Wire and Sheet Gauge Conversion Chart

Sheet sheet or wire thickness is specified by gauge. The table below shows the actual thickness of sheet steel and wire in millimeters and inches compared to gauge sizes. These dimensions vary slightly between different materials such as stainless steel and aluminum – but should be accurate enough for most everyday purposes.

How is the Speed of Light Measured?

We wake up in the morning and see the lights all around us. If the light was not reaching then I would not be able to see anything. All was dark. Again, if it happened suddenly the sun stopped shining. It means that if someone switches off a light, it will take 8 minutes for the people of the world to understand it. When we turn off the light it turns off immediately but when the sun stops shining why does it take 8 minutes to turn off? It takes…

Example of Quantum Physics in Daily Life

When we talk about quantum physics, the subject is, often, too isolated to discuss. We can talk about Einstein or Schrödinger. What else? The above point may be the end of the conversation involving quantum physics. If someone asks us about everyday life or real-life examples of quantum physics, most of us are completely unaware of it. Once you learn about the real-life applications of quantum physics, you may wonder if the same examples were right in front of you! Let’s start this article and take a closer look at…

Thermodynamics and Laws of Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature and their relationship to energy and work. Broadly speaking, thermodynamics deals with the transfer of energy from one system to another and from one form to another. The behavior of the above quantities is determined by the four laws of thermodynamics. The four laws of thermodynamics describe all the minute changes that occur as a body’s energy system changes, in addition to explaining the ability of an energy system to do some work around it. It was only…

12 Important Real-Life Examples of Radiation

In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at the important Real-Life Examples of Radiation. What is Radiation? Radiation is the emission and propagation of energy. It is not necessary, however, that radiation will be emitted only by radioactive materials. Radiation includes all forms of energy. It has been a part of the environment since time immemorial. No matter what we do or where we go, we cannot escape this form of energy. We are surrounded by many radioactive materials like floors, walls, and ceilings in our homes…

Newton’s Laws of Motion and its Applications in Real Life

Sir Isaac Newton made many contributions to mathematics and physics. He developed the theory of gravitation in 1666 when he was only 23 years old. In 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in “Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis”. Newton revolutionized science by developing his three laws of motion. Newton’s laws along with Kepler’s laws explained why planets move in elliptical orbits instead of circles. Let us discuss ‘Newton’s Laws of Motion and its applications in Real Life’ in detail: Newton’s First Law of Motion: Newton’s first law is known…

10 Simple Examples of Physics in Daily Life

On this “Living Planet” or Earth, many interesting events happen constantly. These events are happening all around us, which we see or do, or feel on a regular basis. At some point, your curiosity will prompt you to ask questions about what is going on. How is it, and how does it happen? Barring miracles, the answer to all these questions is “physics.” Indeed, physics governs our daily lives in one way or another. Let’s look at 10 examples of physics in daily life: (1) Headphones or Earphones We often…
