What type of object a chair a painting and a shoe are? Objects like a chair, a painting, or a shoe do not have their own light. We see these when light from a luminous object (like the Sun, a torch, or an electric light) falls on these and then travels towards our eye. Why […]

How many different types of batteries are there? three types What is the main function of a battery? A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The […]

What is photosynthesis answer in one line? Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some microorganisms make substances like carbohydrates. It is an endothermic (takes in heat) chemical process that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into sugars. The sugars are used by the cell as energy, and to build other kinds of molecules. […]

What is the correct pathway for vision? The visual pathway consists of the retina, optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts, lateral geniculate bodies, optic radiations, and visual cortex. The pathway is, effectively, part of the central nervous system because the retinae have their embryological origins in extensions of the diencephalon. Which controls the amount of […]

What are the factors affecting the height of the waves? Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or […]

What material expands the most when heated? By contrast, iron, with a coefficient of 1.2, is 24 times more likely to expand or contract as a result of changes in temperature. (Steel has the same value as iron.) The coefficient for aluminum is 2.4, twice that of iron or steel. Which state of matter contracts […]

Is pitch and note the same? Pitch is the high or low frequency of a sound. When you sing, you create pitch because your vocal cords vibrate at a certain speed. Notes are musical symbols that indicate the location of a pitch. Tone is the color or timbre of pitch. Can a sound have no […]

What are the three ways in which heat can flow from one object to another? Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, by convection, and by radiation. Conduction is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. Convection is the movement of heat by a fluid such as water […]

What is the study of matter and energy called? Chemistry and Physics Chemistry is the study of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and molecules. For example, the synthetic fibers in the swimmer’s suit were created in labs by chemists. Physics is the study of matter and energy at all scales—from the tiniest […]

Is Bangladesh in Pakistan or India? Pakistan and Bangladesh are two separate and independent countries physically divided by India. Historically, this was not always the case: from 1947 to 1971 they were administered under the same government. The two countries share a number of attributes. How are rivers important to the peoples of Pakistan and […]
