Introduction Measuring volume of irregular lamina using screw gauge has many practical applications in our daily life. we observe many objects that are irregular in shape with different thicknesses. Measuring thickness, area, and volume parameters for regular smooth objects will be easy. But for irregular objects, these parameters need an instrument and carefully acquiring the values. Here, an irregular lamina object’s volume is measured by knowing the parameters area, and thickness of the lamina object. What is Screw Gauge? To measure the small values of physical parameters of irregularly shaped objects, we need an accurate instrument. “Screw Gauge” ... Read More

Introduction Bridge is a structure that carries pathways, railroads, or other such things across an obstacle. But bridges themselves are much more intricate. Their beauty lies in the abilities granted to them by their design. Indeed, architects and engineers have now been able to design bridges without support in between, something people commonly referred to as a hanging bridge. While it will be difficult to engineer a complex design if you are in school, there are still various interesting ways for you to explore the world of bridges via DIY bridge projects. In this article, we will discuss a small ... Read More

Introduction Electrical circuit is referred to as the pathway that is associated with the transmission of the electric current. However, in this electrical circuit there lies a device that provides current to the charged particles. These charge particles constitute the current, for example, a battery or generator. The electrical circuit includes several devices such as, resistors, batteries, inductors, capacitors, and transistors or switches. However, the electrical circuit is a closed-loop that supports the flow of electrons through the wire. Theory and Circuit diagram Ohm’s Law is referred to as the relation between the current flowing through the circuit and that ... Read More

Introduction According to Hooke’s Law, it can be stated that any kind of displacement and deformation that is noticed within an object seems to be directly proportional to the force applied upon the stated body of load. Following this principle, the spring balance will perform the practical experiment by determining the mass of two different bodies. In this device, a beam is placed in the centre with the support of an agate knife-edge, that rests on the vertical pillar. The device is appropriate for calibrating masses having a range of 10 mg to 1 kg. Theory Figure 1: Beam balance ... Read More

Introduction Identifying the path of the white light through a triangular prism is an important scientific experiment. It is used to exhibit the spectrum of visible light. Different types of light hold different colors when they pass through a triangular prism they are divided into multiple spectra and thus by this experiment is found that a mere white light possesses the different colors in it. This experiment was first done by Isaac Newton in 1665. Some significant facts of Triangular Prism Triangular prism is generally a polyhedron that has two parallel bases. When a particular ray of light divided into ... Read More

Introduction The nature of a light’s path-changing process is evaluated based on the experiment in which the path of light is traced when it crosses a glass slab. According to Snell’s law of refraction, the nature of light varies from its traveling medium. Interpreting the result helps an individual to understand the reason behind changes in the value of refraction. Figure 1: Light passing through a glass slab Aims The aim of this experiment is to trace the exact path in which light passes if it has to pass through a rectangular glass slab. Another aim of this experiment ... 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 In the experiment for studying the relationship that exists between length and the tension with respect to the frequency of the sound wave, the device of sonometer is important. It is a device that follows the Law of tension, where it is directly proportional to the frequency associated with the given string. This device is a hollow rectangular box made out of wood and has a length of more than 1 meter. To the end of the sonometer, there lies a hook and on the other side, it has a pulley. This experiment is conducted to verify the ... Read More

Introduction In order to get the measurement of a sheet made with any metal, different tools are used including screw gauge and Vernier Callipers. Using this particular measurement tool, one can be able to measure the width of a metal sheet in a more precise manner that is up to 0.005 mm. The screw gauge has two successive threads that are separated by a similar amount of space. Focusing on such a concept of physics, the current tutorial will explain the experiment for measuring the thickness of a sheet by using a screw gauge. Aim The core intention ... 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
