Kinetic: The PhyMath Quiz (Week 5)

This is going to be a weekly quiz on topics from Science and Mathematics. Every week, we will upload 5 questions. The answers to those questions will be uploaded in a week. You can try and answer them in the comments section and later match your answers with the correct ones. While answering questions, try and also mention your name, if not via an account, then at the end of your comment. Answers without names will be removed. Set 5: 1) An entity X is common between the Nobel prize winners for electron tunneling in semiconductors, the scanning tunneling microscope, and the research on superconductivity. Furthermore, X has a youtube video which is the world's "smallest" movie.  X is more than a century old.  Identify X. (Question by Deepanshu, I Physics) 2) Physicist X who started out by studying electrical engineering had his colleagues jokingly name X as a unit which meant one word per hour , due to his shy nature. He once said that he owed a lot to his engineering...

MEASURING QUANTITIES - units, SI units and recent accomplishments.

  Early on in our history on Earth, we humans realized the importance of measuring quantities. This happened much before scientists needed to measure things accurately to be able to develop our understanding of the world. It was important even in daily life. To get paid for the wheat a farmer produced, it needed to be weighed. How heavy is the produce? - Mass . How far is that lake? - Distance or Length . How much time would it take for the enemy army to attack us based on their current location? - Time . The answers to these questions were much more a necessity than curiosity. So, we learned to count and measure, albeit differently in different areas. But the idea everywhere was the same - the need to know quantities in numbers. After this the idea of units is easily understood. Example: if one wants to know the length of a piece of clothing, just measure it with respect to something. Call that something one ‘unit’ of length. Like measure it with the span of your hand and say it's...

Kinetic: The PhyMath Quiz (Week 1)

This is going to be a weekly quiz on topics from Science and Mathematics. Every week, we will upload 5 questions. The answers to those questions will be uploaded in a week. You can try and answer them in the comments section and later match your answers with the correct ones. Beginning with the first set: 1) The following excerpt is taken from the article written on the famous physicist and mathematician X, who died recently in February 2020. "When today’s younger scientists asked X how it felt to be a physicist at the Institute in 1948, in those halcyon days when giants like Y and Z roamed the grounds, he had great pleasure telling them he wasn’t impressed at all by the famous men. Y rarely came to seminars, only when his friend Max von Laue visited, and Z did little physics. No, his young colleagues inspired him the most." Here, Y is known for his simplistic approach to teaching and writing papers immortalised in his quote 'if you can't explain it ...
