been noted earlier by Rasmus Rask.
- heir at law — a person who inherits, or has a right of inheritance in, the real property of one who has died without leaving a valid will.
- heir-at-law — a person who inherits, or has a right of inheritance in, the real property of one who has died without leaving a valid will.
- henry's law — the principle that at a constant temperature the concentration of a gas dissolved in a fluid with which it does not combine chemically is almost directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas at the surface of the fluid.
- hooke's law — the law stating that the stress on a solid substance is directly proportional to the strain produced, provided the stress is less than the elastic limit of the substance.
- joule's law — the principle that the rate of production of heat by a constant direct current is directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit and to the square of the current.
- martial law — the law temporarily imposed upon an area by state or national military forces when civil authority has broken down or during wartime military operations.
- megan’s law — any of various statutes requiring that public notification be given of the whereabouts of persons who have been convicted of certain sexual crimes
- moore's law — (architecture) /morz law/ The observation, made in 1965 by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore while preparing a speech, that each new memory integrated circuit contained roughly twice as much capacity as its predecessor, and each chip was released within 18-24 months of the previous chip. If this trend continued, he reasoned, computing power would rise exponentially with time. Moore's observation still holds in 1997 and is the basis for many performance forecasts. In 24 years the number of transistors on processor chips has increased by a factor of almost 2400, from 2300 on the Intel 4004 in 1971 to 5.5 million on the Pentium Pro in 1995 (doubling roughly every two years). Date Chip Transistors MIPS clock/MHz ----------------------------------------------- Nov 1971 4004 2300 0.06 0.108 Apr 1974 8080 6000 0.64 2 Jun 1978 8086 29000 0.75 10 Feb 1982 80286 134000 2.66 12 Oct 1985 386DX 275000 5 16 Apr 1989 80486 1200000 20 25 Mar 1993 Pentium 3100000 112 66 Nov 1995 Pentium Pro 5500000 428 200 ----------------------------------------------- Moore's Law has been (mis)interpreted to mean many things over the years. In particular, microprocessor performance has increased faster than the number of transistors per chip. The number of MIPS has, on average, doubled every 1.8 years for the past 25 years, or every 1.6 years for the last 10 years. While more recent processors have had wider data paths, which would correspond to an increase in transistor count, their performance has also increased due to increased clock rates. Chip density in transistors per unit area has increased less quickly - a factor of only 146 between the 4004 (12 mm^2) and the Pentium Pro (196 mm^2) (doubling every 3.3 years). Feature size has decreased from 10 to 0.35 microns which would give over 800 times as many transistors per unit. However, the automatic layout required to cope with the increased complexity is less efficient than the hand layout used for early processors. See also Parkinson's Law of Data.
- natural law — a principle or body of laws considered as derived from nature, right reason, or religion and as ethically binding in human society.
- private law — a branch of law dealing with the legal relationships of private individuals. Compare public law (def 2).
- rule of law — the principle that all people and institutions are subject to and accountable to law that is fairly applied and enforced; the principle of government by law.
- snell's law — the law that, for a ray incident on the interface of two media, the sine of the angle of incidence times the index of refraction of the first medium is equal to the sine of the angle of refraction times the index of refraction of the second medium.
- statute law — statutory law.
- stokes' law — the law that the force that retards a sphere moving through a viscous fluid is directly proportional to the velocity of the sphere, the radius of the sphere, and the viscosity of the fluid.
- torrens law — any of various statutes that provide for the registration of the title to land with the government, which issues a warranted title deed (Torrens certificate) to said land
- tragic flaw — the character defect that causes the downfall of the protagonist of a tragedy; hamartia.
