Harnessing the sun light and heat

2020 October 14

The radiant light and heat obtained from the sun is called solar energy. Solar energy uses captured sunlight to create photovoltaic power or concentrated solar power for solar heating. In 1839 a French physicist, A.E.Becquerel discovered photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon through which voltage and electric current is generated in a material upon exposure of light. Solar-powered photovoltaic panels convert the sun’s rays into electricity by electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. The noticeable advantages are that solar power is a renewable free and pollution free source of energy. OYLA gives a vivid idea on the uses of the renewable, inexhaustible and affordable form of solar energy.

The transitioned life of Inuit

2020 October 13

Inuit are a group of culturally similar indigenous people inhabiting the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, Alaska and Russia. Inuit were formerly addressed as Eskimos in Greenland but the term was replaced as Inuit by the Canadian government since it was considered disrespectful. The perception was that the word indicated barbarians, the eaters of raw meat and those who indulged in violence. They lived in Igloos but now most of them live in regular wooden houses. But till today Igloos are used occasionally when they go for hunting far from their home. Saltwater and fresh water fishes, mammals like polar bear are some of their main diets. Due to the extreme cold weather conditions they wear big furry boots with tunics and trousers over them. Allow OYLA to disclose about the Inuit language, their interesting culture and the transitions in their lives.

Boon and bane of screen time on children

2020 October 12

Internet and media have a great influence not only on adults but also on children. Screen time includes browsing, watching movies or videos and playing games. The kids these days gain immense knowledge and grasp vast ideas from surfing the internet. Playing games and learning from internet largely increases confidence, hand-eye coordination, creativity and teamwork in children. The internet is highly informative on almost any topic a person is inquisitive about. The research studies claim that children who use the internet are smarter and more sociable comparatively. Despite of agreeing that the internet makes the children smarter it is a known fact that there are high demerits that can affect the children badly. Children who spend too much time on internet, media, mobile or any kind of screen time risk the possibility of impair brain structure and function. It can also cause insomnia, obesity, mood swings and poor academic results. OYLA’s touch on this topic brings complete awareness on how a child can utilize the wonders of science through the internet wisely in an advisable screen time managed manager.

Heatless Glow

The brighter — the warmer? Life experience tells us that these two concepts are inseparable. however, the laws of chemistry refute this interdependence: matter can glow “cold,” with no heating at all. And what is most surprising — such phenomena occur literally everywhere. To illuminate a room, you can switch on a light bulb, but if you are in a dark grove, you will have to build a fire. The bigger the fire, the more light there is. You can also warm yourself up if the night is cold. In the morning, a natural light source will be back — the sun, heated up to 6000 K, giving Fluorite crystals can glow when heated — the process of thermoluminescence. Fluorite is a typical fluorescent mineral, but when it is warmed up or irradiated with ultraviolet light, it starts to phosphoresce. For matter to fl uoresce, an electron in its atom must reduce its energy, that is, move to a lower energy level, emitting the excess energy as a particle of light, a photon. But first, the electron absorbs energy and gets into an excited state. It stays there for a while and, at an arbitrary moment, jumps down, emitting a photon. There are many electrons, so photons are emitted almost at all times, and the substance glows continuously and gradually dies away while the number of excited electrons decreases.

An Antimatter Bomb

2020-07-03

Science

In Dan Browns novel Angels and Demons, villains steal a gram of antimatter from CERN and threaten to blow up Rome. Now we know that when a substance meets antimatter, both masses disappear, turning into radiation strictly according to Einsteins formula: E = mc2. As you can see, there is a monstrous magnitude in this formula — 300,000,000 metres per second, which is the speed of light, squared. This makes antimatter much more powerful than a thermonuclear bomb. Calculations show that the annihilation of that stolen gram of antimatter would be equivalent to 430 kilotonnes of TNT! More
