What does 14 MB of memory mean?
The capacity of memory in megabytes (MB) indicates the maximum amount of data that can be stored (less some space for the card's own use).
Megapixel (MP) count refers to the maximum resolution of the camera's sensor -- its ability to record detail. The number of images that can be recorded on a card of a given size is only indirectly related to the capacity of the card, which is measured in Kilobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB), not MP. That will vary according to the image itself, and to the camera's settings.
For example: My Pentax K10D, with a 10.1 MP sensor and using a 4 GB card, will record approximately 821 images at the highest resolution (10 MP) and a "Fine" resolution setting. The same camera, with the same sensor and same card, will record 10,000-plus images at the lowest resolution (2 MP) and the "Low" resolution setting. Practically all cameras have this ability to change the resolution settings, and thus the sizes of the image files that are stored on the card.
So, you can see that it is only possible to answer your question in very general terms: The higher the capacity of the card, the more images you can store at whatever camera settings. And, as you can see above, even at the highest settings with a high MP count, you can take a lot of pictures!
One thing to think about: storage cards can and do fail. It is better to have two 1 GB cards than one 2 GB card, unless you plan to shoot a whole lot of video. That way if one fails, you can keep shooting and worry about retrieving the images off the other card later.

In photography what is used as fixing agent?
The agent is a "thiosulfate." There are two in use.
The one we all started out on, because the other is more expensive, is sodium thiosulfate. It comes as a powder you add to water, stir until it dissolves then add more water to make the recommended amount. There's normally some potassium alum in it to harden the gelatin (fixers for color work don't need this as the emulsion is prehardened in manufacture) and some acetic acid to act as a stop bath.
The one we all should be using is ammonium thiosulfate. It's a liquid so it's easier to mix, it works faster and it's easier to wash out of the emulsion. It also contains hardeners and acids.
How long should you charge a 1.2V NiMH rechargeable battery?
That really depends on what charger you are using. Some chargers fill up your batteries in just a couple of hours or less, but others (mostly older chargers) can also take 10 hours to do it! Maybe the manual of your chargers says something about the charging time of your batteries.

What is the value of a Polaroid 103 Land camera with Electric Eye?
This model typically sells at auction for $5-25, although a complete kit with accessories may fetch $50-60, depending on condition.
More Information
The Polaroid 103 Land camera was a lower-priced model manufactured in 1965-1967. The camera had a plastic shell with a triple-element glass lens and electronic shutter that could be set from 10 seconds to 1/1200 of a second, had auto-exposure, and featured the "electric eye" light meter. These were sophisticated elements for a consumer camera during that era.
Some of the drawbacks are that, unlike more expensive SLR film cameras and today's digital varieties, the 103 only has two ASA settings: 75 and 3000. This limits its adaptability. Further, the electric eye was powered by a mercury battery, which are no longer sold. The camera can be adapted to accept an alkaline battery, but the lack of voltage regulator gives unpredictable results.
The 103 uses 3 x 4 pack film, available as Polaroid 100/660 series film or Fuji FP-100C, FP-100, FP-100B, FP-3000B. These are still manufactured.
