How do humans use radiant energy? Heat created by the body can be radiant energy. A surface heated by the sun converts the energy of the light into infrared energy which is a form of radiant energy. Cell phones utilize radiant energy to function. Magnetic motor generators that utilize neodymium magnets create radiant energy. What […]

What does the 2 stand for in li2o? The ionic formula for Lithium Oxide is Li2O . This makes oxygen a O−2 anion. Ionic bonds form when the charges between the metal cation and non-metal anion are equal and opposite. This means that two Li+2 cations will balance with one O−2 anions. What is the […]

Why does the sky turn pink at sunset? Well when the sun sets, it is lower down and the light has further to travel. Light is made up of all different colours – that’s why we get rainbows. Blue light can’t travel very far so much of it ‘scatters’ out before it reaches us. But […]

What is an electron changing energy levels called? If an atom, ion, or molecule is at the lowest possible energy level, it and its electrons are said to be in the ground state. If it is at a higher energy level, it is said to be excited, or any electrons that have higher energy than […]

Is milk a Newtonian fluid? Newtonian fluids are those having a constant viscosity dependent on temperature but independent of the applied shear rate. Low-concentration liquids in general, such as whole milk and skim milk, may for practical purposes be characterized as Newtonian fluids. Is honey a non Newtonian? Honey is an example of a non-Newtonian […]

What kinds of sensory receptors are in the skin? The sensory receptors in the skin are: cutaneous mechanoreceptors. Ruffini’s end organ (skin stretch) End-bulbs of Krause (Cold) Meissner’s corpuscle (changes in texture, slow vibrations) Pacinian corpuscle (deep pressure, fast vibrations) thermoreceptor. nociceptors. chemoreceptors. What are the four general senses? The general senses are pain, temperature, […]

Would you rather questions list? 100 Would You Rather Questions Would you rather go into the past and meet your ancestors or go into the future and meet your great-great grandchildren? Would you rather have more time or more money? Would you rather have a rewind button or a pause button on your life? Would […]

Should you lean forward while skiing? You only need to lean forwards enough to put your centre of gravity over the middle of the ski. The reason that this has become a myth is that one of the most common mistakes made by people learning to ski, is that they lean back, and that instructors […]

Which acid is present in our stomach? hydrochloric acid Does hydrochloric acid turns red litmus blue? In the given question, first the blue litmus paper was dipped in hydrochloric acid solution. Thus, the litmus would turn red. Further, when dipped in sodium hydroxide solution, it changes back to blue. Thus, the correct answer is B. […]

What is the dimension of radiation intensity? Hence, the unit of intensity will be kgm2s−2m2s=kgm0s−3. Mass has the unit of kg, length has the unit of m and time has the unit of s. Therefore, the dimensional formula of intensity is [ML0T−3]. What is the dimension of radiation? In this work it is shown that […]
