What color of light has the highest frequency? Violet waves What is the depression of light? Dispersion of light is caused by the change of speed of light ray (resulting in angle of deviation) of each wavelength by a different amount. Note: White light comprises of seven visible colours (VIBGYOR) whereas black (or dark) signifies […]

Did Einstein say we Cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them? The supposed Einstein quote from Skeptic reads “the world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems that we cannot solve at the level of thinking at which […]

What happens if you put a pencil in a glass of water? As you sight at the portion of the pencil that was submerged in the water, light travels from water to air (or from water to glass to air). This light ray changes medium and subsequently undergoes refraction. As a result, the image of […]

Does your weight change in an elevator? When the elevator is moving, we will weigh our normal weight. Since we are already moving at the same speed as the elevator (up or down), nothing is affecting us to change our weight. However, when the elevator starts to go or stops, our body resists it. The […]

How do you add two vectors using their components? Again, the component method of addition can be summarized this way: Using trigonometry, find the x-component and the y-component for each vector. Add up both x-components, (one from each vector), to get the x-component of the total. Add up both y-components, (one from each vector), to […]

Is there gravity in a vacuum? In a vacuum, gravity causes all objects to fall at the same rate. The mass of the object does not matter. If a person drops a hammer and a feather, air will make the feather fall more slowly. But if there were no air, they would fall at the […]

What can affect a compass reading? Metal that has a lot of iron in it’known as ferrous metal?can impact a compass. A large object such as a car or tower can draw the magnetized needle, making a precise reading difficult to secure. Even soil with a lot of iron in it can tweak your results. […]
