Science > Physics > Themodynamics > Introduction In this article, we shall study the concept of thermodynamics and thermodynamic state. Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the inter-conversion between heat energy and any other form of energy. Thermodynamic State: The simplest example of a system to which thermodynamics can be applied is […]
Science > Physics > Simple Machines > Levers A simple machine is a mechanical device that makes our life easier. If a force is applied at one point, the simple machine transmits it to another point with a convenient change of magnitude and direction. In this article we shall study the terminology associated with the […]
Science > Physics > Refraction of Light > Refraction Through Prism In this article, we shall study refraction through prism. Prism: A prism is a portion of a transparent medium which is bounded by non-parallel plane surfaces. The two plane surfaces ABCD and AEFD intersecting each other in line AD are called the refracting faces […]
Science > Physics > Work, Power, and Energy > Conservation of Energy In this article, we shall study the concept of energy, types of mechanical energies, and the law of conservation of energy Energy: Different types of energy are mechanical energy, sound energy, heat energy, light energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, atomic energy, nuclear energy. […]
Science > Physics > Work, Power, and Energy > Work and Power In this article, we shall study the concept of work and power. Work: When a force is applied to a body and there is the displacement of the body in the direction of the force or along the direction of the component of […]
Science > Physics > Themodynamics > Laws of Thermodynamics In this article, we shall study the laws of thermodynamics and the concept of work done in a process. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: If two bodies P and Q are in thermal equilibrium and also P and R in thermal equilibrium then Q and R, are […]
Science > Physics > Nuclear Physics > Natural Radioactivity Radioactivity was discovered by French physicist Antoine Becquerel in 1896. He found that certain compounds of uranium emitted invisible radiations which affected photographic plates. It is also found that Thorium and its compounds also show these properties. Madame Curie and Piere Curie discovered two elements namely […]
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 […]
Science > Physics > Rotational Motion > Numerical Problems on Moment of Inertia and Radius of Gyration In this article, we shall study to solve problems of calculation of moment of inertia, the radius of gyration, and torque acting on a rotating body. Example – 01: A thin uniform rod of length 1 m and […]
Science > Physics > Rotational Motion > Applications of Parallel and Perpendicular Axes Theorems The parallel axes theorem states that ” The moment of inertia of a rigid body about any axis is equal to the sum of its moment of inertia about a parallel axis through its centre of mass and the product of […]
