The Photoelectric Effect - When light of sufficiently small wavelength is incident on a metal surface, electrons are ejected from the metal. This phenomenon is called as 'photoelectric effect' and the ejected electrons are called as 'photoelectrons..

When we look at a glass of still water on the table, it seems incredible that millions of molecules are moving about restlessly inside it. A British botanist called Robert Brown, however, discovered evidence of this movement over 200 years ago. He was observing through a microscope some very tiny ..

Wave Nature of Particles - The suggestion that matter may have wave like properties was first put forwarded in 1924-1925 by Louis De Broglie. He argued that if light, which consists of waves according to classical picture, can sometimes behave like particles, then it should be p..

Introduction - The first magnetic phenomenon observed were those associated with naturally occurring magnets, fragments of iron ore found near the ancient city of Magnesia. These attracted unmagnetised iron. The attraction was maximum at certain regions of the magnet called the pole..

Physics is a branch of science that deals with the nature and natural phenomena. The study of physics finds great importance in our day-to-day life. The laws, formulae and calculations of physics are not merely things to be remembered from t..

Introduction - It is a matter of common experience that the objects inside a dark room, which are invisible, become visible when the room is illuminated by a source of light. Thus light can be defined as the external cause responsible for the sensation of vision. The branch of Physic..
