For example- air, water, wood, are all matter
...
a
...
On the basis of intermolecular forces
...
It means solids have the tendency to maintain their shapes
when subjected to outside forces
...
In what way then the gas differs from liquid? It is compressibility
...
Due to this property we can fill more and more gas into the tyres, which increases only slightly in volume
...
In physics chemistry and biology the stable neighbouring particles (atoms, molecules
or ions) attract each other by a force termed as intermolecular forces
...
In case of solids these forces are strong enough to
keep the particles together and therefore solids have a particular shape
...
These are SOLID, LIQUID, GAS,
PLASMA and BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATE
...
SOLID-
a
...
c
...
Retains its own shape and volume (it is rigid)
...
The intermolecular forces are very strong and prevent them from moving
...
Common crystals are igneous rock, diamond and table
salt
...
A crystal is a solid where atoms form a periodic
arrangement
...
Q – What are quasicrystals?
Answer- As explained above, in crystals particles whose constituents
are atoms, molecule and ions are arranged in a definite geometrical shape
( a triangle, pentagon triangle, octahedral) in regularly repeating and
ordered pattern
...
Since pentagon shaped, molecules cannot fit into each other nature has added other atomic shape into the gap
...
Uses of quasicrystal
a
...
They are thermally stable, hence used in non-stick cookware
...

...
b
...
d
...
It is incompressible
...
It diffuses slowly
...
GAS
1
a
...
c
...
It assumes volume and shape of container
...
The diffusion of gas occurs rapidly (diffusion is the property of molecules to spread
simply from higher concentration to lower concentration
...
It flows readily
...
Plasma
Plasma is the ionic state of gas in which electrons are removed away from their shell by
applying high temperature or high voltage difference
...
Unlike gas, plasma are electrically conductive and produce
electric current
...
Lightning,

...
In a BEC, matter stops behaving as independent particles, and collapses
into a single quantum state that can be described with a single, uniform wave function
...
It may occur when atoms have very similar (or the same)
quantum levels, at temperatures very close to absolute zero (−273
...
Non classical states of matter are
1
...
Glass – glass is a non crystalline or amorphous solid that exhibits the solid transition toward liquid state
...
They are used in making liquid crystals screens
...
But, for a scientist all these things are actually mixtures of
different substances and hence not pure
...
When a
scientist says that
Something is pure, it means that all the constituent particles of that substance are the same in their chemical nature
...
Only elements are pure while compounds, mixture (solution
and colloids) and alloys of metal are impure (it means it contains more than one type of particles)
...
Element
Element is the basic form of matter which cannot be broken into simpler type of matter by either
physical or chemical means
...
c) An element consists of only one kind of atoms
...
d) There are total 118 elements out of which 92 are found in nature 11 are gases and 2 are liquid at room
temperature
...
e) All the elements are represented in the periodic table
...
Compounds are substances in which two or more elements combine with one another in definite
proportion by mass
...
3
...
For
example air is the mixture of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon etc
...
Lemonade, soda water etc
...
Solution can be of a solid, liquid or a gas
...
For example, lemonade tastes the same throughout
...
WHAT IS A COLLOIDAL SOLUTION?
A colloidal solution is a heterogeneous mixture, for example, milk
...
But, these particles can easily scatter a beam of visible light
...
Common examples of colloids
Fog, Clouds, Mist, Face Cream, Mud, Jelly, Cheese, Butter

e
...
The modern periodic table attempts to arrange all 118 elements in order
of increasing atomic number
...
Group shows similar properties because of similar outer electronic configuration
...
A gradation of properties owing to gradually varying attraction between the nucleus and outer valence
electrons as we go down the group
...
2
...
Hydrogen (1st element) is the lightest
element while ununoctium (118th element) is the heaviest element
...
a
...
There are seven periods
...
Lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon constitute the
second period
...
The elements of second and third
periods have respectively 2 ( K and L) and 3 ( K, L and M) shells and so on
...
Groups-
Groups are the verticals column in periodic table
...
Elements in a group have same number
of valence electrons
...
This is
4
why elements in any given group have similar properties
...
Elements of group 1
...
This single valence electron is easily lost when
requisite amount of energy is supplied to form a positively charged ion such as H+, Na +, K+
...
At the other end of the table is group 17 elements which contains 7 electrons, n the outermost shell, i
...
1
electron less than the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost shell
...
This transforms the atoms
into ions with a single negative charge such as F, Cl, Br, I
...
Group 18 elements have their outermost shell completely filled and the atoms of these elements have no
tendency to gain or lose elements
...
Hence the gases of group 18 such as helium, neon and argon are called inert gases
...
It includes elements like Beryllium, Magnesium, and Calcium
...
For example- Scandium, Titanium, Chromium, Iron,
Cobalt, Nickel, Zinc, Lead, Cadmium, Mercury
...
Blocks
The periodic table is divided into four blocks based on electronic configuration
...
It contain highly electron
positively metals
...
P block also includes semiconductors such as
silicon, germanium, antimony, bismuth
...
It contains transition metals
...
It contains lanthanides and actinides

Maharishi Kanad postulated that if we go on dividing the matter we get smallest
particle called Parmanu/Atom
...
They can be observed with special instrument such as scanning tunnelling microscope
...
Matter is electrical in nature
...
Atoms are made up of three fundamental particles –Electrons, Protons and Neutrons
...
Protons and neutrons are present in a very small nucleus at the centre of the atom
...
4
...
Its mass is 1836 times that of electrons
...
Electrons which have negligible mass are present
around the nucleus
...
Atom contains equal number of protons and electrons
and is electrically neutral
...
Electrons are negatively charged
...
The electron in an atom revolves around the
nucleus in definite energy levels or shell
...
Neutron is a sub atomic particle which has no electric
charge and mass slightly larger than proton
...
Electrons are arranged around the nucleus in an atom
...
These energy
level are described by number 1,2,3,4……… or by letters K,L,M,N etc
...
Smaller values of the principal
quantum number indicate that the electrons are in a low energy level
...
This
corresponds to K-shell
...
• The first or the inner most shell (n=1) can take only two elements
...
• The next shell (n=3) can take maximum 18 electrons, but if it is the outermost, then it
can take 8 electrons only
...
For example the number of
proton/electron in hydrogen is 1
...
Similarly the
number of protons of helium is 2 so atomic number of helium is 2
...
For
example in hydrogen there is 1 proton/electron but no neutron so the atomic mass of
hydrogen is 1
...
Number of protons + Number of electron = Atomic mass
Hydrogen with atomic mass 1 is the lightest element
...
Also they ate mainly responsible for emission spectra of an element
...
Hydrogen
In hydrogen there is just one electron and the chemical activity is dependent on this
electrons
...
Oxygen
Oxygen has 2 electrons in first shell and 6 electrons is second shell
...
In forming compound oxygen atom can receive
two electrons to completely fill it second shell
...
3
...
Isotopes
Some elements have more than one atomic mass but have same electrical charge on their nucleus and same chemical
properties
...
Example of isotopes are-
1
...
The atomic number in all isotopes remains same (6), however the number of neutrons in the isotopes are 6,7 and
8 respectively
...
Carbon 11 is used in positron emission tomography scanning or PET scan
...
Carbon 14 is used in dating fossil
...
However when the dead
organism decay, the carbon 14 radioactive isotopes start disintegrating this phenomena can be used in dating fossils
...
Isotopes of hydrogen
Protium, Deuterium and tritium are the three isotopes of hydrogen
...
Deuterium is also known as heavy water and is used in coolant in nuclear reactors
...
While Protium is the fuel for nuclear fusion in sun cycle
...

Elementary particles
of matter interact with one another through four different types of forces: gravitation, electromagnetism, the forces of
strong interactions and the forces of weak interactions
...
FERMIONS

...
They include QUARKS and LEPTONES
...
Quarks combine in group
of three(baryons) or group of two with antiquark (mesons)
...
3 up type quarks are
a) up
b) top
c) strange
3 down type quarks are
a ) down
b) bottom,
c) charm
...
Composite particles made
of quarks are called
Although individual quarks have fractional electrical charges, they combine such that hadrons have a net integer electric
charge
...
A meson is a fundamental particle which is 275 times heavier than
electron
...
Mesons contain one quark (q) and one antiquark ( )
...
Protons and neutrons
are baryons
...
One example of a meson is a pion ( +), which is made of an up quark
and a down anti quark
...
There are total six leptons
...
Neutrino
A Neutrino is an electrically neutral, weakly interacting elementary subatomic particle[
...
Neutrinos have mass but it is so less that it is unmeasureable
...
Neutrinos are affected only by the weak sub-atomic force, of much shorter range than
electromagnetism, and gravity, therefore a typical neutrino passes through normal matter unimpeded
...
There are three types of neutrinos: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau
neutrinos
Most neutrinos passing through the Earth emanate from the Sun
...
NEUTRINO DETECTIONt
Neutrinos cannot be detected directly, because they do not ionize the materials they are passing through It requires a very large
detector in order to detect a significant number of neutrinos
...
Various neutrino detector observatories
1Super Kamiokande detector of Japan uses a large volume of water surrounded by photomultiplier tubes that watch for
the Cherenkov radiation emitted when an incoming neutrino creates an electron or muon in the water
...

3 India-based Neutrino Observatory is a proposed particle physics research project to primarily study atmospheric neutrinos in
a 1,300 meters (4,300 ft) deep cave under near Bodhi hills Theni, Tamil Nadu, India
...
BOSONS
Bosons are one of the two classes of fundamental particles

Photoelectric effect
7
...
It challenged the classical wave theory of light
...
As shown in the diagram above when a light source is incident upon a metallic
surface, the surface can emit electrons
...
It thus explains that photon act
as particles and hit the metal surface of electrons
...
Photons are electrically neutral and are one of the rare particles that are identical to
their antiparticle, the antiphoton
...
He suggested that the energy in each quantum of light
was equal to the frequency multiplied by a constant (Planck's constant) and that a photon with a frequency over a certain
threshold would have sufficient energy to eject a single electron, producing the photoelectric effect
...
Gluons
Gluons are force-mediating particles that exist in every atomic nucleus, holding it together
...
6 x 1039 times
stronger than gravity, the weakest force
...
The strong force holds together all known matter in the universe except for dark matter
...
Like a photon (light), a gluon has no mass
...
Unlike photons however, gluons have their
own charge — which means they interact with themselves
...
After BIG BANG, it is believed that mass less particles were formed that had no mass, but
became heavy because of the Higgs field
...
HIGGS FIELD
HIGGS FIELD is the theoretical invisible energy that stretches throughout universe
...
Standard Model of physics
Standard Model of physics envisages that the universe is made from 12 basic building blocks called fundamental particles
these are 6 quarks and 6 leptons
...
Standard model also acknowledges four fundamental forces
...

Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most
powerful particle accelerator
...
The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting
magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of
the particles along the way
...
The beams travel in
opposite directions in vacuum
...
This requires chilling
the magnets to ‑271
...
The beams inside the LHC are made to collide at four locations,
corresponding to the positions of four particle detectors – ATLAS,
CMS, ALICE and LHCb
...
It is headed by Fabiola Gianotti
...
CMS Compact Muon Solenoid is one of particle accelerator made up of
superconductors
...
Its other work include study of dark matter
...
Such studies can help to explore the matter antimatter asymmetry in
the universe
...
The heavy
resulting temperature and energy generates quark- gluon plasma( It is a soup of free quarks and gluons which are several of
the basic building block of matter)
...
This is meant to explain ultra high
energy cosmic waves
...
For example, a positron is the antiparticle of the electron, with symbol e+ and an antiproton is
the antiparticle of proton symbol p
...
Furthermore,
mixing matter and antimatter can lead to the annihilation of both, thus giving rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) and
release of energy proportional to the mass as the mass-energy equivalence equation, E=mc2 shows
...
High energy cosmic rays and centre of galaxies
are believed to form antiparticles and antimatter
...
The process by which this asymmetry between particles and antiparticles developed is called baryogenesis
...
MedicalPositron emission tomography / PET scan
...
A
radiotracer is a radioactive chemical that releases tiny particles called positrons
...
It can be injected into one of your blood
vessels, it can be inhaled as a gas or it can be swallowed in the form of a tablet or capsule
...
The advantage of using FDG is that your body will treat it in a similar way to normal
glucose
...
For example, cancerous tissue processes glucose in a different way from normal body tissue, so using FDG is
an effective way of detecting cancers
...
The positrons quickly break down, releasing
energy waves known as gamma waves
...
The image
The image produced during a PET scan highlights how certain parts of your body break down the radiotracer
...
Fuel
Antimatter when collide with matter produces enormous energy
...
Dark Matter
The motion of stars are the result of the gravitational force from all other matter in the galaxy
...
In other words, all the matter we can see is not enough to produce the gravity
that is pulling things around
...
The name scientists have given to the missing material is "dark matter
...
Dark matter is the matter which is not seen by our eyes and through telescope as it neither emits nor reflects nor transmits the
lights
...
The dark matter is believed to be made up of 1
...
It includes
1
...
2
...
Massive standard model neutrinos
...
Weakly interactive massive particles (WIMPS)
WIMPS are the hypothetical particles to form dark matter
...
Because they don’t interact through electromagnetism they cannot be seen directly

How stars born and die?
A star is a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity
...
For a major part of life, a star acts like a nuclear bomb and shines due to thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its
core, releasing energy that radiates into outer space
...
The total mass of a star is the principal determinant in its evolution and eventual fate
...
4 times the mass of the Sun] expands to become a red giant
...
4 solar masses
exhaust their supply of hydrogen at their core, their outer layers expand greatly and cool to form a red giant
...
•
Very high mass stars with more than nine solar masses expand to form red supergiants
...
The collapse of star
As a star's core shrinks, the intensity of radiation from that surface increases, creating such radiation pressure on the outer shell of
gas that it will push those layers away, forming a planetary nebula
...
4 solar masses, it shrinks to a relatively tiny object about
the size of Earth, known as a white dwarf
...
The electron-degenerate
matter inside a white dwarf is no longer a plasma, even though stars are generally referred to as being spheres of plasma
...
In larger stars, fusion continues until the iron core becomes so dense that it can no longer support its own mass
...
The shockwave formed by this sudden collapse causes the rest of the star to
explode in a supernova
...
16
Most of the matter in the star is blown away by the supernova explosion and what remains will be a neutron star In case of the
largest stars , a black hole is formed
For Universe please refer last Parakram

ELECTRICITY HEATING CHEMICLE EFFECT
Electricity has an important place in modern society
...
Electric Charge
Electric charge is an example of static electricity
...
If some of them are
removed the substances become positively charged while the body which gains electrons become negatively charged
...
An Atom is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons

...
Conductors are substances in which electricity can flow freely
...
Metals show metallic lustre
...
Metals are hard
...
Metals are malleable which means metals can be beaten into thin sheets
...
Metals are good conductor of heat
...
Metals are hard and can be cut with a knife
...
Therefore Tungsten is used in filaments of bulb and tube lights
...
Alloys (Alloys are mixtures formed when a metal combines with another metal or non metal)
...
Constantan is made up of copper and nickel
...
Magnanin is made up of Iron, Manganese, Copper and Nickel
...
Nichrome is made up of Nickel, Chromium, Iron and Manganese
...
Hence they are used in making appliances like toasters and base of
electric iron
...
Non Metals or Insulator:-
Non metals or insulator are generally poor conductors of electricity
...
The first cell to generate electricity was invented by A
...
He used the chemical
energy of copper sulphate and conductors to generate electricity
...
Functioning of voltaic cell:-
At the cathode end, a copper conductor is placed in a beaker with copper sulphate as the
solution
...
This end where excess electrons are
formed
...
The end at which electrons are generated is called positive end or cathode
...
Potential Difference (PD)
PD is the difference of electric pressure between electron excess and electron deficient
ends
...
Thus PD can be considered equal to potential energy and current
equal to kinetic energy
...
CURRENT
Flow of electrons is current
...
OHM, S LAW states-
Current passing through a metallic wire is directly proportional to the potential difference across the wire which means - I
is directly proportional to V or
18
IR = V where R is a constant and is the resistance of the wire or an electrical equipment
...
Like friction it is the resisting force and is present in all
substances
...
It is the property of a conductor
to resist the flow of charges
Its SI unit is ohm, represented by the Greek letter Ω
...
What current will the heater draw if the potential difference is increased to 120 V?
Solution
We are given, potential difference V = 60 V, current I = 4 A
...
PT Facts for resistance1)Larger the wire larger the resistance
...
g
...
Similarly if a wire is cut in 4 parts the resistance decreases to one by four
...
RESISTANCE OF A SYSTEM OF RESISTORS

Electric Power
The rate at which electric energy is dissipated or consumed in an electric circuit
...
The power P is given by
P = VI
The SI unit of electric power is watt (W)
...
Thus,
1 W = 1 volt
1 ampere = 1 V A
The unit ‘watt’ is very small
...
It is equal to 1000 watts
...
One watt hour is the energy consumed when 1 watt of power is
used for 1 hour

...
The electric laundry iron, electric toaster, electric oven, electric kettle and electric heater are the devices which
are based upon Joules heating effect
...
The electric heating is also used to produce light, as in an electric bulb
...
It must not melt at such high temperature
...
The
filament should be thermally isolated as much as possible, using insulating support, etc
...
3rd common application of Joule’s heating is the fuse used in electric circuits
...
The fuse is placed in series with
the device
...
If a current larger than the specified value flows through the circuit, the temperature of the fuse wire increases
...
Domestic Circuit:- consist of 3 important wires- Live wire, Neutral wire and earth wire
...
The Live wire is connected directly to the electricity supply
...
The Neutral wire receives the electric current from the live wire by completing the circuit
...
The Earth wire usually carries no electricity, it is a safety device
...
Thus it discharges all faulty current
underground
...
MAGNETIC EFFECTS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT
In the previous Chapter on ‘Electricity’ we learnt about the heating effects of electric current
...
An electric current-carrying wire behaves like a magnet
...
C Oersted, one of the leading scientists of the 19 th century, played a crucial role in understanding electromagnetism
...
This happens only when the magnetic compass is
placed in a magnetic field
...
e changing magnetic field
produces an electric current
...
Magnetic field is a quantity that has both
direction and magnitude
...
Then your fingers will wrap around the conductor in
the direction of the field lines of the magnetic field, as shown in Fig
...
This is
known as the right-hand thumb rule*
...
Electric Motors (EM) EM are the devices which convert electrical energy into
mechanical energy the magnetic effect created around the electric wire causes the
deflection around the conductor wire which then moves and run the appliances

Onnes that the electrical conductivity of metals increases with lowering of
temperature
...
The temperature at which a metal obtains super conductivity is called as critical temperature
...
A systematic flow of electronsin one direction is responsible for flow of
electricity
...
However at low temperature the electrons excitation decreases and electrons flow in a single direction at super
conducting speed

The programme is developed in a
special computer language called computer language
...
There are two main categories of software1
...
They perform general tasks
...
Important computer language and their uses
are giving below
...
ALGOL (Algorithmic Language)

...
Linux (Personal computer)
d
...
C, C++, Java (micro soft computers)
g
...
Application software-
They addresses useful task beyond the running the computer itself like word processing, internet browsing
...
The user can insert, change, move or delete letters, words entire sections of a document
...
Open source Software or cloud computing – Is computer software that has source code made available by developer to the
user
...
Here user are treated as co developer and shearing of software occur to economy of scale and to improve business climate
...
However data can be shared between
two and more computers using data cables (made up of fibre optic or copper wire) this inter connectivity can be achieved
through computer networking
...
The information reaches the
receiving computer where its CPU decode the information
...
Example Ethernet,
which gave to wide area network and finally internet
...
Internet origin can
be traced to 1983 when US department of defence started ARPANET (Advance researched project agency network)
Internet allows transfer of mails
...
The data is transmitted of data package
...
Examples- WiFi and Wi-max
...
The data movement on the Internet
Even though the Internet is still a young technology, but today it has become indispensible part of our life
...
To understand the Internet, we have to look at it as a system with two main components
...
That includes cables which carry terabits of information every second to your computer
...
The computer, smartphone or other device are called as end points clients
...
Other elements are nodes which serve as a connecting point along a route of traffic
...
28
All this hardware requires a second important component of the Internet: the protocols
...
Without a common set of protocols, a seamless communication between devices couldn't
happen
...
Internet Protocol - IP?
IP (short for Internet Protocol) specifies the technical format of data packets and the addressing scheme for computers to
communicate over a network
...
It allows you to address a package and drop it in the system, but
there's no direct link between you and the recipient
...
IPv6 is an evolutionary upgrade to the Internet Protocol
...
IPv4 uses a 32bit address scheme allowing for a total of 232 addresses (because of the binary data transmission) which means 4 billion
addresses
...
Different Between IPv4 and IPv6Addresses are 32 bits (4 bytes) in
length
...
It can support 3x1039 or limitless Addresses
...
A Routers either deliver the package to a computer
in LAN or to other router which finally delivers data to the computer
...
Cell Phones access the internet through wireless cellular telephone network, however the access is slower than the broadband
access
...
Internet governance is a sensitive issue because the Internet works around and beyond political boundaries
...
However government is
not always wrong and it needs content regulation for security, safety, maintaining law and order and prevent misuse of internet crime
like piracy, child abuse etc
...
Its major outcome was the formation of Internet Governance Forum
(IGF) in 2006 made up of 50 members, is a multi stake holder origination (with representatives from government, Private
sector civil society and NGOs)

...
Launching vehicle and technology
Launching vehicle is the vehicle to send satellite and other space craft into space
...
To escape the gravitational pull of the earth, a rocket must
obtain an escape velocity
...
Every stage uses strong fuels which burn
to generate heat which lift against rockets
...
Sometimes for example in PSLV special
booster are required to give extra thrust
...
In second stage the
vehicle attains much higher speed
...
(For a mission designed to orbit the earth) or for deep space
mission
...
Propulsion Method for launch vehicle
Rocket uses chemical fuel in solid, liquid or cryogenic form and an oxidizer that contains the oxygen needed to burn the fuel
...
Today rocket use both solid and liquid fuel are used in combination
...
along with additives that bind the fuel together
...
These
composite fuels burn faster, thus more thrust is produce in short period of time
...
Booster rocket that produces larger thrust uses extra chemicals to increase the burning rate
...
Advantages
Liquid fuel provides greater impulse (mass into velocity) because liquid fuels are denser and burn for a longer period of time
...
The raw material like hydrogen and oxygen are abundantly available, hence easy to manufacture
...
Hence required complex containers
...
Cryogenic Fuel- Cryogenic rocket uses cryogenic fuel
...
These fuel are used in rocket
bound to space because ordinary fuel cannot be used there due to absence of oxygen that support combustion
...
Hydrogen is a gas in normal state
...
At such low temperature the molecules of hydrogen become closely packed and
concentrated into a useable form
...
The cryogenic fuel uses liquid oxygen as oxidizer
...
In
India cryogenic technology is in development stage in Mahendergiri in Tamilnadu and Liquid propulsion centre
Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala
...
India’s Launch Vehicle
Launch Vehicle is used to transport satellite into space
...
ASLV
ASLV was derived by adding two booster to SLV-3 and was successful in 1992
...
It is capable to launch 1600 kg satellite in sun synchronous orbit and 50 kg
satellite in GEO orbit
...
It is a four stage launch vehicle which uses solid and liquid fuel alternately
...
34
PSLV XL was used in Chandrayan -1 mission
...
GSLV
GSLV is made to launch INSAT-II class of satellite (2000-2500kg) in to Geo synchronous orbit
...
The third stage is cryogenic stage
...
1
...
3
...
GSLV Mk-II uses indigenous cryogenic engine
...
GSLV Mk-III is envisaged to launch 4 tonns satellite in GTO
...
It will have a lift of 629 tonns
...
SRE -1 was
designed to recover orbiting space capsule and performing experiment in microgravity, navigation, management of
communication blackout etc
...
These include parachute,
telemetry and tracking system and sensor
...
On January 2007 the capsule was reoriented for re-entry in the dense
atmosphere at the height of hundred kilometres with the speed of 8km/s
...
The orbit shape can be a circle or ellipse
...
For example a satellite in geostationary orbit rotates
round the earth at a constant speed
...
The speed is greatest at perigee (minimum altitude) and least a t
apogee (maximum altitude)
...
Low earth orbit- low earth orbit is at a height of 500 and 1500 kilometre
...
The orbit is nearest
among all orbits and because of greater gravity the satellite in low earth orbit requires higher speed to avoid gravitational pull
...
Satellites for environment monitoring and remote sensing are
launched in LEO
...
It makes 17 orbits per day
...
MEO is an elliptical orbit
...
Geo stationary orbit is a circular orbit approximately at 36000 km above earth equator
...
The Geo stationary satellite completes one rotation in 24 hours over equator
...
The satellites for communication are launched in GEO
...
Polar earth orbit PEO
...
Satellites for earth mapping, earth observation, weather monitoring are launched in PEO, because they observe the
earth from pole to pole in 24 hours
...
Since earth is a bulging geoid with low gravity at equator and high at poles, this asymmetry acts to slowly
rotate the plane of orbit about the axis of earth
...
The one full rotation is covered in one year around the earth
...
GEO transfer orbit (GTO)- GTO acts as an intermediate orbit to launch communication satellite from LEO to GEO
...
The launch vehicle can move from
LEO to GTO by firing a rocket at a tangent to LEO to increase velocity
...
It is made up of cluster of radio transmitter
called transponder, antenna and sensor or receiver
...
The signals are sent by earth station in the form of micro waves or radio waves in high frequency (Gigahertz range) to
satellite
...
C-band satellite operate the signals in 4 to 8 Ghz frequency range
...
When frequency increases wave length decreases
...
As C-band operate in low frequency larger satellite antenna is require to gather low signals
...
The relatively high frequency corresponds to smaller antennas to
receive the signals
...
Ka-band transmission occupies 20 to 30 Ghz frequency range
...
Because of higher competition must of the direct to home (DTH) systems use Ku-band
transmission
...
After travelling to ground based antenna or dish the signals again weakens

What is Radar?
Radar is an object detection system which uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of
objects
...
The radar dish or antenna transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves called radar signals which bounce off any
object in their path
...
A radar system has a transmitter that emits radio waves in predetermined directions
...
Radar signals are reflected especially well by
materials of considerable electrical conductivity—especially by most metals, by seawater and by wet lands
...
If the
object is moving either toward or away from the transmitter, there is a slight equivalent change in the frequency of the
radio waves, caused by the Doppler Effect
...
Although the reflected radar signals captured by the receiving antenna are usually very weak, they can be
strengthened by electronic amplifiers
...
Doppler Effect
The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who proposed it in 1842 in
Prague, is the change in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source
...
The
received frequency is higher (compared to the emitted frequency) during the approach, it is identical at the instant of
passing by, and it is lower during the recession
...
When the source of the waves is moving toward the
observer, the time between the arrival of successive wave crests(peaks) at the observer is reduced, causing an increase in
the frequency
...
Conversely, if the source of waves is moving away from the observer,
the arrival time between successive waves is increased, reducing the frequency, so the waves "spread out"
...
It is civil

...
Its powerful engine is called Shakti
...
Rudra Helicopter
