Phase of Venus
Venus’ changes in phase and size are strong evidence of ‘Heliocentrism.’ Venus looks like a crescent moon or a full moon, depending on its angle to the sun. Venus is large when it looks like a crescent moon. And Venus … more
Young’s Double Slit
You can adjust the spacing and position of the slits. Young’s double slit experiment Young’s interference experiment is as follows: The light diffracted from the small holes S0 on-screen ‘A’ passes through the small holes S1 and S2. Light passing … more
Electron Configuration of an Atom
Orbital An atom has an atomic nucleus with a (+) charge at the center and electrons with a negative charge around it. Electrons are arranged according to certain rules (wave functions), which are called ‘orbitals.’ In an atom, electrons form … more
Magnetic Field around a Bar Magnet
Magnetic field around magnet The space where the magnetic force of the magnet acts is called a ‘magnetic field.’ The direction of the magnetic field is determined in the direction indicated by the N pole of the magnetic needle placed … more
Superposition
Superposition and interference of waves Two matters cannot be in the same location. But, two or more waves can be in the same space and at the same time. Throwing two stones into the pond creates an interference pattern due … more
Electromagnetic Wave
Whenever electric charge (such as an electron) accelerates, it gives out energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. For example, electrons moving up and down a radio antenna produce a type of radiation known as a radio wave. Electromagnetic radiation … more
Quantum of Light
This simulation assumed that a candle emits all its energy in only one specific wavelength. The power of the candle is assumed to be 50W. The emitted wave diagram is for understanding only and does not represent the actual wavelength … more
Diode making
A diode is an electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction. It has low resistance in one direction, and high resistance in the other. A diode is made by joining an n-type and p-type semiconductor. n-type semiconductor: doping … more
Thermometer
A thermometer is a device used to measure temperature. There are several types of thermometers, depending on how the temperature is measured. Thermal Expansion: Uses the principle that the volume expands with increasing temperature. Mercury thermometer, alcohol thermometer, bimetal thermometer. … more
Three Phase Equilibrium
All naturally occurring elements CAN exist as a solid, liquid, or gas, and all will have at least one triple point. (except Helium) The triple point is the unique combination of temperature and pressure at which the solid phase, liquid … more
Why we can’t see atoms under an optical microscope?
Why we can’t see atoms under an optical microscope? The process by which we see objects is based on light. Therefore, the resolution of object recognition depends on the light. Just as a tool must be precise to open a … more
