Length of an object can be defined as the distance of separation between any two points at the extreme ends of the object, it is considered as ‘distance’

From Work-Energy theorem, the kinetic energy of a moving body is equal to the work done by the external force that imparts the velocity to the body at rest. If ‘F’ is the force acting on the body, the work done by the force on the body in raising its velocity from v = 0 to v = ‘v’ is given by….

Centripetal force is an external force required to make a body move along a circular path with uniform speed.
When a body moves in a circle, its direction of motion at any instant is represented by a tangent at that instant. It is found that the direction of the moving body in a circle keeps changing continuously. But the magnitude of the velocity remains constant.

In 1928, Geiger and Muller in Germany developed a ‘Particle detector’ for measuring ‘ionizing radiation’. They named it ‘Geiger Muller Counter’. It has been one of the most widely used nuclear detectors in the early days of Nuclear physics. It is a gas filled counter that operates in the Geiger region. The main difference between ‘proportional counter’ and GEIGER-MULLER counter is that in the former, the avalanche is formed only at a point whereas it forms in the central wire in case of Geiger Muller Counter. The amplification does not therefore depend on the initial ionization produced by the ionizing particle.

The displacement of a particle is defined as the change in position of the particle in a particular direction and is given by a vector drawn from the particle’s initial position to its final position.
The length of the actual path between the initial and final positions of the particle is called the distance covered by it.Suppose that a particle is moving from point A to point B….

It is used for the measurement of the angle of rotation of optically active substance in solution. That is, angle through which the plane of the polarized light is rotated on passing through a specific length of solution of known concentration.
The experimental arrangement is shown if figure, S is source of monochromatic light placed at the focus of convex lens L. The beam, rendered parallel by lens L, falls on called polarizer P. After passing through polarizer P the light….

A dielectric is a material which contains no free electrons, so that no current can flow through them. As a result, the electrical conductivity of a dielectric is poor and for an ideal dielectric it comes out to be zero.
According to band theory of solids, a dielectric is a material in which the energy band gap between valence and conduction band is more 3 eV. Glass, plastic, mica etc. are examples of dielectrics. When a polar or non-polar molecule is placed in an external electric field….
