Ubay Orifov

Ubay Orifov is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Ubay Orifov rather than just read about it. In short: Ubay Orifovich Orifov (Russian: Убай Арифович Арифов; 15 June [O.S. 2 June] 1909 – 24 December 1976) was a Soviet Uzbek physicist and academician who served as the President of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR from 1962 to 1966. He was also a participant in the Great Patriotic War.

Key takeaways

Ubay Orifov belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Ubay Orifov to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Ubay Orifov from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Ubay Orifovich Orifov (Russian: Убай Арифович Арифов; 15 June [O.S. 2 June] 1909 – 24 December 1976) was a Soviet Uzbek physicist and academician who served as the President of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR from 1962 to 1966. He was also a participant in the Great Patriotic War.

Early life and education Ubay Orifov was born in the city of Kokand in the Ferghana Oblast of Russian Turkestan. He graduated from the Uzbek State Pedagogical Academy in 1931.

Career He worked at the Central Asian University as an assistant from 1935 to 1941. He join the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1944. From 1945 to 1956, Orifov was the Director of the Physicotechnical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, a position he would serve in again from 1963 to 1967. He was then the Director of the Institute of Nuclear Sciences of the Uzbek SSR from 1956 to 1962. He assumed the position of President of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR on January 23, 1962 and served until February 26, 1966. He was then the Director of the Institute of Electronics of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR. He was also the editor-in-chief of the Reports of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR (1962-1966) and Heliotekhnika (1965-1976) magazines. Orifov's scientific works mainly focused on physical electronics, solid-state surface physics, nuclear and radiation physics, mass spectrometry, and solar technology. He explored the non-stationary processes on the surface of metals and developed methods for determining coefficients of ionization surfaces and the heats of adsorption and desorption. He also explored the patterns of electron emission during the bombardment of metal crystals and film systems by atomic particles. In addition, he developed the mechanisms of potential and kinetic electron emission of various classes of the surface of a solid body; established the possibility of a strong increase in the yield of negative ions from the sprayed surface and laid the foundation for the development of spray sources of negative ions; proved the possibility of directional changes in surface properties using beams of charged particles and developed methods of ion nitriding, passivation, ion-beam treatment, etc.; and designed solar furnaces with a diameter of up to 3 meters, solar photo converters, solar concentrators, etc.

Death Ubay Orifov died at the age of 67 in Tashkent.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ubay Orifov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ubay Orifov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ubay Orifov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ubay Orifov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ubay Orifov

In research: Ubay Orifov appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ubay Orifov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ubay Orifov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1909 births, 1976 deaths, 20th-century Uzbekistani people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ubay Orifov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
