Everybody has seen a vibrating tuning fork or a swinging pendulum. Their motion eventually slows down and ceases if they are left alone. However, why does this occur? This is where damping enters the picture. Swinging pendulum The oscillations in presence of dissipative force where amplitude decrease gradually with the passage of time are called … Read more
A body moving to and fro around a mean position in which its acceleration is directly proportional to its displacement and directed towards the mean position is said to be in simple harmonic motion (SHM), a type of periodic motion. The behaviour of energy during motion is one of the most interesting parts of SHM. … Read more
Many natural systems, such as a swinging pendulum or the vibrating strings of a guitar, show simple harmonic motion (SHM), a form of repeating or oscillatory motion. We may better understand how and why things move back and forth in such a regular manner when we understand the force law original SHM. Guitar What is … Read more
A form of periodic motion known as simple harmonic motion (SHM) occurs when an item oscillates around a mean position in such a way that the restoring force works in the opposite direction of the displacement and is exactly proportionate to the displacement. A mass-spring system, vibrating strings, and a pendulum’s motion are a few … Read more
Physics can seem like a difficult subject, but actually becomes quite exciting when we break it down and understand the concepts using analogies from everyday life. Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) and Uniform Circular Motion (UCM) are two key ideas in physics. Once we understand how these two are related, the entire chapter becomes lot simpler … Read more
Organic compounds with one or more halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) joined to a hydrocarbon chain or ring are known as haloalkanes or haloarenes. These substances are also called as aryl and alkyl halides, respectively. They are utilised in solvents, refrigerants, insecticides, and medications, among other industrial and daily applications. Atoms Classification of … Read more
One of the most significant and basic forms of periodic motion that is studied in physics is simple harmonic motion (SHM). It serves as the foundation for understanding a variety of wave and oscillatory phenomena in both classical and contemporary physics. When an item oscillates back and forth around a fixed position while being influenced … Read more
Particularly in the area of inorganic chemistry, coordination molecules are an interesting and vital component of chemistry. These are substances where a core metal atom or ion is joined to a collection of ligands, which are nearby molecules or ions. In order to create a coordination complex, these ligands give the metal electron pairs. Despite … Read more
We are surrounded by motion, whether it will be the swing on a playground or the ticking of a clock. Two types of motions that are particularly essential in physics are periodic motion and oscillatory motion. They are not exactly the same, despite their apparent similarity. Ticking of a clock Periodic and Oscillatory Motions Periodic … Read more
A transition metal and carbon monoxide (CO) ligands combine to form coordination compounds known as metal carbonyls. Because of their special bonding properties, these complexes are important in organometallic chemistry and industrial catalysis. The bonding in metal carbonyls can be explained using molecular orbital theory and are both sigma (σ) and pi (π) interactions. Metal … Read more
