Introduction Conservation laws balances the universe in a very good manner. A given physical property doesn't often alter with time in an enclosed physical system, according to the conservation law which governs it. Certain sets of principles regulate energy, momentum, angular momentum, mass, and electric charge throughout classical physics. Additional conservation norms in particle physics implement subatomic particle properties that remain constant throughout interactions. The ability to forecast a system's macroscopic behaviour without thinking about the microscopic specifics of how a physical process or chemical reaction would unfold is a key function of conservation laws. What are the Conservation ... Read More

Introduction Betatron oscillation is executed by electron in a particle accelerator. There are a large number of situations we come across in the realm of science wherein, we need subatomic particles to be accelerated to very high velocities. For example, high energy electrons are used in the production of various types of nanomaterials. X-rays are generated via bombardment of metals with very high energy electrons. Particle accelerators also find usage in cancer treatment. Unfortunately, subatomic particles aren’t naturally as energetic as we need them to be. This is where particle accelerators come in. Simply put, a particle accelerator is an ... Read More

Introduction Constant angular acceleration is an import concept of rotational dynamics. When describing a change in linear velocity, we use linear acceleration; however, when dealing with spinning bodies or objects that are moving curvilinearly, we use angular acceleration. You would not be surprised to learn that angular acceleration is the rotational counterpart of linear acceleration as the rate of rotation is the angular velocity. In contrast to angular acceleration, which defines the rate at which angular velocity changes, linear acceleration explains the rate at which linear velocity changes. What is Angular Acceleration? The rate at which angular velocity changes ... Read More

Introduction Angular speed is a scalar quantity. The physical quantities which contain both magnitude and direction are called vector quantities like Displacement, Velocity, and so on. The physical quantity which contains only magnitude is called a scalar quantity. For example, distance, speed, etc. Angular velocity and angular speed both are denoted by the same formula but the only contrast between them is angular velocity is the vector quantity and angular speed is the scalar quantity.Circular motion is an example of angular motion because at every point moving objects change their angle concerning the time at every point. Angular Motion ... Read More

Difference Between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity

The two most significant discoveries of the 20th century, Quantum Mechanics and the General Theory of Relativity, serve as the cornerstones of modern physics. Both of these hypotheses are crucial to our present knowledge of physics, yet they don't appear to mesh well. For many years, physicists have labored to find a middle ground between these two schools of thought. The main problems of Newtonian physics were addressed by both views. These two theories have drastically affected our sense of what objects ought to be and how they ought to act. The General Theory of Relativity, written by Albert Einstein ... Read More

Introduction Density can be described as a substance's mass per unit volume at a particular temperature and pressure. A gas's density is also determined by its mass divided by its volume. Additionally, once you are aware of a gas's density, you may determine its molar mass. All gases density varies with temperature and pressure. In this article we will learn how to calculate gas’s density. What is the Density of Gas? Gases are very responsive to changes in temperature and pressure, regardless of how slight the change may be since they are compressible, have constantly molecules are moving. Weak intermolecular ...

Introduction Knowing the atomic radius helps us to predict the reactivity levels of atoms. The smaller the radii, they will be more reactive than the larger ones. This article covers all aspects of atomic radii of chemical elements. The periodic table patterns, different types of radii and so on, are discussed below. Define Atomic Radius and Atomic Size The periodic table is an organized table for reference. It contains elements arranged with the smaller atomic number to the highest atomic number in different groups. The quantity of protons in the core of molecule is the atomic number. Atomic radius is ... Read More

Introduction Ampere Prefixes are commonly used while studying electrical circuits. There are seven fundamental units i.e. metre(m), kilogram (Kg), second(sec), Ampere(A), Kelvin(K), mole(mol), and Candela (Cd). Among these basic units, Ampere(A) is used to denote the flow of current. It is also noted shortly as the amp. There are many systems of units used such as the KGS system, CGS system, and International SI system. Different systems assign different units for basic elements. Conversion of units can be done between different unit types. An ammeter is given to measure the flow of electric current in a circuit in ampere. What ... Read More

Introduction Bohr’s atomic model was a major breakthrough in the field of study of atomic structure. Atoms are a basic unit of all materials. According to the Bohr atomic model atoms contain a small central core called a nucleus which is full of positive charges. Electrons round about the nucleus in particular circles named orbits. Sharon Bewick, Bohr's model, CC BY-SA 3.0 The circular path is maintained by the centripetal force derived from the electrostatic force between the electrons and the nucleus. Atomic Models Multiple models were developed to explain the structure of the atom. These models are ... Read More

Introduction Azimuthal quantum number and their study are important to understand the quantum nature of matter. Atoms are a basic unit of a material. According to the Bohr atom model atoms contain a small central core called a nucleus which is full of positive charges. Electrons are round about the nucleus in a particular circle named orbits. The circular path is maintained by the centripetal force derived from the electrostatic force between the electrons and the nucleus. Different orbits have different energy. As it fails to explain Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and particle’s dual nature a new branch called quantum mechanics ... Read More
