Physics Questions

If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload.

The frequency of a sound wave is determined by the amplitude of the wave. As amplitude of the wave is high the frequency of the wave will also be high.

The photoelectric effect pointed to the particle properties of light, which had been considered to be a wave phenomenon. Particles like electron and protons have both particle like and wave like behavior. Thus, according to de Broglie, all the material particles in motion possess wave characteristics. Although the dual nature of matter is applicable to all material objects but it is significant for microscopic bodies only.

A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor. The capacity of the air conditioning depends entirely on the capacity of the compressor. The reciprocating compressor is usually used in AC.

The reciprocating compressor have piston and cylinder arrangement like the automotive engine. The reciprocating motion of the piston due to external power compresses the refrigerant inside the cylinder.

There are three types of reciprocating compressors:

hermetically sealed,

semi-hermetically sealed and

open type.

The photon is a type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. The photon has zero rest mass and always moves at the speed of light within a vacuum.
