General Knowlegde: PHYSICS

Perhaps everyone know Einstein. Physics is the science that make you immortal. Personally I divide PHYSICS in two phases; Physics before Einstein and Physics after Einstein. General Knowledge of Physics is the study discipline everyone should know and understand. In competitive examinations like Bank PO, SSC, Railways, UPSC Exam, Scholarship Test, Admission Test etc  GK Questions are asked in PHYSICS. Here are general lessons in physics useful for writing selection test / admission test etc.

General Knowledge - Environmental Science

Environment Science in academics has emerged as a new discipline. Human race did massive damage to environment and now we need to take corrective measures to keep it healthy and habitable.  Everyone should know and learn about Environment. To measure your environmental awareness, in competitive examinations questions are asked. Here are lessons about Environmental Science useful for competitive examinations like UPSC Exam, Bank PO Exam, SSC Exam, Police Service Exam, Railway Recruitment Exam, Scholarship Test, and Admission Test Etc.

Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects. The atom is a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons.

Introduction to Chemistry

Chemistry is the systematic study of composition of matter and also the chemical and physical properties related to different material objects.

Lavoisier (1743-1793), a French Chemist is regarded as the Father of Modern Chemistry.

The Difference between living and non living

The word ‘living’ can not be defined in a single word or phrases. However, we can distinguish between livings from non living on the basis of following characteristics-

Growth- As time passes living shows growth as number of cells increases and results in increase in mass.

Reproduction- Living organisms produce other living organisms similar in physical characters and traits.

Genetics and Genetics Terminology

•    Genetics is the science of hereditary and variations in living organisms.
•    Gregor John Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.
•    His findings of Genetics are called Mendel’s Law.
•    Mendel summarized his findings in two laws: the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment.
