How does a photon interacts with matter? In a pair-production interaction, the photon interacts with the nucleus in such a manner that its energy is converted into matter. The interaction produces a pair of particles, an electron and a positively charged positron. These two particles have the same mass, each equivalent to a rest mass […]
Why is energy released in a fission reaction?
Why is energy released in a fission reaction? Fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (such as uranium) – in two smaller nuclei. This process needs less energy to ‘bind’ them together – so energy is released. The larger nuclei again needs less energy to hold it together – so energy is released. What is […]
Does working out make you hot all the time?
How can we increase the strength of magnetic field of solenoid?
How can we increase the strength of magnetic field of solenoid? Strength of a Solenoid Adding more turns to the coil of wire increases the strength of the field. Increasing the amount of current flowing through the coil also increases the strength of the magnetic field. What is solenoid mention two ways to increase? Two […]
How do you activate the ciliary muscles?
How do you activate the ciliary muscles? Activation of the M3 muscarinic receptors, acetylcholine receptors that are formed by G-protein complexes, trigger the contraction of the ciliary muscle and reduce the diameter of the ciliary muscle ring. Contraction allows the zonular fibers to relax and the lens becomes more spherical to improve near vision. What […]

What is the relationship between orchids and fungi?
What is the relationship between orchids and fungi? Luckily for the orchid and the fungi, the symbiosis they share is a sweet one, mostly mutual. Orchid mycorrhiza is the symbiotic process wherein juvenile orchids rely on special fungal symbionts to supply them with carbohydrates and in exchange the fungi receive moisture and access to organic […]
What makes a fast race car?
What makes a fast race car? Racing cars are designed to go fast, and any vehicle travelling at high speeds must be able to both reduce air resistance and generate downforce in order to stay stable on the road. Every car is covered in a variety of wings, splitters and diffusers, which direct air over […]
What would happen without ozone layer?
What would happen without ozone layer? Without the Ozone layer in place, radiation from the sun would reach earth directly, damaging the DNA of plants and animals (Including humans). Skin cancer rates would be on the rise. (Source: NASA). Within days of the ozone layer’s disappearance, many plants would die. How can we solve the […]
