What kind of a wave is sound? These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. How ECHO is created? An echo is made by sound […]
What are 3 uses of beryllium?
What are 3 uses of beryllium? Beryllium is alloyed with copper or nickel to make springs, gyroscopes, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes and non-sparking tools, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry. Other beryllium alloys are used in high-speed aircrafts and missiles, as well as spacecraft and communication satellites. Why is beryllium so expensive? Beryllium is […]
What is the difference between absorption and reflection?
What is the difference between absorption and reflection? Reflection means that they are thrown back from a surface; absorption means that they are incorporated by a surface and transformed into heat energy. Different surfaces reflect and absorb differently. The ratio between absorption and reflection is called albedo. What is P in Beer’s law? Absorption takes […]
Is 1 degree Celsius cold or hot?
Is 1 degree Celsius cold or hot? In the Celsius scale there are 100 degrees between the freezing point and the boiling point of water compared to 180 degrees in the Fahrenheit scale. This means that 1 °C = 1.8 °F (check the section about temperature differences below). What is the coldest Fahrenheit temperature? The […]
What is the homogeneous product?
What is the homogeneous product? A homogeneous product is one that cannot be distinguished from competing products from different suppliers. In other words, the product has essentially the same physical characteristics and quality as similar products from other suppliers. One product can easily be substituted for the other. What is homogeneous and differentiated products? 1. […]

What is a sample space diagram?
What is a sample space diagram? A sample space diagram is a maths table showing all the possible outcomes or results of events. It is used for probability questions. For example, the sample space of flipping a coin is heads or tails! What is possibility diagram? A Probability Space Diagram, or Sample Space Diagram, shows […]
Which device is used to break a circuit?
Can atoms be broken down into smaller pieces?
Can atoms be broken down into smaller pieces? Under normal circumstances an atom can be broken down into any smaller particles, but we humans, have devised ways to break the atom apart. An atom itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. How many atoms are […]
What are the problems that cause and effects of ozone depletion?
What are the problems that cause and effects of ozone depletion? Effects of ozone depletion for humans and the environment Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth’s surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative effects include increases in certain types of skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders. How […]
