    Studying Engineering Physics or Physics?

    In India there is indeed no B.Engg degree, B.Tech degree is awarded for all the engineering subjects (like Computer science, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, chemical engineering etc.) and B.S or B.Sc for all the pure science subjects (like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics, Biology...

    Hypervalent Oxygen: Violating Rules & Reactions

    Is this really true ? Because I have never seen anything like this, rather i have seen this 2H2O = H3O+ + OH- Pls. Read the equal to as a reversible arrow.

    Energy dissipation in a travelling EM wave

    why a large mass is needed? How are electromagnetic waves affected by configuration of nearby masses or the gravitational potential at a point ?

    What is the relationship between electric potential and potential difference?

    Electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work one has to do to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. As potential is simply work done, it is a scalar quantity. So the electric potential difference is simply the difference of potentials of two points...

    Calculating frictional force given mass and coefficient?

    max static friction calculated as 1.118 Newtons is correct provided there is no vertical acceleration of the surface, and it is perfectly horizontal.
