Nuclide, Isotopes, Isobars & Isotones

Nuclide:  A Nuclide is a particular nucleus characterized by a defined atomic number and mass number. There are particular types of Nuclides. They are: ·          Isotopes ·          Isobars ·          Isotones Isotopes: The atoms having same atomic number but different atomic mass number are called Isotope. Isobar:  Nuclides having the same mass number but having the different Proton/Atomic number are called Isobar.   Isotones: Atoms of different elements having different mass number and different atomic number but same neutron number are called Isotones.

Brewster’s Law of Polarization of Light

Image
Brewster’s Law: In 1811 Brewster’s proposed it . When   Un-polarized   light is incident at the angle called Brewster’s angle or angle of polarization , the light that is reflected from the surface is therefore perfectly polarized . He was able to prove that the tangent of the angle of polarization is numerically equal to the refractive index of the medium. That is....
