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

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

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

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

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
