When the refraction of light occurs, the incident light rays bend. The refracted light ray either bend towards the normal or away from the... View Article
Huygens principle was proposed by Christiaan Huygens In 1678. The principle states that “every point on a wavefront is in itself the source of... View Article
Diffraction is the ability of the waves to bend around small obstacles. Sound waves have the ability to bend around objects. Suppose there is a... View Article
Zener diodes are made by heavily doped n-type and p-type semiconductors. The quantity of the doping of the semiconductors is kept different so... View Article
Zener diode is a special type of diode that is designed to work in reverse condition. Under forward bias condition, the diode acts as a normal... View Article
One of the major differences between the diode and the transistor is that diode converts alternating current into direct current. Transistors... View Article
In an ideal case, the vapour pressure is hardly influenced by the atmospheric pressure because we ignore the intermolecular forces in ideal... View Article
Tension can either be positive or negative depending on where the coordinate axes are placed. Regardless of the upward direction being taken as... View Article
Yes, the radius of the pulley affects the tensions in the belt. For a given frictional torque at the axle, the difference in tensions between the... View Article
No, surface tension doesn’t depend on the surface area. Surface tension is a property displayed by the liquid surface by acting as if it were a... View Article
In reverse bias condition, the charge carriers are pulled away from the p-n junction; as a result, the width of the p-n junction gets wider. The... View Article
The reverse saturation current is the part of the reverse current in a semiconductor diode which is caused by the diffusion of minority carriers... View Article
Simple Harmonic Motion or SHM is defined as a motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from... View Article
The following conditions are necessary for a harmonic motion to be accounted for as a simple harmonic motion: The restoring force must be... View Article
The frictional force is considered an impulsive force only in cases when the friction is proportional to the normal force. Is Friction Impulsive... View Article
No, both the terms mean different things. Decelaration refers to acceleration in the direction opposite to the direction of velocity. Meanwhile,... View Article
Thermal energy is stored as latent heat. Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released by a substance changing state. Therefore, when the heat... View Article
The capacitor was initially known as a condenser. The term “condensor” was associated with it because it was supposed to condense electric... View Article
Orbital angular velocity refers to how fast a point object revolves about a fixed origin. In other words, it is the time rate of change of its... View Article
