The stability of a nucleus is measured along the same principle of physics that is applied elsewhere; the lesser the energy of a system, the more stable it is. That is, for a system to be stable, has to release some energy during its formation from its constituents.
Mirror Maze at Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago)Mirror Mazes are amazing. They produce intricate optical illusions of various grandeur. Irrespective of the complex structures they produce, all the mirror mazes are based on the simple Physics of geometrical optics, i.e. the laws of reflection. Two plane mirrors, inclined to each other at some angle,…
The Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) HQ and the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) both situated in Hyderabad communicated with each other as part of the test. The success of the test demonstrated the implementation of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) that makes communication far more secure than classical information technologies.
“Ad Astra Per Aspera” is a Latin proverb that means “To the Stars through hardship”.This is a series of articles intended to educate aspiring astronomers about observational and theoretical Astronomy. Our discussion will range from the basic unaided techniques to the frontiers of ongoing Astronomical research which will include fun Mathematics and Physics involved in…
This is an anecdotal account of the author describing the small and scientifically apparently insignificant moments that led the author to settle on a research career in Physics, specifically in Cosmology.When I was a kid, during the summer vacations, I would go to my granny’s place and enjoy life in the countryside for about a…
This tutorial is based on the previous lecture post. It is recommended that you go through the lecture post before continuing with the tutorial.Question:A uniform electric field of strength $E$ acts parallel to the positive Y-axis. A uniform magnetic field of strength $B$ acts parallel to the positive Z-axis. A particle of charge $q$ with…
This post is categorized as ‘Lecture’ because, even if it is based on a single problem, some important concepts of Physics are illustrated in this.Question:A uniform electric field of strength $E$ acts parallel to the positive Y-axis. A uniform magnetic field of strength $B$ acts parallel to the positive Z-axis. A particle of charge $q$…
This post is categorized as ‘Lecture’ because, even if it is based on a single problem, some important concepts of Physics are illustrated in this.Question:A bead of mass $m$ is embedded to a horizontal long massless thin wire such that the bead is free to move along the wire. The wire is made to rotate…
ThePhysicist was initially planned to be a Physics blog that aimed to provide everything in Physics to everyone in Physics. To achieve the vision, ThePhysicist has been expanded from the idea of being only a blog to a full fledged website with content and features for those who are interested in Physics, viz, enthusiasts, students…
