Steady flow behavior can manifest in dramatically different ways, most notably through the distinction between laminar and turbulent patterns. Laminar stream is characterized by smooth, parallel layers of fluid – imagine honey dripping slowly and consistently. These layers maintain their order, with each layer sliding gracefully over the adjacent
Limitations of Thomson's Plum Pudding Model
Thomson's Plum Pudding model, while groundbreaking for its time, faced several shortcomings as scientists developed a deeper understanding of atomic structure. One major restriction was its inability to explain the results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment. The model suggested that alpha particles would travel through the plum pudding with minim
