CLOUDS APPEAR WHITE, WHY?

Cloud appears white due to the phenomena of scattering of white light. The water particles in the cloud are big in size as compared to air molecules and wavelength of light. Hence all the colours get scattered in equal intensity and mixture of all colours gives white light. This white light reaches our eyes giving the impression that colour of a cloud is white.

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE , VELOCITY RATIO

Which is always constant for a machine of given design: MA or VR ? Ans: VR remains constant for a machine of given design as it depends on the distances moved by the load and effort but MA can vary due to the friction developed between the moving parts of the machine.

What is Regelation?

The melting point of ice is 0°C at normal pressure but when you increase the pressure on ice it melts at the temperature below 0°C( i.e. melting point of ice decreases with pressure). When the pressure applied is released then water formed from ice starts freezing. This phenomenon is called REGELATION.
