Introduction to Reflection of Light

Science > Physics > Optics > Reflection of Light > Introduction to Reflection of Light When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The surface which reflects the light is called a reflecting surface. The ray of light approaching the […]

Octet Theory

Science > Chemistry > Physical Chemistry > Nature of Chemical Bond > Octet Theory The force of attraction which keeps atoms or ions together in a molecule is called a Chemical bond. The main cause of chemical combination is the tendency to acquire stability i.e. a state with minimum energy and a tendency to acquire […]

Artificial Satellites

Science > Physics > Astronomical Physics > Artificial Satellites In this article, we shall study about artificial satellites and their uses. Natural satellites are heavenly bodies revolving around a planet in their fixed orbits. They are comparatively larger in size and their orbits have larger radii. Their surfaces are made of rocky mountains or gas. […]
