Introduction The refractive index is proportional in nature to the critical angle. In a situation, when a light ray is traveling from a single medium to another medium, a critical angle is found to be created. This type of angle strikes the main boundary that is situated between the lower index and the medium. At that time, the ray does not reflect in the first medium of traveling. The limit of the critical angle can be measured by implementing a particular formula. Features of Critical angle This angle is highly affected by the changes within a refractive index. The refractive ... Read More

Introduction The radius of gyration of an object about the axis of its rotation is generally defined as the radial distance. This distance is associated with a point which would have a moment of inertia. This moment of inertia would be equal to the actual mass distribution of the particular body, in case the total mass of the body were to be concentrated at that point. The radius of the gyration is useful in various subjects throughout the daily course of life, especially in the field of engineering. In real life, this is used to study the rigidity of ... Read More

Introduction When a constant value of current passes through a conductor, the same ampere of current will flow in the conductor. The flow of current is the same, but the sections may differ in some parts. The flow of current is a macroscopic feature. Current The rate at which the electrons flow in a particular circuit or the flow of electrically charged particles is called current. It is represented by the symbol I. And Ampere is a standard unit used to measure current. The current will always flow in one particular direction. Types of Current Current can be classified into ... Read More

Introduction The present tutorial will focus on the explanation of the definition of refraction which states a redirection of a wave or the ray of light while passing from one objective medium form another. Based on the concept of physics, the tutorial will include an explanation related to the reason, for which the refraction of light is happen. Moreover, the tutorial will include a discussion regarding the laws of refraction and the effects of refraction along with the applications as well. What is refraction? Figure 1: Refraction It is known to all that light travels at the highest speed ... Read More

Introduction A ray of white light while travelling obliquely from one medium to another, it is seen to deviate from its original course. Along with that, while passing through a transparent substance like a glass prism, the white light distributes in its constituent spectrum of colours. Based on these two concepts of physics, the tutorial intends to include an effective discussion regarding refraction and dispersion of light through a prism. What Is The Dispersion of Light? The phenomenon of dispersion can be defined as the splitting of visible light into its component colours. Light is considered a mixture of different ... Read More

Introduction A current coil is basically a type of coil, like a wire, covered around an electrical conductor. The conductor is a soft iron core and the coil is made of insulated copper wire. If the coil covered around the conductor carries current, it is noted that the coil starts acting similar to a magnet. When the conductor wrapped around a current-carrying coil carries current is called electromagnetism. Most physics experiment is carried out by using the same property. Images Coming soon Factors on which Strength of Electromagnetism Depends The strength of electromagnetism depends the following factors: The main ... Read More

Introduction The principle of fluid pressure is transmitted in the machines defined in "Pascal’s law" and it discovers the force direction. The direction of the force in the fluid container gets directed to the pressure point and the change of fore get occurs everyplace. The principle of Pascal’s is associated with fluid mechanics. The application of this force transmission principle applies in modern days is the hydraulic system which is based on "Pascal’s law" published around 1650 by Blaise Pascal. Information Regarding Pascal's Law "Pascal’s law" is regarded as a statement regarding the transformation of force where the point of ... Read More

Curie Weiss Law Curie-Weiss law is an important law in physics under the topic of electromagnetism. The Curi-Weiss law states that the magnetic susceptibility of a ferromagnetic material is greater than the Curie temperature point in the paramagnetic zone of the ferromagnet. With this feature, the object's magnetic moment determines the torque of a magnet in response to the presence of an external magnetic field. In the magnetic substances above the Curie temperature, the moments are randomly oriented, determine the net magnetic polarization or magnetization equals to zero. Examples of magnetic moments are the electric current loop, a bar magnet, ... Read More

Introduction According to physics, different real-life applications of specific gravity are available. In the practice, specific gravity does not include any dimensionless quantity that has the correct implications. Measuring specific gravity needs to take the consideration of the refractive index scale, and the right scale is marked with the scale of g/100ml. Moreover, pressure also affects the substances of specific gratuity in the practice. In this tutorial, the applications of the specific gravity to real life and the factors that are affecting it have been described well. Figure 1: Units to measure specific gravity by Refract meter Introduction to Specific ... Read More

Introduction Before getting an idea of the relationship that exhibits between the electron volt and joule, we first need to define what is defined as units. In Physics, the term unit is used as a standard of measurement for several physical quantities. Units are used in building up a relationship among the different measures of equal quantities. In any scientific method, Joule states the SI'' or Standard International unit for providing a standard measurement of amounts of energy, whereas, electron volt states to provide the value of energy gained. Definition of Electron Volt Electron volt, can be defined ... Read More
