Refraction of Light The refraction of light is the bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another. It signifies a change in the velocity (speed) of the wave. It is also the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another. Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but other […]
Isaac Newton introduced the three basic laws of classical mechanics which describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. It was in 1687 that he introduced the three laws in his book “Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis”(Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which is generally referred to as the “Principia”. By developing his […]
In mathematics, pi is the ratio of circumference to the diameter of a circle. symbol π was devised by British mathematician William Jones in 1706 to represent the ratio and was later popularized by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. A pi is an irrational number and it is non-repeating. The pi value up to the first 100 […]
States of matter are one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Many intermediate states are known to exist, such as liquid crystal, and some states only exist under extreme conditions, such as Bose-Einstein condensates, neutron-degenerate matter, and quark-gluon […]
The Voyager mission consist of two spacecrafts: Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 2 was launched before voyager 1 on August 20 1977 from Florida abroad a Titan-centaur rocket. Voyager 1 was launched on September 5 1977 from Florida abroad a Titan-centaur rocket but it was send on a faster trajectory. Because of its high […]
The Fibonacci series is a series formed by the Fibonacci numbers.The numbers in this series are given as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 38, . . . This series is named after a renowned mathematician Leonardo Pisano Bogollo, later known as Fibonacci. In a Fibonacci series, every term is the sum […]
Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter which is typically formed when a gas of bosons at low densities is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero. In a gas, each atom has its own energy and can move freely. When these atoms are bosons, they are allowed to have the same energy at […]
