Chromosome If you look at the onion root under a microscope, you can see cells of different shapes and sizes, such as cells with an apparent nucleus, cells that appear to be split into two cells, and cells that have … more
Doppler Effect We have heard an ambulance siren and felt that the ambulance is getting closer. When the ambulance approaches, the sirens sound higher, and when they move away, the sirens sound lower. That is, when an ambulance approaches with … more
Star brightness and apparent magnitude Hipparchus of ancient Greece distinguished the stars in the night sky according to their brightness. He classified the brightest star as ‘magnitude 1’ and the darkest star as ‘magnitude 6.’ The stars in between were … more
Parallax When an object is close to me, you can use a ruler to measure the distance. But, it isn’t easy to measure when the object is away from me. In this case, how can you measure the distance? Humans … more
Looking through the VR device, you can observe the 3-dimensional molecular bonding structure of ice.
In parallel circuit, The current splits up when it comes to a branch. The current in all the branches adds up to the current in the main part of the circuit. If one bulb breaks, the bulbs in the other … more
An inductor, also called a coil, choke, or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores electrical energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. Inductors are widely used in alternating current(AC) electronic equipment, particularly in … more
Galileo’s Pump Problem A duke living in Tuscany, Italy, in the 17th century installed a well in the courtyard of the palace. But, the duke saw the pump fail to pull water up. The Duke asked Galileo for this. Galileo … more
A pendulum that vibrates is one of a ‘simple pendulum’ or ‘physical pendulum.’ A simple pendulum is a case in which an object’s angular motion can be ignored, such as a small object suspended from a string. Most pendulums are … more
