Colours In Diamonds

Diamonds are the hardest mineral form of carbon. Carbon is present on earth in two forms: diamonds and graphite. Graphite is a soft greyish-black mineral, whereas diamond is a hard and colourless form of carbon. They are found naturally on earth, and it is the hardest naturally present substance and most popular gemstone. They are […]

Centre of Mass and its Motion

A body’s or system of particles’ centre of mass is defined as a point where the body’s or system of particles’s masses appear to be concentrated. The centre of mass (also known as the point of equilibrium) is a location at the centre of the mass distribution in space where the weighted relative position of

Bulk Modulus in Mechanics

Today we will see the interesting topic of physics, that is bulk modulus. Bulk modulus is defined as the ratio of volumetric stress to the volumetric strain of any material. In simple terms, bulk modulus is nothing more than a numerical constant which is used to determine and describe the elastic properties of a solid

Bulk Modulus Formula

The bulk modulus is defined as the fraction of volumetric stress linked to the volumetric strain of a certain material when the material is deformed within the elastic limit. Put another way, the bulk modulus is a numerical constant used to quantify and explain the elastic characteristics of a solid or fluid when pressure is

Bulk Modulus (B)

The bulk modulus is defined as the measure of decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure. It is used in measuring the mechanical properties of solids and other elastic modulus and the proportion of volumetric stress, which is related to the volumetric strain in a specific material while the material is deforming within the elastic

Bulk modulus

Bulk modulus In physics, bulk modulus is one of the most interesting topics used in describing the elastic properties of solid or fluid material when it is placed under the pressure of all surfaces. We can describe a material’s response to strain and stress with laws such as Young’s modulus, Hooke’s law, shear modulus, and

Bohr’s model

Niel Henrik David Bohr(1913), a great name in physics, was the first one who explained the general features of the structure of hydrogen atoms and their spectrum quantitatively. In 1912, Bohr joined Ernest Rutherford’s group in Manchester, where he began to work on atomic theory. In 1913, he established this atomic model when working in

Bohr Radius

The Bohr radius, denoted by the letter a, is the average radius of an electron’s orbit around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in its lowest state (lowest-energy level). The radius is an approximately equivalent to 5.29177 x 10-11metre, which is a physical constant (m). 5.29177 x 10-9centimetres (cm) or 0.0529177 nanometers (nm). This span

Beta and Gamma Particles/Rays

Introduction Most elements in the periodic table have stable nuclei. But certain elements have unstable nuclei. An unstable nucleus tries to get to a stable configuration by decomposing to two or more elements of lesser atomic number. Such unstable elements are called radioactive elements.  When an atomic nucleus decays, it emits particles such as alpha,

BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE AND ITS APPLICATION

Atomic mass is the amount of matter contained in a molecule or a component. It is conferred as an alternate of one-twelfth the mass of the carbon-12 molecule, 1.992646547 × 10−23 gram, which is appointed a nuclear mass of 12 units. On this scale, one nuclear mass unit (amu) compares to 1.660539040 × 10−24 grams.
