What is a biconvex lens? |
Sweety |
2/9/2009 |
Ans: |
Bi-convex lenses are manufactured with an identical convex surface on both sides of the lens. Bi-convex lenses have positive focal lengths and form both real and virtual images, also called convexo-convex lens. Lenses are classified according to the way in which they bend the rays of light entering them. Parallel rays of light passing through these converging lenses are bent toward one another; these lenses are thicker at the center than at the edges. |

Q11: |
Please tell me does the speed of light also depends on its source? The greater the energy of the source,the greater the speed of light??? eg., The Sun. |
Ramakrishna |
11/6/2008 |
Ans: |
The speed of light is independent of the source, a source with higher intensity will emit more light as compared to one with lower intensity for example Sun emit high intensity of light compared to a bulb but the speed of the light remains the same |

Q13: |
Plz tell me that When a room is fully lighted, we cannot see the dust particles with naked eyes in the room but when we see a beam of light in a dark room, then we can see a large number of dust particles moving in air. Why it happen so? |
Ahsan |
13/1/2008 |
Ans: |
Dust particles scatter light in all directions; they do this for a well-lit room also. We can observe dust particles in a beam of light in dark background as they are scattering light and we are referencing this against the dark background. But when you light up the background, the light falling is equal at every point and even though dust particle still scatter light but this light loses it shine against other uniform lighting. Hence, dust particles are not visible in a well-lit room. |

Q14: |
can u give me a number of sites that shows examples and pictorial representation so it will help me grasp the concept? |
Dana |
25/9/2007 |
Ans: |
Why you did not like ours ;), actually a good place to start is msn Encarta or Wikipedia, they will give some details, hyperphysics site is another good one., search them in google to locate the sites |

Q15: |
I want to know that there is a light in refrigerator but not in a freezer. WHY?? |
Ahsan |
22/9/2007 |
Ans: |
There are two factors 1) Thermal expansion 2) Condensation. Freezer is opened for short periods. The temperature in the freezer is minus 20 degree Celsius or lower. An incandescent bulb lights up at 2000 deg C filament temperature, with glass cover at 200 deg C. Rapid cooling causes lot of surface stresses leading to fracture. Deposition of condensation, on the surface of bulb leads to uneven expansion, leading to breaking of glass or filament this leads to frequent failure of bulbs |

Q16: |
why do you sometimes just give a blank bar as an answer??? |
deena |
20/9/2007 |
Ans: |
A blank bar shows that answer is pending. Your questions are passed on to our in-house and offsite researchers, usually they answer it within 3-4 days, and if their workload is heavy, they take longer. At times, if the deadline of 15 days passes without it being answered or a satisfactory answer, we either delete the question or resubmit it to another researcher. Frequently it happens that there are so many questions asked that we get overwhelmed and the questions pile up. |

Q17: |
how can i study physics |
Dana |
20/9/2007 |
Ans: |
Physics requires imagination for understanding it, because most of the concepts are representation of real life. However, the problem comes in when invisible forces, difficult equations, formula and derivations get involved. One of the way out is to try and perform small experiments to “see” the problem otherwise try to visualize the problem, a number of sites on the net show examples and pictorial representation, this will help you grasp the fundamental concepts and you will start liking physic |

Q18: |
what is a critical angle?? can you show me a brief diagram |
deena |
20/9/2007 |
Ans: |
The critical angle is defined as the angle of incidence that produces an angle of refraction of 90-degrees. When a light ray approaches a less dense medium (air) from a denser medium (water) the bending is toward the surface. At a certain angle, the bending will be so high that the refracted beam will be directed right along the surface (angle of refraction is 90 degree to Normal) so none of it will get out into the air, the angle of incidence will then be the critical angle. |
|
|
Q19: |
when do we use the formula of the refractive index and what is the formula?? |
Mia |
20/9/2007 |
Ans: |
The formula is used find the refractive index of a particular medium; this is employed in cutting of gemstones and crystals, and in engineering optical cables. To find n = Sine I / Sine R, Where n is the refractive index, Sine I is the sine of the angle of incidence, and Sine R is the sine of the angle of refraction. (This is Snell’s law) |

Is There any contribution related to the "Theory of Relativity" by any Pakistani Scientist who was also a reknown mathematician. Kindly reply this. |
Ahsan |
1/7/2007 |
Ans: |
Mr. Abdus Salam - receiveda Nobel Prize in 1979 for Physics for his work in formulating the electroweak theory, which explains the unity of the weak nuclear force and electromagnetism. He was a professor of mathematics in 1951–54 in Pakistan and then went to Cambridge to teach mathematics |

Q23: |
What is optical zooming |
Ahsan |
24/6/2007 |
Ans: |
In optical zoom, the lens moves (the focal length changes) to bring you closer to the subject; you can get a sharp high quality picture from a distance. In digital zoom, the camera does not zoom but crops a portion of the image and then enlarges it back to size; the picture is blurry due to pixelation (the distance between pixels increases). This can be done in any image editing software also, thus, same sized zoomed image will be much clearer in optical zoom as compared to digital one. |
|
|
Q24: |
In astrology what is meant by the distance,"Goldy locks". Plz tell me in detail. |
Ahsan |
16/6/2007 |
Ans: |
The Goldilocks Zone is a habitable zone in space where the temperature and climatic conditions are just right for life. The term derives from the story of Goldilocks, who preferred porridge that was neither too hot nor not too cold. Earth is an example it is between Venus an inferno world and the frigid world of Mars. Here or there would make it inhabitable. One of the criterions of Goldilocks zone is presence of liquid water on surface. Scientists look for such zones in space. |

|
Q25: |
How many types of a lens. Plz tell me in detail. |
Ahsan |
14/4/2007 |
Ans: |
Classifying them according to their curvature of optical surfaces, they are : biconvex (or convex) if both surfaces are convex, likewise, if the optical surfaces are concave, it is biconcave (or just concave). If one of the surfaces is flat, the lens is plano-convex or plano-concave. If it has one surface convex and the other concave, it is convex-concave. |

Q26: |
I am 15 years old. My eyesight is weak about -4. When it was start it was only -0.75 & later it become weak & weak. Tell me why is it happening. Kindly tell me about"How can I carrect my eyesight |
ahsan |
14/4/2007 |
Ans: |
Ahsan, the eyes could weaken due to genetic factors, medical condition or their usage ( example : watching TV from close and continuously). An eye doctor or opthlmologist can diagnose your ailment correctly, we suggest that you see a "Real" Doctor for your problem and its cure. |
