RESONANCE

       


      Resonance is a very important physical phenomenon
     Imagine  a swinging pendulum.  A 99 cm long pendulum makes one oscillation every two second naturally.  If you push the pendulum every 2 second, it will oscillate with long swing.  Now, the frequency of external force (pushing) matches with pendulum's natural frequency.  Hence it oscillates vigorously.  We say, "Resonance" has occurred here.  Suppose, you push the pendulum every one second or three second, it will only disturb the natural motion of the pendulum and may dampen the pendulum's oscillations.
    The moon revolves around the earth in about a month.  In the same time, the moon spins about itself.  Here frequency of revolution and the frequency of the spin matches and resonance come into play.  That is why, the moon shows the same face to us always.

    We have heard, the opera singer breaking a wine glass just by singing.  If the singer's voice frequency and the glass cup's own frequency equals, the resonance will occur.  The wine glass may shatter.

      If light waves of same frequency superimpose, it will result in a intense light called LASER.

     A circuit of resistor, capacitor and inductor has its own electrical frequency, if the alternating current of same frequency is sent through the circuit, a maximum current will flow through the circuit.  The frequency is known as resonant frequency.  This idea is widely used in electronics.

      Today, MRI scans are widely used in hospitals.  MRI stand for nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging.  Main parts of the MRI are computer, powerful magnet, Radio frequency waves.

      Our body is mainly made up of water.  Water in turn contains Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms.  Hydrogen is just a proton (positive charge).  The power magnet aligns the positive protons.  The proton always spins.  If the spinning frequency matches the frequency of radio waves we send, resonance sets in and the protons spin violently.  The computer produces false colour images based on the resonance (not gone into details).  MRI is highly helpful in visualizing even minute details in the body. 

      you can find resonance everywhere in physics

      Note:  Man and woman marry and the resonance mostly occur .Than the marriage will succeed easily.  If one is extrovert, the spouse should also be one.  If man is broad minded in terms of finance, the wife should also embrace his trait.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
