Which type of body wave travels faster? The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to ‘arrive’ at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of […]

Why did I see a slow moving star? Satellites generally appear as slow-moving “stars” that may disappear as they pass into Earth’s shadow. Some satellites, including the Hubble Space Telescope, sometimes reflect sunlight in an optimum way for a brief time, causing a bright flash or flare. Is it normal for stars to move? The […]

Why fluorine is more electronegativity than oxygen? Oxygen can form multiple bonds with metals, while fluorine can’t form multiple bonds with metals. Hence, oxygen has more ability to stabilize higher oxidation state rather than fluorine. Is oxygen more electronegative than F? And thus across a Period (from RIGHT to LEFT as we face the Table), […]

Does tap water have E coli? coli may be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or groundwater. When these waters are used as sources of drinking water and the water is not treated or inadequately treated, E. coli may end up in the drinking water. Can you get e coli from your own poop? You […]

What do computers use to absorb heat? Heat Sink – A heat sink is a thermally conductive device placed over a CPU or a GPU to absorb some of the heat that is being generated. Faster processors, as well as multi-core processors, require bigger and more elaborate heat sinks to keep their temperatures within acceptable […]

Why is there a mass limit for white dwarf stars? This is because the more mass a white dwarf has, the more its electrons must squeeze together to maintain enough outward pressure to support the extra mass. However, there is a limit on the amount of mass a white dwarf can have. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar discovered […]
