                                Light

Light is a form of energy. The main source of the light on the earth is the sun.

Light is the form of electromagnetic radiation with the wavelength that can be detected by the human eye.

Light is form of electromagnetic radiation that have both properties of waves and particles.  Light is the source of energy and this source of energy heat  the earth’s surface and its atmosphere.

The study of light is called as optics.

 

We are unable to any object in a dark room. But when light is glowing into the room, the object get visible. How it is possible ?  during a day, the sunlight helps us to see the objects. Any object reflects the light, when the sunlight falls on it. This reflected light is received by our eyes. And this makes eyes to see the object.

 

How shadow is made ?

Light seems to be travel in straight line. And a source of light makes a sharp shadow of the opaque object points to this straight  line path of light. It means, when the light is travel in straight line, shadows are created when the path of light is blocked. And more solid objects have a darker and wider shadow. And thinner object have lighter shadow. So we can say that when light strikes the any opaque objects it generates the a form of shadow.

When the light is transmitted through any object, we are able to see through the transparent object. it means that when the light passes through the transparent objects , the light passes entirely without generating any shadows.

 

How rainbow is made ?

A rainbow is created when the source of light is refracted in raindrops. This rain drops behaves as prism. And they refracted the light and we can see the color of the spectrum. The spectrum contains all of the wavelengths of the light that we can see. Each color has a different wavelength. When the wavelength has the shorter, then the light has more energy. When the light travel, the speed of the light does not depend upon the its energy. The rainbow shows the entire spectrum of the light.

 

The  properties of the light are given below:--

Intensity

Propagation – direction

Frequency

Polarization

Phase orbital angular momentum

 

Diffraction of the light

When a source of light is passed through the opaque objects, light has tendency to bend around it and do not pass through a straight line. This is called as diffraction of the light.

Diffraction of light is defined as the bending of the light wave around the edges of the opening or obstacles.  

Diffraction of light can be defined as the phenomena that occurs a wave or light is encountered an obstacles or opening.

METAL And Chemical Properties of metals

  METAL Metal is a element that has metallic bond and have positive ions or cations. Metal is a lattice of positive ions that are surrounded by the cloud of the electrons. In the pure state, metal have a shining surface. This properties are called metallic luster . Here, metals are generally hard. Metals are malleable, because they can be hammered into thin sheets. This property is called as malleability . Metals are ductile it means they can be drawn into wires. The ability of the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called as ductility . For example:--   gold is most ductile metal. Due to the properties of the ductility and malleability, metals can be given in different shapes as per their needs. Metals are opaque Metals are lustrous elements that are good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are denser than the other substances. Metals are good conductor of heat. For example :-- silver and copper. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. ...

Food chains and webs, Tropic levels

Food chains and webs   Food chain is the sequence of organisms in which nutrients and energy is transferred in the form of food from one organism to another organisms. Food chain is the possible pathway in which nutrients and energy is transferred through an ecosystem. A food chain is the linear network of links in which a food web is starting from producers organisms and is ending at decomposers.   A food chain shows a series or organisms taking part at various biotic level. Each steps or levels of the food chain forms a tropic level . The tropic level of an organisms is the position it occupies in a food web. Organisms in food chain are grouped into categories are known as trophic levels. Tropic levels are divided into various levels:--   Producers:--                      The producers or the autotrophs are the first trophic level.   All green plant...

Eco system

                            Eco system   Eco system is a complex relationship among all organisms such as plants , animals , microorganisms and the human beings and the physical surroundings. And they interact with each other and maintain a balance in environment. An ecosystem is a biological community   of interacting organisms   and their physical environment with non-living organisms form an ecosystem. Thus, an eco system consists of biotic and abiotic components A biotic   component comprising all living organisms. A abiotic components comprising physical factors like temperature, rainfall, wind soil, minerals, etc.   A garden is an eco system In a garden, when we go to the garden, we see that there is different types of plants like as grasses, trees, flower plants like rose jasmine, etc and animals like frogs...
