Dimensional Formula of Coefficient of Viscosity

Have you ever wondered why honey is thicker than water? Or why do different liquids have different consistency?  For example, just pour some water and honey into different tumblers simultaneously. Did you notice any difference in the time taken by each liquid to reach the respective tumblers? Did honey take more time to reach the […]

Density and volume

Density A material’s density is defined as the density of that material in a given area. The material’s density relates to its mass per unit volume. It’s a measurement of how closely matter particles are packed together in general. The density principle was proposed by Archimedes. The density of various materials varies. Formula of Density

Density and Specific Gravity

Specific gravity is calculated by dividing the density of a substance by the density of a standard or reference substance. Water is commonly used as a standard of comparison. Density, on the other hand, is measured in terms of weight units in relation to the size of the object. Density is calculated by dividing the

Change of State – Latent Heat

There are different types of changes of states happening in our day-to-day life which we notice in our surroundings. Different forms of state can be solid-state, liquid state, or gaseous state. Materials can exist in either of the forms and they can change between their states. When they change, properties of the substances will also

Bubbles and Capillary Rise

Capillarity is the depression or rise of a liquid in a narrow passage. For example, water seeping in the gaps between the fibres of a towel or the holes in a porous material. Other names for this behaviour include capillary motion, capillarity or wicking.  Capillary action is not restricted to the vertical plane. It mainly

Black-Body Radiation

To study the qualitative ideas of black body radiation, you must know that the ideal black body notion is of chief importance in the theory of thermal radiation and electromagnetic radiation, where energy is transferred together with wavelength bands.  Definition of a Black Body A black body can be defined as a body that allows
