A Detailed Overview of SI Units

To measure any given object, we need its unit. It isn’t easy to relate and understand the quantitative value without units. In 1960 with the rapid growth of science and technologies, scientists decided to have a universal system of units to avoid confusion due to units. Thus, they decided on the International System of units […]

A Detailed Explanation Of Measuring Units

Numbers and standard units express an amount of substance for the quantity of any given substance. A number alone is not sufficient to express the quantities. Units must be attached to the numbers. A unit is a standard used to measure a quantity of the same kind. A metre is a unit used to measure

What Is The Relation Between Physics, Technology, And Society?

Science, technology, and society have always been intertwined. Science and society accelerated further as new technologies were invented and facts were discovered. For example, Alexander Graham Bell, a Scottish engineer and scientist, invented the first telephone with practical function. His invention gave science a new dimension and made communication easier. Similarly, when Newton gave his

The Importance of Physics to Society

Physics, technology, and society have always been intertwined. Physics and society accelerated further as new technologies were invented or facts were discovered. For example, Alexander Graham Bell, a Scottish engineer and scientist, invented the first telephone with practical function. His invention gave physics a new dimension and improved communication in human society. Similarly, when Newton

LAYERS OF THE EARTH

The surface of the Earth is a breathtaking sight to see. Even the deepest canyon, though, is only a speck on the surface of the world. To have a true understanding of the Earth, you must travel 6,400 kilometres (3,977 miles) beneath its surface. The Earth is made up of four separate layers, which begin

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Who Coined the Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle? This principle was proposed by German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle challenges the correctness of calculation of momentum and position at the same time and places restrictions on the same. The more accurate the position calculation is, the less precise the measurement of momentum will be.

Halley’s Comet

Named after the astronomer Edmond Halley, Halley’s Comet is a periodic comet that returns to earth after a period of 75 years. It was last witnessed in 1986 and is likely to appear again in the year 2061. Edmond Halley was curious to study the comets seen from earth in 1531 and then 1607 and

Frame of reference

Introduction A frame of reference is an abstract coordinate system with an origin, direction, and scale given by a collection of reference geometric points whose position is both mathematically and physically identified in physics and astronomy. The requirement to differentiate between multiple interpretations of “frame of reference” has resulted in a plethora of words. The
