Albert Einstein Photon, also known as light quantum, is a tiny energy packet of electromagnetic radiation. This concept originated in Albert Einstein’s explanation of the photoelectric effect, in which he proposed the existence of discrete energy packets during the transmission of light. Albert Einstein was best known for his General and Special theory of relativity and the… Continue reading Albert Einstein

Derivation of Lens Formula
We know there are two types of lens: concave lens, and convex lens. These lenses are used as per the requirement and play an important role in the study of optics. Lens formula is a well-designed formula that is applicable for concave as well as convex lenses. The lens formula is used to find image… Continue reading Derivation of Lens Formula
Derivation Of Kinetic Energy
The kinetic energy of a body is the energy that it possessed due to its motion. Kinetic energy can be defined as the work needed to accelerate an object of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. The derivation of kinetic energy is one of the most common questions asked in the examination.… Continue reading Derivation Of Kinetic Energy
Derivation of Potential Energy
The derivation of potential energy is provided here. Potential energy is defined as the energy that is held by an object because of its position with respect to other objects. The SI unit of potential energy is joule whose symbol is J. Potential energy term was introduced by Scottish engineer and physicist William Rankine in the 19th… Continue reading Derivation of Potential Energy
Kinetic Gas Equation Derivation
What Is Kinetic Theory Of Gases? The kinetic theory of gases describes gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles such as atoms and molecules, all of which are in random and constant motion. The randomness arises from the particles collisions with each other and with the walls of the container. Derivation Of Kinetic Gas… Continue reading Kinetic Gas Equation Derivation
Derivation of Stoke`s Law
What is Stoke’s Law? Stoke’s Law is a mathematical equation that expresses the settling velocities of the small spherical particles in a fluid medium. The law is derived considering the forces acting on a particular particle as it sinks through the liquid column under the influence of gravity. The force that retards a sphere moving… Continue reading Derivation of Stoke`s Law
Unit of Mass
Before understanding the unit of mass it is very crucial for students to know what is mass. In simple terms, mass is the quantity of matter in an object. More significantly, it can be both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration when some amount of force is… Continue reading Unit of Mass
Unit of Time
Time is an interesting concept and we all are very familiar with it and know about it. However, the measurement of time requires some specification of units. There are several different units of time and they are used accordingly mostly based on certain circumstances. What Is Time? Time is defined as the continued progess of… Continue reading Unit of Time
Unit of Acceleration
Usually, if we notice any change in the velocity of an object, it is known to be accelerating. Thus, acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. Accelerations are vector quantities meaning they have magnitude and direction. So how do we measure acceleration or what is the unit… Continue reading Unit of Acceleration
Unit of Magnetic Flux
Magnetism is indeed a vast chapter for students with a lot of topics and concepts to cover. However, on this page, we will discuss the unit of magnetic flux. Well, in simple terms magnetic flux is defined as a measure of the strength of a magnetic field over a given area. It has the dimension mass… Continue reading Unit of Magnetic Flux
