Physics Symbols

What is the Importance of Physics Symbols?

In Physics, different symbols or documentations are utilized to mean various amounts. The indications make the portrayal of the amounts simpler. In this page, probably the most well known physics symbols are referenced. Let us assume that a lady drives her car at a speed of 30 kmph and reaches her hometown in 2 hrs and if she drives at 50 kmph, she reaches in 1.5 hr. So, if we have to represent these units as symbols, how can we do that?

Symbols used for physical quantities are vastly different. Sometimes, the symbol may be the first letter of the physical quantities they represent, like ‘d’, which stands for distance. Other times, they may be completely unrelated to the name of the physical quantities, such as c symbolises the speed of light.

Here this post contains Short Question and Answers of Chapter 12: "Geometrical Optics". Learn these question answers and other related stuff for exam preparation. 

Geometrical optics is a branch of optics where light is described by rays. Light rays are conceived as geometrical lines originating from sources, extending through media, and being revealed by detectors; their directions account for paths along which light flows.

Here this post contains Short Question and Answers of Chapter 11: "Sound". Learn these question answers and other related stuff for exam preparation. 

A sound is a type of energy, very much like power, intensity or light. Sound is one of the significant feelings of the human body. A few sounds are wonderful, and some are irritating. We are exposed to different kinds of sound all time. Sound is a vibration that spreads as an acoustic wave, through a transmission medium

Ch-10: Simple Harmonic Motion and Waves

Here this post contains Short Question and Answers of Chapter 10 - Physics "Simple Harmonic Motion and Waves". Learn these question answers and other related stuff for exam preparation.

Simple Harmonic Motion or SHM can be defined as a motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position. Understand SHM along with its types, equations and more.

Benefits of Technology

Benefits of Technology

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. Nowadays, technology is important for us as we are live in a globalization. Everyone use any technology to make their life easier. Thus, many engineers try hard to produce a new brand and high quality machines and tools. As we can see, kids, teenagers, and adults spend their time with technology. We depend too much with it as technology is our soul. We use technology to accomplish various tasks in our daily lives.
