Introduction to Wave Motion

Science > Physics > Wave Motion > Wave Motion The motion that repeats itself after fixed intervals of time is called periodic motion. We know that oscillatory motion is a type of periodic motion. Oscillatory motion is defined as the to and fro motion of an object from its mean position. Examples: oscillation of simple […]

Emission and Absorption Spectra

Science > Physics > Refraction of Light > Emission and Absorption Spectra A spectrum is a pattern which gives the wavelengths of radiation emitted (or absorbed) by a substance. The spectra in the visible region are divided into two groups. Emission spectra and absorption spectra. We use a spectrometer to study a spectrum.  Light from […]

Res ipsa loquitur

“Res ipsa loquitur” is a Latin phrase that means, “the thing speaks for itself” and pertains to obvious cases of negligence. Under the common law of negligence, the res ipsa loquitur doctrine indicates that a breach of a party’s duty of care may be inferred from the events that occurred. In other words, the negligence is so […]
