Introduction The Triangle Law of Vector Addition is the concept that is utilized to add the 2 vectors and is also determined as the method of head-to-tail. This law also helps to calculate the velocity, net displacement, and acceleration. The law helps in vector algebra in order to find the resultant of the sum of vectors where the 2 or more 2 vectors are added. While considering the 2 vectors as P and Q, the angle between them will be θ and their summation can be found by using the formula of the triangle law of vector addition that ... Read More

Introduction Waves are determined as the disturbance in the medium through which it is travelling and transferring energy and momentum without any net motion of that medium. If the energy travels from one place to another, it is transported through these travel waves. The standing waves never transport energy like travelling waves. In another word, these travel waves can also be denoted as the wave in which positions of minimum and maximum amplitude are travelling along with the medium. The equation that can describe the travelling waves is y(x, t) = (0.003) cos(20 x + 200 t ). Here, x ... Read More

Introduction Transverse wave mainly refers to those waves in which the displacement or disturbance of direction acts as a medium perpendicular to that of the propagation of wave. It is seen that waves are present everywhere and they can be described as disturbances and they flow from one place to another place through the support of a medium. The transverse waves consist of some characteristics and different kinds of waves in this field can be seen. Among the different characteristics, it is said that waves can only pass through solids. Definition of Transverse Wave Transverse waves are the kind ... Read More

Introduction The significant history of transportation says that humans started their journey by travelling on foot for going to various places. After that, wheels are invented and with the invention, the use of animals for transportation became popular. Horse rides became popular and then the roads and railways, and airways came into use. It is said that the main modes of transport are land transport, water transport, and air transport. Introduction of Transportation History Transportation history is related to the starting of the human era. It is seen that the history of transportation changes with time. Humans first start ...

Introduction The light transmission of any object completely depends on the basic material of the objects. If the object allows a hundred per cent light transmission it is called transparent, and if the light transmission capacity of the object is less than a hundred per cent then it is a translucent object. On the other hand, if the object is made of one kind of material that can block the light transmission completely, it is called an opaque object. The properties of the object Every object that can be seen in any corner of the world is made of some ... Read More

Introduction Light has the characteristics to be reflected, transmitted or absorbed when it falls on a surface with a certain angle of incidence. Light appears as the only electromagnetic radiation that is capable of reflection, transmission and absorption while being visible to the human eye. The process of absorption, transmission and reflection are influenced by the neutral frequencies that can trigger these phenomena in real-time. Absorption of light Definition of absorption of light The process of absorption of light takes place when light is converted into energy after it falls on a surface. When the electrons absorb energy ... Read More

Introduction Theory of Boyle’s law is based on the properties of several gases and their laws. For any gaseous substances, it is stated that the gaseous matter does not have any proper shape or volume and it seems to adopt the shape where it is contained. The primary macroscopic properties of gases include their volume, pressure, mass and temperature respectively. All these properties of gasses can be easily explained by the theory of kinetic theory, where the respective motions and molecular composition of gases are considered. Theory of Boyle’s law Prior to defining of Theory of Boyle’s law, ... Read More

Introduction At the time when the subject is found in focus, the distance between the image sensor and the lens is considered the focal length of the lens. This concept is a crucial one as it helps to determine the nature of the mirror because it helps to understand the divergence and convergence of the light inside an optical system. In the cases where the focal length of the mirror is found to be positive, converge of light is found as well. Aim This experiment is conducted with the intention of finding the value of v in accordance with ... Read More
