⚫ So , What is an Echo ?

You must have visited an echo point at a hill station . If you shout loudly at such a point , you hear the same sound just after a little while . This sound is an echo .


An echo is the repetition of the original sound because of the reflection by some surfaces .

In order to be able to hear the original sound and its reflection distinctly , at 22°C .

⚫ What must the minimum distance be between the source and the reflecting surface ? 

At 22°C , the velocity of sound in air is 344 m/s . Our brain retains a sound for 0.1 s after starting from the source to get reflected and come back to us . 
Thus , we can determine the minimum distance between the source and the reflecting surface .

Distance =  Speed  ×  Time .
                =  344  m/s   ×   0.1 sec
                =  34.4 m .

Thus , to be able to hear a distinct echo , the reflecting surface should be at a minimum distance of half of 34.4 m  that is  17.2 meters .
As , Velocity of sound depends on the temperature of air , this distance depends on temperature .


Echo can be heard multiple times due to continuous or multiple reflections . The golghumat at Vijapur in Karnataka is an excellent example of an Echo ...

Co-ordination in Plants

      🌳    Co-ordination in Plants   🌳 Plants do not have systems like the nervous system or muscular system of animals .  Then , how do plants bring about movements ?  In plants , movements are mainly in the form of responses given to the stimuli . Movement or growth of any part of the plant in response to an external stimulus is called 'tropism' or 'tropic movements' . The shoot system of any plant responds to the light stimulus that is it grows towards the source of the light . The movements shown by plants towards the source of the light is called 'Phototropic Movement' . The root system of plants responds to stimuli like gravitation and water .  These responses are called 'gravitropic movements' and 'hydrotropic movement' resectively . Movement shown by plants in response to specific chemicals is called 'chemotropic movements' .  For example , the growth of the pollen tube towards the ovule . All the above - menti...

             ✊    Acupressure Points  👊 Our Body is full of a Complex System in that we have muscles , bones , blood and nerves , tissues . Our internal body parts are involuntary , and our external body parts are voluntary . We can't do exercise of our internal organs like brain , heart , liver , stomach , lungs , throats , hormonal glands and most of the internal organs . So we can do exercise by the connection of the nervous system by acupuncture the hands and legs and many other external parts . See this image for exercising internal organs  :-  By Acupuncturing all of the whole hand our internal exercise will be well done going on . Please do this for healthy health ....👍

Sonography

Sonography   What is Sonography ?  Sonography technology uses ultrasonic sound waves to generate images of internal organs of human body . This is useful in finding out the cause of swelling , infection , pain , etc . The condition of the heart , the state of the heart after a heart a heart attack as well as the growth of foetus inside the womb of a pregnant women are studied using this technique . This technique makes use of a probe and a gel . The gel is used to make proper contact between the skin and the probe so that the full capacity of the ultrasonic sound can be utilized . The gel is perfectly applied to the skin outside the internal organ to be studied . High frequency ultrasonic sound is transmitted inside the body with the help of the probe . The sound reflected from the internal organ is again collected by the probe and fed to a computer which generates the images of the internal organ . As , this method is painless , it is increasingly u...
