How a barrel of oil is used? For many, a barrel of oil is almost synonymous with its most prominent product, gasoline. While almost 40% of a barrel of oil is used to produce gasoline, the rest is used to produce a host of products including jet fuel and plastics and many industrial chemicals. What […]
What is solar wind caused by?
What is solar wind caused by? The solar wind is created by the outward expansion of plasma (a collection of charged particles) from the Sun’s corona (outermost atmosphere). This plasma is continually heated to the point that the Sun’s gravity can’t hold it down. It then travels along the Sun’s magnetic field lines that extend […]
What is Hypsochromic shift example?
What is Hypsochromic shift example? Hypsochromic shift is a phenomenon seen in molecular spectra, not atomic spectra – it is thus more common to speak of the movement of the peaks in the spectrum rather than lines. For example, β-acylpyrrole will show a hypsochromic shift of 30-40 nm in comparison with α-acylpyrroles. Why does red […]
What is quality factor in LCR circuit?
What is quality factor in LCR circuit? Define ‘quality factor’ of resonance in a series LCR circuit. Quality factor relates the maximum or peak energy stored in the circuit (the reactance) to the energy dissipated (the resistance) during each cycle of oscillation. Quality factor is expressed as, Q-factor is a dimensionless quantity. What is the […]
What happens if index of refraction is less than 1?
What happens if index of refraction is less than 1? Refractive indices less than 1 can occur and if the phase velocity of the light in the medium is faster than the speed of light. Negative refractive indices can occur if both the permittivity and permeability of the material are both negative at the same […]
What is the strongest bleach you can buy?
What is the strongest bleach you can buy? Clorox® Disinfecting Bleach Does vinegar clean as well as bleach? Regarding bleach working as well as vinegar, vinegar is NOT as effective as bleach and does NOT kill as many germs. Vinegar does kill some things but it is only 90% effective against bacteria and 80%-83% effective […]
Why shunt is used?
Why shunt is used? shunt is a device which allows electric current to pass around another point in the circuit by creating a low resistance path. A shunt (aka a current shunt resistor or an ammeter shunt) is a high precision resistor which can be used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. Why […]

How many types of consciousness are there?
How many types of consciousness are there? William Lycan, for example, argued in his book Consciousness and Experience that at least eight clearly distinct types of consciousness can be identified (organism consciousness; control consciousness; consciousness of; state/event consciousness; reportability; introspective consciousness; subjective consciousness; … What are the 2 kinds of awareness? This essay identifies two […]
What does dead animal give us?
What does dead animal give us? Carcasses not only provide food for carrion-eating animals. Their nutrients also increase the growth of surrounding plants, which attracts many herbivorous insects and their predators. Which animal eats dead human bodies from graves? Examples of carrion-eaters (or scavengers) include vultures, condors, hawks, eagles, hyenas, Virginia opossum, Tasmanian devils, coyotes […]
