FIREWORKS:Science behind the Lighting Up of The Sky

INTRODUCTION  While looking up at the night sky on festive occasions,the brilliant flashes of color,sparkling trails and booming sounds of fireworks mostly feels like pure magic. Have we ever thought that behind this spectacle lies a fascinating interplay of chemistry and physics. Each and every crackle,burst and hue are meticulously engineered which rely on principles that chemists and pyrotechnicians have refined for centuries. In this blog post,we will look into the chemistry of fireworks by knowing about their working,about their dazzling colors and the science which ensures both beauty and safety. Sup HISTORY OF FIREWORKS  The origin of fireworks can be traced back around 7th century in ancient China where early pyrotechnicians developed crackers using bamboo sticks filled with gunpowder. Initially, they were used to scare away evil spirits during festivals. Over the period of time,the art spread across Asia,Middle East and eventually Europe wher...

TIME DILATION

INTRODUCTION  When thinking about time,a steady picture of an invisible river flowing forward at the same rate everywhere in the universe comes to our mind but Time doesn't Tick the Same for Everyone. As we know ,that time is measured with clocks,calendars and ticking of our heartbeat so it feels absolute. But as per the observation of modern physics all these pictures are just an illusion. Time is not an universal entity rather it bends,stretches and flows in different direction depending on your presence and how fast or slow is your movement.  Sup Such a strange behavior of time is called time dilation,a concept which emerged from the Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. While it sounds like a science fiction but time dilation is not just a mere theory but a measurable reality which affects astronauts, satellites and even the GPS of your phone.  In this blog post,we will look into this fascinating theory of time dilation by knowing about its working,meaning and why...

ASTROPHYSICS

INTRODUCTION  The Astronomical branch which deals with the physical properties of celestial objects and phenomena is known as Astrophysics. To understand the behavior and evolution of the universe,it applies principles from physics and astronomy.  In this blog post, we will explore the world of Astrophysics by knowing about its branches,phenomena ,methods of research, importance, applications and challenges faced by this branch. WHAT IS ASTROPHYSICS  A multidisciplinary field which combines the concepts from physics,astronomy and mathematics for studying the behavior and evolution of the universe is known as Astrophysics. The Physicist of this field are known as astrophysicist and they use a wide range of techniques which includes observations, experiments and theoretical models for understanding the behavior of celestial objects and phenomena.  BRANCHES OF ASTROPHYSICS  It is a very vast field which encompasses various branches which are...

A Clattering Journey:SOUND

INTRODUCTION  Our daily lives are greatly influenced by the sound we hear as it affects our emotions,behaviors and perceptions. It also has the power to shape our experiences and interactions as in the sounds of nature can be soothing while the beats of music can be energizing. We are totally unaware of the fact that sound plays an essential role in our lives. It is all around or we can say it constantly fills our environment with different range of frequencies, amplitude and textures. Each and every sound like that of chirping of birds,the human of machines, the chatter of people and wail of sirens conveys their own unique message and emotional resonance. It even has the power to evoke our emotions and trigger memories, for example music can energize us,calm us or inspire us to move our bodies while nature sounds such as ocean waves or forest noises can be calming. On the other hand loud and jarring sounds can be painful and stressful.  Sound is a complex phenomen...

Mechanics of Automobiles

INTRODUCTION  The inception of the automobile industry began in 19th century and from the early days of horseless carriages to the modern electric and autonomous vehicles of today's age,the automobiles have undergone many significant transformations over the course of years. To define the automobiles we can state that they are the complex machines which rely on multiple systems and constituents to ensure that the vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently. The major key components of an automobile are engine,transmission, brake and suspension system and the most important component required is fuel as the above mentioned key components can only work with the support provided by the fuel.  In this blog post, we will discuss about the past,present and future of the automobiles along with its mechanisms. Also,the benefits of the vehicles can't be overlooked and with several benefits there are many challenges too which this industry faces. A Brief History of Automobiles...

A Reliable Source of Electricity

INTRODUCTION  In our modern world, electricity plays a crucial role to support our daily lives. Our homes,businesses and critical infrastructure are powered by the electricity due to which it has now become a vital component of our lifestyle. However, due to natural disasters, grid failures or maintenance, power outages can occur and may hinder our daily activities. This is where generators come into play as they become the reliable source of electricity when needed the most. In this blog post,we will discuss about this reliable source of electricity that is generators along with its types,benefits and applications.  WHAT IS A GENERATOR? A device which can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy is known as a Generator. The principle on which it works is known as electromagnetic induction in which a magnetic field is used to induce an electric current in the conductor. A generator can be powered by several sources like diesel, gasoline,natural gas or renew...
