Introduction Energy is one of the major constituents of our normal livelihood. We built our civilized society on the basis of pure energy resources. As an introductory fact, Energy is still a complex equation which needs to be addressed. There exists no ultimate source of energy which we can tap into, so that it remains a big concern in front of us. Ultimately we need to find a source of clean and pure energy which can fuel our aspiring needs of  the future. One of the most promising and reliant sources is nuclear energy. Nuclear energy has been in  development for more than 80 years, From the era of the second world war. In 1945 when the US bombed Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki the world saw the destructive capabilities of nuclear energy. The basic concept of nuclear energy first came into picture when Albert Einstein gave his famous mass - energy equivalence equation.Even Though he knew that there exists a possibility of a clean energy source in them,he was backlashed by its use aga

Yo peeps! We are back again with The Tuesday Toast!!!  Get ready for some interesting physics facts! Give it a GO. Ever since the first Nobel Prizes were distributed, only one person has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics twice. The second Nobel Prize was awarded to this physicist for developing a theory which has important applications in Nuclear Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Name the person. Options:  Werner Heisenberg  John Bardeen  Marie Curie Edward Mills Purcell In 1889, King Oscar II of Sweden held a competition offering a prize to anyone who would be able to give a solution to the three-body problem. A French mathematician won the competition by proving that the results of such problems are random. This discovery also gave rise to a new field of research. Identify the winner of the prize and the new field of research.                Options:  Leonhard Euler - Euler's three body problem Lagrange- Lagrangian Point

 The TTT Team is here again to get you hyped up with some interesting physics trivia!!! 🤓🤓🤓 Buckle up and give it a go!!!🤩🤩🤩 1. Which was the first interstellar object discovered near earth? The object was first thought to be a comet.  However, it was later classified as an asteroid. Options:  Ceres Hygiea Borisov Oumuamua 2. Count Rumford in 1798 observed that the boring of cannons (drilling a hole in the muzzle) produces a large amount of X. By experiments based on the same phenomenon he was able to boil water. No explanation based on the then understood nature of X could explain the observations satisfactorily. It was then first realized that X is a form of Y and not a material substance. What are X and Y? Options:  X- Heat , Y- Energy X- Sound, Y - Energy X- Vibrations, Y- Energy X- Energy, Y- Heat   3. In this method of calculating pi, we throw random points on a square with an inner circle and calculate the fraction of points falling in the circle. Options:  Chudnovsk

Options :  Kutta- Joukowski Effect Carnoustie Effect Magnus Effect Windage 3. Which scientist noted that physicists could capture and examine an ion that changes its charge while travelling through a solid after it tunnelled through a target and then used the related theory to infer the electronic structure the ion had encountered during its journey. Options :  Max Planck Ernest Rutherford James Chadwick Neil Bohr 4. The Milky Way galaxy is classified as a large,_____  galaxy. Within this galaxy, our solar system (sun) is located

  We are back with This week's Tuesday Toast. Get ready physics enthusiasts to answer some of the interesting questions from this spectacular field of science!!! We present you episode 2 of Season 2: Marie Curie was accused of having an affair with this Physicist who is the assistant of her late husband. The man is known for his works in paramagnetism and diamagnetism. Curie was in danger of losing her second Nobel prize after rumours of their affair were circulated. Identify the man.  __ is a book written by a former chemical engineer at Solvay. In this book, the author writes about the encounter of Curie and Einstein at the famous Solvay Conference of 1911. The book narrates the story of Curie and how she overcame the gender prejudices during that era. It also mentions how the contribution of Mileva ( Einstein's first wife) to the theory of relativity was often overlooked and disregarded. Identify the book. The weight of an object is measured using a ________ whil
