    One of the most important things about gases is that, despite wide differences in chemical properties, all the gases more or less obey the gas laws. The gas laws deal with how gases behave with respect to pressure, temperature, volume and amount. This uniformity of physical behavior was of great interest with early scientists. It is one of the dogmas of scientists that the behavior of a material is a reflection of the particles that make up the substance.

    diving. The pressure on a submerged diver: Hydrostatic and Atmospheric pressure are the two major components which act upon a diver at depth. Hydrostatic pressure refers to the weight of the water above the diver, whereas Atmospheric Pressure is equal to the total weight of the atmosphere above the water. Atmospheric Pressure: Although air is very light, the atmosphere above the earth is approximately 150km high. This amount of air has extensive weight and exerts significant pressure on the earth

    250-2000 V and sputtering gas pressures of (3.5×10-2 – 1.5) mbar. This paper studies in experiment the breakdown of argon, a uniform dc electric field at different discharge gaps and cathode potentials. Paschen curves for Argon are obtained by measuring the breakdown voltage of gas within at different target cu,Au,Ag, vacuum chamber . The Paschen curves in Ar gases show that the breakdown voltage between two electrodes is a function of pd (The product of the pressure inside the chamber and distance
