The Thinning Veil: A Comprehensive Look at Ozone Depletion The Earth’s atmosphere is a delicate shield, protecting life from the harsh radiation of the sun. Within this shield lies the ozone layer, a crucial component that absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, preventing it from reaching the surface and causing widespread damage. However, this protective layer … Read more
The Role of Polar Stratospheric Clouds in Ozone Depletion: A Catalyst for Chemical Reactions The Earth’s ozone layer, located in the stratosphere, plays a crucial role in protecting life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. However, this protective shield has been facing a significant threat from human-induced chemical reactions, leading to … Read more
Moving Charge and Magnetism Magnetism is a phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, which results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects. A magnet is any piece of material that has the property of attracting iron (or steel). Magnetite, also known as lodestone, is a naturally occurring rock that is a magnet. This … Read more
Electromagnetic Wave Electromagnetic Wave are waves composed of undulating electrical fields and magnetic fields. The different kinds of electromagnetic waves, such as Light and radio waves, form the electromagnetic spectrum. All electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum, a speed expressed by the letter c (the speed of light) and equal to about … Read more
Electrostatic The basic principle of Electrostatics is based on the fact the electric charges attract or repel other charges depending on their relative signs and the law of force is given by Coulomb‘s law. Coulomb’s law states that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two point charges is directly proportional to the … Read more

Waves A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location.It is a disturbance or variation that transfers energy progressively from point to point. It may take the form of an elastic deformation, a variation of pressure, electric or magnetic intensity, electric potential, or temperature. When … Read more
Ozone (O3) is a molecule made up of three atoms of Oxygen (O), and is mostly found in the strato- sphere, where it protects us from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Although it represents only a tiny fraction of the Atmosphere, ozone is crucial for life on Earth. The stratospheric ozone layer forms a … Read more
