Light Waves Light travels as waves. Light waves don’t always require particles to travel through. They can also travel through outer space or a vacuum. Light waves travel in straight lines. You can detect them with your eyes and also with instruments such as camera. They are reflected by mirrors and change direction when they … Read more
What Is An Atom? An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties of an element. Every solid, liquid, gas and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. An atom is composed of two regions the nucleus which is in the center of the atom and contains protons … Read more
Frogs Frogs are a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura. Frogs are widely distributed ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest population is found in tropical rainforests. They are also one of the five diverse vertebrate orders.

Markovnikov Rule In organic chemistry, Markovnikov ‘s rule also referred to as Markownikoff’s rule describes the outcome of some addition reactions. The rule was formulated by Russian chemist Vladimir Markovnikov in 1870. The rule states that, with the addition of a Protic acid HX (X=Cl, Br, I) to an asymmetric alkene, the acid hydrogen (H) … Read more
DNA Polymerase I (Pol I) DNA polymerase I (or Pol I) is an enzyme that participates in the process of prokaryotic DNA replication. Discovered by Arthur Kornberg in 1956, it was the first known DNA polymerase (and the first known of any kind of polymerase). It was initially characterized in E. coli and is ubiquitous in prokaryotes. In E. coli and many other bacteria, the gene that encodes Pol I is known … Read more

Telescope A telescope is an optical instrument using lenses, curved mirrors or a combination of both to observe distant objects or various devices used to observe distant objects by their emission, absorption or reflection of electromagnetic radiation. A telescope objective is designed to capture light from something far away, so the light arriving is nearly … Read more
What Are P And NP Problem? Computer algorithms take a certain amount of time to solve the problem they are tasked with. Generally, you can roughly estimate how much time an algorithm will take using the number of elements they need to handle. Computer scientists call the number of elements N. Because some algorithms are more … Read more
