From powering large machinery to lighting our houses, electricity is essential for our daily life. However, have we ever thought over why certain materials give the passage to electricity while others entirely obstruct it? Conductors and insulators are useful in this situation. Large machinery What are Conductors? Materials that readily permit electric current to flow … Read more
One of the most basic ideas in physics is electric charge. It is essential to our understanding of the interactions between matter and the operation of electric and magnetic fields. From the electricity that runs your phone to the static jerk you get when you touch a doorknob, you come into contact with electric charge … Read more
Have you ever observed how a train or ambulance’s sound alters as it goes by? The sound gets louder and higher-pitched as it gets closer, and then it seems softer as it passes you. The Doppler Effect is a scientific phenomena; it’s not just your ears playing games. Train The Basic Idea The shift in … Read more
Have the “wah-wah” sound produced by two musical instruments that are slightly out of tune ever occurred to we? Beats are the term for the fading effect. The meeting of two sounds with slightly differing frequencies is a cool phenomena. Musical instruments What Are Beats? Interference occurs when two sound waves with almost identical frequencies … Read more
Water, music, light, and even the vibrations we experience when we touch a surface are all made of waves. Reflection is one of waves’ primary characteristics. In a nutshell, reflection occurs when a wave strikes a boundary or surface and returns to the original medium rather from being absorbed or passed through. Music What is … Read more
Water, sound, light, and even invisible fields like radio waves are all examples of waves. In actual life, multiple waves frequently pass through the same area simultaneously. Thus, the question that naturally arises is: Light When two or more waves traverse in the same medium, the displacement of any element of the medium is the … Read more
From the sound of music reaching our ears to the ripples in a pond, waves are present everywhere. Have you ever pondered, though, how quickly these waves travel? Waves What is a Travelling Wave? An energy-transferring disturbance that travels through a medium without moving matter is called a traveling wave. We think tossing a stone … Read more
Waves are a vital component of physics because they enable us to understand how energy travels across great distances without the actual movement of matter. How particles in the medium move as a progressive wave come through is one of the first things. Particles Displacement Relation in a Progressive Wave A progressive wave is one … Read more
We are surrounded by waves. Waves are what allow us to see light, hear sound, and even feel the tides in the ocean or the vibrations in strings. Waves are vital to physics, particularly the two fundamental kind longitudinal and transverse waves. Tides Transverse and Longitudinal Waves What is a Wave? A wave is a … Read more
We see several instances of vibrating or oscillating objects in our lives. For example, a guitar string, a swing, or even a car passing over a rough patch of road. All of these oscillations fall within this category. Guitar string Forced Oscillations and Resonance A system is said to be executing free oscillations if it … Read more
