FAMOUS LAWS AND PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE

FAMOUS LAWS AND PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE

Archimedes Principle : When a body is immersed either wholly or partially in a fluid at rest, the apparent loss of weight suffered by it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.

Avogadro's Law : Equal volumes of all gases under the conditions of  the same temperature and pressure have the same number of molecules.

Black Body Radiation : An object that absorbs all radiation falling on it, at all wavelengths, is called a black body. When a black body is at a uniform temperature, its emission has a characteristic frequency distribution that depends on the temperature.

Boyle's Law : At constant temperature ,the volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Charle's Law : At constant pressure ,the volume of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Coloumb's Law : The force between two electric charge is directly proportional to the product of charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Centrifugal Pseudoforce :pseudoforce on an object when it is moving in uniform circular motion. The "force" is directed outward from the center of motion.

Doppler's Principle : When the distance between the source of a wave and the observer increases due to relative motion between them,the frequency of the wave decreases and vice versa.

Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion :Kepler's three laws of planetary motion -- formed in the early 17th century -- describe how planets orbit the sun. The first law, sometimes called the law of orbits, states that planets orbit the sun elliptically. The second law, the law of areas, states that a line connecting a planet to the sun covers an equal area over equal periods of time. In other words, if you're measuring the area created by drawing a line from the Earth to the sun and tracking the Earth's movement over 30 days, the area will be the same no matter where the Earth is in its orbit when measurements begin.
The third one, the law of periods, allows us to establish a clear relationship between a planet's orbital period and its distance from the sun. Thanks to this law, we know that a planet relatively close to the sun, like Venus, has a far briefer orbital period than a distant planet, such as Neptune.

Pascals's Law :  First law- When pressure is applied to a liquid , the change in pressure is transmitted to every part of that liquid/fluid without any loss.Hydraulic machines work based on this law.
                           Second law-As the height increases ,atmospheric pressure decreases.

Ohm's Law : The current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to electric potential across the conductor.
15th Indian Census-2011

15th Indian Census-2011

The 15th Indian Census was conducted in two phases, house listing and population enumeration. House listing phase began on 1 April 2010 and involved collection of information about all buildings.The second population enumeration phase was conducted between 9 to 28 February 2011.The census in India has been conducted since 1872.In 2011, the first time biometric information was collected. According to the provisional reports released on 31 March 2011, the Indian population increased to 1.21 billion with a decadal growth of 17.64%. Adult literacy rate increased to 74.04% with a decadal growth of 9.21%. The motto of census 2011 was 'Our Census, Our future'.
Here, i am listing the conclusive data of 15th Indian census conducted in 2011.

  • Total Population     :  1210.19 million of which 623.7 million (51.54%) are males and 586.46 million (48.46%) are females.
  • Population Growth : Percentage growth in 2001-2011 is 17.64; males 17.19 and females 18.12. 
  • Density of Population:The density of population in the country has also increased from 325 in 2001 to 382 in 2011 in per sq km. 
  • Sex Ratio: The sex ratio of population in the country in 2011 stands at 943 female against 1000 males, which is 10 per cent more than the last census when the number female per thousand male stood at 933.
  • Literacy Rate  :Literacy rate in India in 2011 has increased by 8 per cent to 73 per cent in comparison to 64.8 per cent in 2001.
Some more facts:
  •  Five top performing states in terms of sex ratio were Kerala (1,084 females), Tamil Nadu (996), Andhra Pradesh (993), Chhattisgarh (991), Odisha (979).
  •  Haryana has the dubious distinction of having the worst male-female ratio among all states while Kerala fares the best.
  •  Bihar occupies the first position with a density of 1106, surpassing West Bengal which occupied the first position during 2001.
  • The minimum population density works out in Arunachal Pradesh (17) for both 2001 and 2011 Census.
  •  Improvement in female literacy is higher than males in all states and UTs, except Mizoram (where it is same in both males and females) during 2001-11.
