Constants in Physics
What are Constants in Physics?
The significance of constants in Physics is that throughout all of the formulations of the basic
theories of Physics and the application to the real world, physical constants appear as
fundamental invariant quantities, and they have specific and universally used symbols, that are
of such importance that they must be known to as high an accuracy as is possible
The physical constant also called the fundamental constant or the universal constant is a
physical quantity that is believed to be universal in nature and has a constant value at all times

Constant Value in Physics
In physics, we deal with various dimensions, and to set the dimensions of an entity, the time
length of an event, or the density of the fluid we need to compare them with other entities, we
use as @ reference. These entities are the constants of physics, such as the speed of light (c),
the charge of the electron(e) or mass (mp) of a proton, Rydberg constant, and so on
For example, the value of Avogadro's number is 6.02214 x 10% mol" remains the same
everywhere.

The physical constant is a complex concept that is taught in class 11 physics. This is based on
the curriculum set by the Central Board of secondary education and physical constants or
Constance of Physics holds a significant weightage in the examination and therefore are
extremely important to understand. The concept of physical constants can be studied in depth
in the study notes that I provided by Vedanta, these notes are repaired by Vedanta’s export
research team who are well-versed in research and curating study notes for students,
Vedantu's exports have extensive experience and have done thorough research in the duration
of these study notes. The notes provided by Vedanta are based on the latest CBSE curriculum
and are therefore up to date
Physical constants are known by different titles such as fundamental constant, universal
constant, Constance of physics. It is extremely important to have an accurate evaluation of the
physical constants as their accuracy will help to check how up to the mark the theories are, as
they form the basis of Physics their accuracy allows useful applications that can be made
based on certain theories.
Physical constants are a set of fundamental quantities that appear in the basic theoretical
equations of physicsVedaniti,

For example, a universal constant of nature is the speed of light in a vacuum (c). The speed of
light can be studied in both electromagnetic theory and in relativity theory; in relativity theory, it
relies on energy to Mass whose equation can be written as E =me?. The value of the speed of
light never changes and it does not depend on any experimental conditions like the speed of a
sound wave changes in some cases therefore, the speed of light is a universal constant
