Fahien came to India during the reign of Chandragupta Vikramaditya.

Both flies and bees can sit on the uncovered food and contaminate the food.

A standing wave also known as a stationary wave, is a wave in which its peaks or any other point on the wave do not move spatially.

This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The most common cause of standing waves is the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a resonator due to interference between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant frequency.

Hence, standing wave occurs when a wave reflects upon itself.

Ayurveda Day is annually celebrated across the globe on the day of Dhanwantri Jayanti, as a global initiative to promote and preserve the health science of Ayurveda.

Among the given options Brass is not a compound. Since it is an alloy, it is a mixture. It is a mixture of copper and zinc.

The smallest part of a compound is called a molecule. It has a unique composition that is always the same.

Compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements. 

   1) SO2                  2) CH2Cl2                3) PCl3

How to check the given molecules are polar or non polar :

If the electronegativity of the two bonded atoms are different then the bond is polar. Although, some molecules contain polar bonds, the molecule may be non-polar. If the polarity of all the bonds present in the molecule are cancel each other then molecule is non-polar.

In the given options,

SO2  is polar because the dipole moments on the O do not cancel.

PCl3  is polar because the P-Cl bonds do not cancel out.

CH2Cl2  polar because the C-Cl bonds do not cancel.

Hence, in brief, Polar molecules are molecules with net dipole due to the presence of partial positive and partial negative charge.

For example, water is a polar molecule that has partial positive and partial negative charge on it. CO2 is a non polar compound.

Therefore, all the given options SO2, CH2Cl2 and PCl3 are Polar molecules.
