Let us first understand what gravity is. Gavity also known as gravitation, is a phenomenon (not a force) of attraction of all the things that have mass-energy like planets, galaxies and light towards one another. What happens: when an object is freely Falling? Don't get confuse between gravity and Gravitational Force. They are separate terms. Gravity is a natural phenomenon. Whereas, Gravitational force is a force that is a measure of attraction. Gravity is the phenomena or cause of, why we are able to stand. Whereas gravitational force is responsible for our weight. If you go to moon then your weight becomes 1/6th of  the weight on earth. Gravity is the reason, why planets revolve around sun., and moons revolve around planets. It is the phenomena, which plays an important role in galaxy formation. Most of the galaxies have a black hole as their centre. Black hole have very large gravitational effect. Now from Newton's laws of motion , we know that ac

Many of you have an image of Sir Isaac Newton. You probably think Issac Newton as a person who contributed immensely in Physics through his laws of motion, gravitation which were the foundation of classical mechanics which we study today. Was Isaac Newton an alchemist? Or many of you think Isaac Newton as a mathematician who invented calculus(debatable). Or the person who proved the society wrong by proving that the light is made up of different colours, with his research on optics. But there is also an other side of his personality. He was heavily interested in alchemy and other occult practices. The world came to know this side of him by the unpublished papers written by him on these topics. Sir Isaac Newton was heavily involved in Alchemy . It is considered as an occult science. Alchemy is the medieval forerunner of chemistry, concerned with the transmutation of matter, in particular with attempts to convert base metals into gold or find a universal elixir. S

Dark Matter in a nutshell  Introduction  The matter in which the modern scientists are higly interested in is the Dark Matter. So, what is Dark Matter? How it was formed? Who suggested the idea of Dark matter? How much amount of it is in the universe? Does it interact with other particles? What is Baryonic Matter? Can we detect dark matter or has anyone detected it till now? Let find out. Also subscribe the blog for email notifications. What is Dark Matter? Dark matter is a type of matter. Dark matter is called Dark because it does not appear to interact with electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorbs, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiations, and is therefore difficult to detect. Primary Evidences The primary evidence comes from the calculations done after studying about different galaxies in the universe.It was observed that may of the galaxies would fly apart, not move as they move or even do not form until and unless they contain a large

BROWNIAN MOTION Introduction One of the most asked question is- what is Brownian Motion? Brownian motion was first observed in 1827 by Brown, a botanist. The phenomenon of Brownian movement can be easily observed in a laboratory if a colloidal solution is examined under and ultramicroscope. As the direction of illumination is perpendicular to the axis of the microscope, the suspended particles in the solution look like bright illuminated spots.  Is eliminated particles continuously move to and fro in a random haphazard way. The particles spin, rise, sink and rise again. The movement of the particles is continuous and spontaneous. This non-stop random and haphazard motion is perpetual and spontaneous.                  Click here for-  Our FACEBOOK PAGE So, what is Brownian Motion? This non-stop, random and haphazard motion is called Brownian Motion. According to Albert Einstein's theory of transitional Brownian Motion, the particles tend to diffuse into the

Quantum Mechanics #3 Black Body A perfectly black body is one which absorbs totally all the radiation of any wavelength which fall on it. As it neither reflects nor transmits any radiation, it appears black; whatever be the colour of incident radiation. The main characteristic of such a body is that when heated to a suitable high temperature, it emits full or total radiation. As it is a perfect absorber, it is also a perfect radiator, its emission being the greatest possible for every wavelength at any given temperature. BLACK BODY Black Body in Practice  In practice, a perfectly black body is not available. Lamp-black and Platinum black are the nearest approach to a black body. However, a body showing close approximation to a perfectly black body can be constructed. Black Body absorber                   Black body emitter A closed chamber, say a hollow sphere (known as hollow spherical cavity) whose inner surface is coated with platinum black or lamp

INTRODUCTION  The failure of classical mechanics led Planck(in 1900) to the discovery that radiation is emitted in quanta whose energy is E=hν. In 1901, Planck was able to derive an empirical formula to explain the experimentally observed distribution of energy in the spectrum of a black body, on the basis of his revolutionary hypothesis known as quantum theory of heat radiation. This was the  Origin of quantum Mechanics(click here) Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck According to this theory, the energy distribution is given by This realtion agrees (and hence completely fit) with the experimental curves obtained. This formula of distribution of energy with wavelengths, on the basis of his quantum concept, was deduced using following assumptions, which may be called as Planck's quantum postulates. PLANCK'S QUANTUM POSTULATES  1) A black body contains the atomic oscillators capable of vibrating with all possible frequencies. An oscillator of frequency ν can not have a
