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
What is the size of the light? There is no exact concept of sizing the light, but it uses the wavelength of the light. Wavelength is the distance traveled by a wave before it vibrates once and returns to its … more
A standing wave occurs when incoming and reflected waves interfere with each other. It produces a wave pattern that appears to be stationary. Nodes are locations where particles of the medium appear to be at rest. And, antinodes are locations … more
Movable Pulley Movable pulleys can move axes, unlike fixed pulleys. Movable pulleys have the advantage of being able to move with less force. But, the distance that I have to move is longer than the fixed pulley. So, there is … more

A rainbow is a natural phenomenon where the dispersion of light is most visible. As you know, We can see a rainbow after it rains because the water droplets bend and disperse the light. For example, if we spray water … more
Color and Eye Recognition Visible light has various colors. Light has a different color depending on the wavelength (or frequency). So, how do people perceive color? Cone cells in the eye’s retina recognize color. There are three kinds of cone … more
Why is the incident angle and the reflection angle the same? ‘Law of reflection’ has the word ‘law’ attached. ‘Law’ refers to a situation in which a natural phenomenon happens repeatedly and without exceptions. In other words, ‘law’ only tells … more
Parallel sunlight The radiant energy of the sun spreads in every direction. However, since the sun and the earth are far apart, we assume that they are usually almost parallel. Ancient Greece’s Eratosthenes measured Earth’s size quite accurately, assuming that … more
