Verified by Experts

In malignant tumors, the cells proliferate, grow rapidly and move to other parts of the body to form new tumors.
This stage of disease is called metastasis.
Metagenesis is alternation of generation between sexual and asexual reproduction.
Teratogenesis is the process by which congenital malformations are produced in the embryo or foetus.
Mitosis is a somatic cell division.

Einstein in 1905 proppunded the special theory of relativity and in 1915 proposed the general theory of relativity. The special theory deals with inertial frames of reference. The general theory of relativity deals with problems in which one frame of reference. He assumed that fixed frame is accelerated w.r.t. another frame of reference of reference cannot be located. Postulated of special theory of realtivity ● The laws of physics have the same form in all inertial systems. ● The velocity light in empty space is a unicersal constant the same for all observers. ● Einstein proved the following facts based on his theory of special relativity. Let v be the velocity of the speceship w.r.t a given frame of reference. The obserations are made by an observer in that reference frame. ● All clocks on the spaceship wil go slow by a factor sqrt(1-v^(2)//c^(2)) ● All objects on the spaceship will have contracted in length by a factor sqrt(1-v^(2)//c^(2)) ● The mass of the spaceship increases by a factor sqrt(1-v^(2)//c^(2)) ● Mass and energy are interconvertable E = mc^(2) The speed of a meterial object can never exceed the velocity of light. ● If two objects A and B are moving with velocity u and v w.r.t each other along the x -axis, the relative velocity of A w.r.t. B = (u-v)/(1-uv//v^(2)) A stationary body explodes into two fragments each of rest mass 1 kg that move apart at speed of 0.6c relative to the original body. The rest mass of the original body is -

The method of electrical images is used to solve the electrostatic problems, where charge distribution is not specified completely. The method consists of replacement of given charge distribution by a simplified charge distribution or a signal point charge or a number of point charges [rovided the original boundary conditions are still satisfied. For example consider a system consider a system containing a point charge q placed at a distance d of form an infinite conducting plane. The boundary conditions are : (i) Potential is zero at infinity (ii) Potential is zero at each point on the conducting plane If we replaced the conducting plane by a point charge (-q) placed at a distance 'd' opposite to conducting plane. The charge (-q) is called the electrical image. Now system consists of two charge +q an -q at seperation 2d . If charge +q moves to a distance 'y' from the boundary of conducting plane (now absent), the electrical image -q also moves to the same 'y' from the boundary of conducting plane, so that the new distance between +q and -q is 2y The force between point charge +q and earthed conducting plane is
