What is Electromagnetism?
lectromagnetism is a process where a magnetic field is created by introducing the current in the conductor. When a conductor is electrically charged it generates magnetic lines. For example, if current i.e., positive charges move in a wire, it produces the magnetic field along the wire, and the direction of magnetic lines and force can…

What is Electromagnetic Force?
The electromagnetic force is a type of physical interaction that occurs between electrically charged particles. It acts between charged particles and is the combination of all magnetic and electrical forces. The electromagnetic force can be attractive or repulsive. Before the invention of electromagnetism, people or scientists used to think electricity and magnetism are two different topics. The…

Dispersion
It is a property of light, where the white light splits into its constituent colours. Dispersion can be observed in the form of a prism. The other properties of light include diffraction and interference. So, what do you observe when you look out at the beautiful scenario? Whether the light gets reflected, dispersed, refracted, internally reflected, or…

Refraction
The bending of light when it passes from one medium to another is called Refraction. This property of refraction is used in a number of devices like microscopes, magnifying lenses, corrective lenses, and so on. In this property, when the light is transmitted through a medium, polarization of electrons takes place which in turn reduces the…

Speed of light
The rate at which the light travels in free space is called the Speed of light. For example, light travels 30% slower in water when compared to vacuum.

Reflection
Reflection is one of the primary properties of light. Reflection is nothing but the images you see in the mirrors. Reflection is defined as the change in direction of light at an interface in-between two different media so that the wave-front returns into a medium from which it was originated. The typical examples for reflection of light include sound…

Light and Its Optical Properties
Light is a form of energy that is in the form of an electromagnetic wave and is almost everywhere around us. The visible light has wavelengths measuring between 400–700 nanometres. The Sun is the primary source of light by which plants utilize this to produce their energy. In physics, the term light also refers to electromagnetic radiation…

what is Optics
Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the determination of behaviour and the properties of light, along with its interactions with the matter and also with the instruments which are used to detect it. Optics, in a simple manner, is used to describe the behaviour of visible light, infrared light, and ultraviolet. Imaging…

Statistical Mechanics
This branch of statistical mechanics which treats and extends classical thermodynamics is known as statistical thermodynamics or equilibrium statistical mechanics. We apply statistical mechanics to solve real systems (a system for many particles). We can easily solve Schrodinger’s equation for 1 particle, atom or molecule. For many particles, the solution will take the form: total = linear…
