Constellations and distance to stars If you look at the sky where there is no light on a clear night, there are so many stars that can not count. Thousands of years ago, the ancients linked stars to create constellations … more
Electromagnetic radiation refers to the electromagnetic field waves radiating through space-time, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Types of Electromagnetic Wave Electromagnetic waves are classified based on the length … more
Latitude of Polaris Polaris is far from Earth. Thus, light from the North Star reaches parallel to the Earth. And since the earth is round, the North Star’s latitude varies depending on where it is observed. Incidentally, the North Star … more
Interference patterns seen in thin films If a thin oil film is floating on the water, you will see a beautiful pattern appear on the oil film. This is because the two waves interfere with each other. One wave is … more
Is the moon really following me? How can you explain that the moon looks follow I? The moon doesn’t follow me. For example, if I go forward with a car, the landscape seems to move backward. If the vehicle moves … more
Law of action and reaction When we apply force to an object, that object also exerts the same amount of force on us. At this time, our force is ‘action,’ and the force exerted on us by the object is … more
Triangle Trick If you look closely, you can see that the triangle’s slope is not a straight line. One of the merged triangles is slightly convex up, and the other is somewhat concave down. However, the convexity and concaveness are … more
Mechanical energy Mechanical energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy. Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy Em = EP + EK Mechanical energy conservation Without friction, the sum of an object’s initial mechanical energy is equal … more
Surface tension Surface tension is a type of force that acts to minimize the surface of liquids. Liquid molecules are pulling together with other molecules around them. This force is called a ‘cohesive force.’ On the other hand, molecules on … more
Selecting the button to changes the background color. Use it when you need a specific color in various scientific experiments.
Surface temperature and color of object When the iron is heated, it is initially dark red, but as the iron’s temperature rises, it gradually takes on a yellowish color. This is because the light emitted by the iron changes as … more
Even if the object does not shine by itself, why can we see it? The eye is the organ that feels light. Even if the object does not shine by itself, why can we see it? Most objects can reflect … more
