Amwoga Khalwale What Is A Two Dimensional (2D) Shape? A two-dimensional shape can be described as a flat plane figure or a shape that has length and width but no depth. Two-dimensional or 2-D shapes do not have any thickness and can be measured in only two faces. Examples of two-dimensional shapes: Circle Square Triangle Rhombus Rectangle … Read more
Continue Statement The continue statement is used for the termination of the current iteration and not the whole loop. The continue statement can include an option optional label that allows the program to jump to the next iteration of a labeled loop statement instead of the current loop. In case, the continue statement needs to … Read more
Hyperbola A hyperbola is a conic section formed by intersecting a right circular cone with a plane at an angle such that both halves of the cone are intersected. This intersection produces two separate unbounded curves that are mirror images of each other. In other words, a hyperbola is a conic section formed by the … Read more
Specular/Regular Reflection In regular reflection, all the light that falls on the reflecting surface is reflected in a definite direction. It is produced on smooth surfaces like mirror, highly polished surfaces. Regular reflection can appear much brighter than diffuse reflections when seen from a large distance, because the reflected light is concentrated in a definite … Read more
Purines and Pyrimidines are two types of nitrogenous bases found as the building blocks of nucleic acid of both DNA and RNA. Equal amounts of purines and Pyrimidines are found in cells. Both purines and Pyrimidines are heterocyclic, aromatic organic compounds which are involved in the synthesis of proteins and starch, regulation of enzymes and … Read more
What Is Diamond? Diamond is a rare, naturally occurring mineral composed of carbon. It is a mineral composed of pure carbon. Each carbon atom in a diamond is surrounded by four other carbon atoms and connected to them by strong covalent bonds. This arrangement holds the atoms firmly in place and makes diamond an exceptionally … Read more
Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through Earth’s layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, magma movement, large landslides and large man-made explosions that give out low-frequency acoustic energy. The propagation velocity of seismic waves depends on density and elasticity of the medium as well as the type of wave. Velocity tends to increase with depth through Earth’s crust and mantle, but drops sharply going from the mantle to outer core. … Read more
What Is Anaconda Programming? Anaconda is a free and open source distribution of the Python and R programming languages and it is used in data science, machine learning, predictive analytics, large-scale data processing and deep learning-related applications aiming to simplify package management and deployment. Anaconda is developed and maintained by Anaconda Inc (Continuum Analytics), which … Read more
What Is Real Image? A real image can be described as the image produced by the reflection or refraction when the light rays arising from the object converge at a point before a mirror or lens. A real image can be projected onto the screen. Examples of real images include the image seen on a … Read more
A person’s eye color depends on how much of a pigment called melanin is stored in the front layers of the iris, the structure surrounding the pupil. Specialized cells called melanocytes produce the melanin, which is stored in intracellular compartment called melanosomes. People have roughly the same number of melanocytes, but the amount of melanin … Read more
