What is viscosity of a fluid or liquid?
Viscosity: A fluid in motion, can be considered as composed of many layers. If a fluid moves in steady flow over a static horizontal plane, the…
What is heat radiation?
Transmission of heat by radiation does not require any material medium. We can get both heat and light from the sun by radiation. In between…
Difference between Progressive Waves and Stationary Waves
Progressive waves transfer energy from one place to another, without transferring the matter. Stationary waves do not transfer energy from one place to another. Besides,…

If the periodic and oscillatory motion of a particle is such that, its acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position of…
State the conditions of interference of sound
Conditions of interference of sound are: The two sources should be co-herent i.e. they produce wave-trains of same frequency. The amplitude of the wave-trains must…
What is meant by interference of sound?
