Laser ,Types and Use

Image
  LASER :-                    LASER is an acronym of  Light Amplification by stimulated emission of Radiation. It is an optical device which produces an intensive beam of highly coherent, Monochromatic light[ Electromagnetic radiation, especially visible radiation, of only one frequency or wavelength]. It can travel over great distance without spread.   LASER LIGHT :-                                   1. It is very different than normal light and contains only one specific wavelength of light.                                 2. A laser light has very tight beam and is very strong and concentrated.                                 3. A laser light can go to the moon and th...

Hydrogen Bomb, Thermonuclear weapon or Fusion weapon

Image
Hydrogen Bomb or Thermo-nuclear Weapon- It is the weapon working on the principle of nuclear fusion . A hydrogen bomb is a second-generation nuclear weapon which is more compact and a lower mass makes it very powerful than the first-generation atomic bomb. NOTE-  The first test of a fission (" atomic ")  bomb  released an amount of energy approximately equal to 20,000 tons of TNT (84 TJ). The first thermonuclear (" hydrogen ")  bomb  test released energy approximately equal to 10 million tons of TNT (42 PJ). - So the Hydrogen bomb is 1000 times powerful than an atomic nuclear fission based weapon. Modern fusion weapons consist essentially of two main components: a nuclear fission  primary stage (fueled by U-235 or Pu-239) and a separate nuclear fusion secondary stage containing thermonuclear fuel: the heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium(D2O)  and tritium(T2O) , or in modern weapons lithium deuteride(LiH) . For this reason, thermonuclear w...

Solar Cell and Solar Panel, Construction and Applications

What is a Solar Cell?                                                            - It is a device to convert solar energy into electrical energy . These cells are made from semiconductor like silicon, gallium, germanium. Solar cells are also known as photovoltaic cells . The efficiency of solar cells made from these materials is about 10-15%. The modern solar cells are made of selenium and have an efficiency of about 25%. The principal advantage of solar cells are that they have no moving parts, require little maintenance and work without the use of the focusing device. Another advantage is that they can be set up in remote and inaccessible places easily where power transmission is expensive.  Construction - To make a solar cell, thin layers (also called wafers ) of a semiconductor having impurities are arranged in such a mann...

The Dancing with the stars but they seem higher than they actually appear and Atmospheric Refraction

Image
The stars seem higher than they actually appear-  as the light from a star enters the earth's atmosphere, it undergoes atmospheric refraction and bends towards the normal at position each time. The upper layers of the atmosphere are rarer than that lower layers. The apparent position of the stars slightly different from its actual position. The star appears slightly higher (above) than its actual position when viewed near the horizon. What is Atmospheric Refraction?                           - Earth can be considered to have consisted of layers of different densities, which acts as a rarer or denser medium with respect to one other. the refraction of light due to these layers is called atmospheric refraction. Advance Sunrise and Delayed Sunset-   The sun is visible to us about two minutes before the actual sunrise, and about two minutes after the actual sunset. this is because of atmospheric refraction....
