Structure of an atom includes electrons, protons, and neutrons. In history, several scientists had come up with different models of an atom. The classic model presented by Ernest Rutherford came to be known as the Rutherford atomic model. It should be noted that it is no longer considered the accurate representation of an atom. Rutherford […]
While swimming, we tend to feel lighter at some point of time. In the same manner, as one draws water from the well, the bucket feels lighter, when it is partially or fully immersed in water. Why do we feel this change in weight? When we immerse a body in water, or for that matter […]
Introduction Light/visible light is defined as the electromagnetic radiation which can be detected by the human eye. There are several features of light including reflection and refraction. Let’s study the features of concave and convex lenses in detail. Lens is defined as a transparent medium which is made of glass, having either one or two […]
Pluto was considered to be the ninth planet in our solar system. But in 2006, it was demoted, and reclassified as a dwarf planet. NASA recently shared an outstanding image on its instagram handle. The picture was taken by its New Horizons spacecraft. The photograph shows Pluto’s true colors. It was taken at a distance […]
What is Biot Savart Law? Biot-Savart law is a law that relates magnetic fields to the electric current. This law was discovered by French physicists Jean-Baptiste Biot and Felix Savart in 1820. The two scientists noticed the deflection of a magnetic compass needle and concluded that any current element projects a magnetic field into the […]
Introduction: In holography, the light scattered from an object is recorded and presented in a way that appears to be three-dimensional. This is a photographic method that enables a wavefront to be recorded and later reconstructed. A hologram is a three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or other coherent […]
There are two types of stable particles present in an atom’s nucleus. They are called protons and neutrons. The fundamental and elementary particles which constitute protons are known as quarks. They are never found in isolation. Quarks are unstable in their elementary form. They combine to form hadrons. The hadrons are stable. The other elementary […]
There are different types of computers. This includes mini-computers, supercomputers, microcomputers, and mainframe computers. Computers with superpowers are called supercomputers. Countries like China and the United States worked hard to develop the first supercomputer with speed in exaFLOP. India has also designed its supercomputer. Most Powerful Computers Supercomputers have super/high performance. They are mostly used […]
From classical computers to smartphones, it has been a long journey. Now we are exploring the possibilities of quantum computing. Several countries are in the race to develop quantum technologies. The country that will control the future of quantum technology will emerge as an ‘Information Superpower’. Countries like the USA, China, Russia and Australia have […]
