What is Origin of life? What's the role of science in life and does science explains origin of life?

Can science explain the origin of life? A full scientific explanation for the origin of life doesn't currently exist, but research groups round the globe are tackling the mystery. Here we'll take a glance at a couple of of their discoveries. Darwin's theory of biological evolution tells us that each one life on Earth may have originated from one , relatively simple reproducing creature, living within the distant past. this concept is predicated on many observations one among which is that when living things reproduce children are often born with random new trairts. Those with negative new traits are less likely to survive and reproduce, those with positive new traits are more likely to survive and pass those traits on to their children. Over multiple generations positive traits build up allowing relatively simple life forms to evolve into complex life forms and even split into multiple different species. A careful check out the fossil record overwhelmingly confirms Darwin&#

p-n junction diode as rectifier

An electronic device which converts bidirectional current (AC current) to unidirectional current (DC current) is called a rectifier. The process is called as rectification.
There are two methods of rectification 1. Half wave rectifier. 2. Full wave rectifier.

Generally process is as follows
1. AC supply is connected to the primary coil of transformer.
2. Secondary coil is connected to the diode rectifier for conversion of the current.
3. Then a filter is connected to it , to remove the fluctuations in the current.
4. Last instrument used is a voltage regulator that provides the needed voltage of dc for the load.
5. The diagram below shows the correct representation of the points.



Half wave rectifier

Working of a half wave rectifier
  • Half wave rectifier, rectifies the alternative cycle of a AC current.
  • AC supply is connected to transformer and it is connected to the diode rectifier in series.
  • When high voltage flows through the rectifier it acts as forward biased and current passes.
  • Whereas as when low voltage gets to the diode rectifier it acts as reverse biased and stops the current.
  • Hence only the positive cycle of the sinusoidal AC current is converted to DC current.

How hyponotism works? Is it real?

Image
      Focus your eyes on this swinging watch. You're getting sleepy, very sleepy... And now, when I snap my fingers you will read this whole article. * SNAPS* You may have seen hypnotists make people nod off on command, quack sort of a duck, or maybe change personalities, like within the movie Office Space and these performances can make hypnosis seem pretty questionable to theaverage skeptical person. So, is there really that sort of power during a soothing voice and a swinging watch? Well, it seems that hypnosis is not just a celebration trick. There's scientific evidence that being hypnotized is feasible and might cause some real changes in your brain. Some psychologists even use it as a therapy to assist patients with a bunch of physical and mental conditions. So, hypnosis is probably real. Just not within the exaggerated brainwashing way you would possibly think. Different meditation techniques and trance like states are documented for thousands of y

How a Rainbow formation occur? Scientific reason for rainbow formation.

How a Rainbow formation occur? The phenomena of formation of a rainbow in the sky of 7 colors because of droplets in the air at a particular angle and place.            From coloring books to record covers, rainbows are everywhere. I bet you'll even remember the colours stupidly twice. Although in real life no one really says "indigo”, although I guess ROYGBV doesn't really have the same ring to it. As anyone who's tried to chase one finds out, a rainbow isn't really there. You can't go over it, and you can't get to the end of it. It’s become a mythical representation of the unattainable. In Navajo and Norwegian mythology, it’s a bridge that only gods could take between heaven and Earth. For Christians and Buddhists, rainbows area state of peace and forgiveness. And in some cultures, it is a really long and colorful unicorn. Of course, simply because a rainbow isn't there doesn't suggest we will not explain how it works. The better question is

 Maharashtra board(hsc) 12th  chemistry practical book answers pdf. Link of the 12th chemistry practical is at the bottom of the page. Hello  Welcome to oceanofsciencess.blogspot.com Here we try our best to provide you with all the quality content that is necessary for students and that is available to us. 12th chemistry practical book pdf. As there are exams 12th Maharashtra board in the coming few weeks colleges are asking to submit practical books of physics and chemistry to provide with admit card. Good news for all of us is that there is relaxation this year in the practical books we are not supposed to do all the experiments only few selected are to be done. I have completed the handbook for you all , you can directly copy the results of the chemistry practicals from the pdf that is being provided to you all This is my YouTube channel where I will be posting all study materials. https://youtu.be/wjvDD1mOEPo Sorry , for not arranging the pages in order but please bare with it and
