What is B in a sine function? The value B is the number of cycles the graph completes in an interval of from 0 to 2π or 360º. The value B affects the period. The period of sine and cosine is. . When 0 < B < 1, the period of the function will be […]
How do we use refraction in everyday life?
How do we use refraction in everyday life? Refraction of light can be seen in many places in our everyday life. It makes objects under a water surface appear closer than they really are. It is what optical lenses are based on, allowing for instruments such as glasses, cameras, binoculars, microscopes, and the human eye. […]
Why the nucleus is very dense?
What was the first plane to break sound barrier?
What was the first plane to break sound barrier? Bell X-1 Did Spitfire break sound barrier? A Spitfire very nearly broke the sound barrier in 1944. In the 1930s a small number of aero-engineers recognized that the piston-engine and propeller were providing diminishing returns. For the aircraft to go supersonic the whole propeller would have […]
What if there is two medians?
Is geothermal a source of electricity?
Is geothermal a source of electricity? Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because heat is continuously produced inside the earth. People use geothermal heat for bathing, to heat buildings, and to generate electricity. Is geothermal energy harmful to humans? When done properly, yes. As with any industrial project there are risks involved, but when […]
Why there is a need for scientific knowledge in education?
Why there is a need for scientific knowledge in education? Problem-solving and critical thinking are two of the most important skills students learn in school. In this way, science is one of the most important subjects students study, because it gives them the critical thinking skills they need in every subject. What is the impact […]
Do electrons know they being observed?
Do electrons know they being observed? This process is sometimes referred to as decoherence. We also see phrases such as “wavefunction collapse”. By virtue of such an interaction of a quantum system with a classical measurement device, one could quite misleadingly assert that the electron “knows” it is being observed. It doesn’t. Why do wave […]
Is the bottom of the wave?
Is the bottom of the wave? The bottom of a wave is called the trough. The distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is the wavelength. What happens when a deep water wave starts to feel the bottom? As a deep-water wave reaches shore, at the point where the depth of the water […]
What materials can you use for magnetic particle inspection?
What materials can you use for magnetic particle inspection? Common metallic materials like nickel, iron, steel, and cobalt are all ferromagnetic and perfect candidates for magnetic particle testing. Where is magnetic particle testing used? Magnetic particle inspection is used for detecting defects (discontinuities in surfaces and shallow subsurfacaes) in ferromagnetic materials. By magnetization of the […]
