famous oil drop experiment

Oil and oil wastes enter rivers and other water bodies from different sources such as oil refineries, storage tanks, petro-chemical plants, industrial effluents, oil tanker spillage and automobile waste oil. Normal tanker operations and spillage fr..

Now, repeat the whole experiment with castor oil (half kg) in the same vessel. Let its initial temperature be Again heat it exactly for two minutes (so that same amount of heat is supplied to castor oil). Note its temperature as The experiment may be repeated..

To study the action of pepsin on proteins - Boil egg white in distilled water till a cloudy suspension is obtained. Cool it and divide the mixture into five equal portions in separate test-tubes. Label them A to E. Add different substances to each of the five tubes as shown in the table below and e..

Aristotle, the great ancient philosopher performed some experiments to study the speed of freely falling objects. He observed that when two bodies of different masses were dropped simultaneously from the same height, the heavier object reached the Earth's surface earlier than th..

Take a round strip of filter paper. Fold it into half, and then into quarter. Then open it in the form of a cone and place in a funnel and fix it to the funnel with the help of a few drops of water. Take a small quantity of the mixture of water and powdered chalk. Transfer it with the hel..

An experiment to show that the vertical and horizontal motions of a body are independent of each other Place two coins A and B near the edge of a table as shown in the figure. Simultaneously drop the coin A vertically and flick the coin B horizontally. After a while we will ..

In 1900, Max Planck presented the results of his famous black body radiation experiments, which showed that light has a dual character, behaving like a particle as well as a wave. He gave the Quantum Theory of Radiation explaining electromagnetic radiation and energ..

The phenomenon of electrolysis is an important chemical effect of electric current. In a metallic conductor, the electric current is due to the drifting of free electrons, there is no chemical or physical change, only the generation of heat. However, in ionic solutions (electrolytes), the electric ..
