  • Light fog

    The presence of fog density on a completed radiograph can arise from various factors. It may occur when the darkroom lacks lightproof conditions, when film holders exhibit cracks, when the power of the light bulb is excessively high, when the safelight filter is cracked, when an incorrect safelight series is employed, when the film is…

  • L electron

    Consider an electron occupying an orbit within the L shell, which corresponds to the second electron shell encircling the nucleus of an atom.  

  • Left-hand thumb rule

    By gripping the wire in the left hand and aligning the thumb in the direction of electron flow (from negative to positive), the encircling fingers will indicate the orientation of the magnetic lines of force around the wire.  

  • Left-hand rule

    When considering a movable wire carrying an electric current or an electron beam within a magnetic field, a handy rule known as the left-hand rule, dynamo rule, or Fleming’s left-hand rule can be employed. By extending the thumb, first finger, and second finger of the left hand at right angles to each other, with the…

  • Lead rubber

    Lead-impregnated rubber, renowned for its malleability, finds application in protective aprons and gloves due to its exceptional flexibility.  

  • Lead equivalent

    The quantity of lead necessary to diminish radiation when considering the particular substance involved.  

  • Law of Conservation of Energy

    The principle that states energy cannot be created nor annihilated, but can be transformed from one form to another.  

  • Laminated silicon steel plates

    The iron core of a transformer is constructed by using silicon steel plates that are insulated from each other with a layer of varnish. This lamination process is implemented to minimize the occurrence of eddy currents. The core is made up of multiple thin plates of silicon steel that are stacked together, with each plate…

  • Laminated core

    The core material of transformers is constructed using laminated layers to reduce the effects of eddy currents. By utilizing this layered design, the transformer’s core is made up of thin, insulated sheets that are stacked together. This laminated structure helps to minimize the circulation of eddy currents within the core material. Eddy currents are induced…

  • Latticed tart

    Here we have an aesthetically pleasing technique for adorning tarts. To embark on this journey, prepare approximately 5 to 6 ounces of pastry for an 8-inch pie pan. Proceed to line the pan with the pastry, ensuring to set aside about one-third of it for the decorative finishing touches. Next, generously spread the desired jam…
