In Nuclear Fission, neutrons collide with radioactive atoms (eg Uranium-235) in order to split the atom into two smaller atoms and releasing energy. The more n...

When light passes through a narrow gap it will diffract (spread out). This means the light reaching the screen could have come from anywhere w...

In the LHC protons are accelerated to almost the speed of light. They are contained in the circular accelerator by the 1232 superconducting dipole magnets. How strong does the magentic field need to b...

Sound waves have mass, as they are the longitudinal (along the path of the wave) vibration shockwave of molecule, while light waves do not, as they are the transverse displacement of just energy.

A particle with electric charge q, mass m and velocity v in a constant magnetic field B...
