Physics Questions

A Mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon due to unequal heating of different parts of the atmosphere in which light rays bend to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky.

At the center of the sun, nuclear fusion converts hydrogen into helium, energy, and neutrinos. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).

A Mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed.

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

* A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.

* A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present.

Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances.

Alternating Current (AC) is the current in which flow of current is altered periodically whereas in DC current i.e, direct current the flow of current is only in one direction.

Some of the sources of AC current are :

1. Hydro-electric generators

2. Thermal power generators

3. Nuclear  power generators...

Energy tranfer takes place either by means of Heat or Work only in Thermodynamics.

Heat :: Heat Energy is defined as Energy that can be transferred due to temperature change.

Whereas

Thermal Energy :: Thermal Energy is the Internal Energy stored in the system maintained at a certain Temperature.

In physics, the dynamo theory proposes a mechanism by which a celestial body such as Earth or a star generates a magnetic field.

Earth's crust core contains a large amount of iron and nickel is the evidence of the dynamo theory.

coulomb is unit of Electric Charge,

watt per meter per degree celcius is unit of Thermal Conductivity,

joule per kilogram per Kelvin is unit of Specific Heat capacity.
