Q. Differentiate between Mechanical and Electromagnetic Waves.

S.no.	Mechanical Waves	Electromagnetic Waves
1	Mechanical waves are such waves that need a medium for propagation.	Electromagnetic waves are such waves that do not need a medium for propagation.
2	Mechanical waves are produced by vibratory motion in the respective medium.	Electromagnetic waves are produced by a changing of electric and magnetic fields.
3	Sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves are some examples of mechanical waves	Radio waves, microwaves, light waves, U.V waves and infrared waves are some examples of electromagnetic waves.
4	Mechanical waves consist of transverse as well as longitudinal waves.	Electromagnetic waves are only comprised of a transverse wave in nature.
5	Mechanical waves cannot travel through the vacuum.	Electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum at the speed of 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
6	All mechanical waves travel through their media at different speeds depending upon the physical properties of the respective medium.	All electromagnetic waves can travel through transparent media at different speeds depending upon the refractive index of the respective medium.

The Rotten System: It Stinks !!!

The top most problem for today's world is Capitalism because today every thing in your society is just to give something to the Capitalist system.Take your shopping list before fifty years from today and you will see that a 70% t least things you buy today was not in your shopping list that time.You didn't use shampoo,you didn't use carbonated drinks on your dining table instead you use water only.The problem with capitalism is that capitalism wants uniformity of cultures.Why? because unless from Sydney to Hawaii, same type of burger is not eaten,same type of chicken is not eaten, same type of jeans is not bought,same type of pizza is not eaten and same type of life style is not lived then the capitalist system will not flourish.Once upon a time Karachi i ate burger with 10 Rs,now it is of 20 Rs so why any one will eat the same burger of Rs. 175 from KFC if he will not have the same life style.We bought Jeans of Rs.100 some time back, now we buy it on Rs.500 so why anyone...

Its All In The Mind

Our conscious mind wants reason, it learn, it reacts or all about conscious mind is summarised as the sensible part of our mind. Now if we discussed about the sub conscious mind then it is somewhat different from the first part. The subconscious mind works as a tape recorder, when one thing is stored in it then it repeats just like magnetic tape. It doesn’t want reason, it records rather than learn. The subconscious mind knows how to walk, how to talk and regular working that we repeat time and time again. When we records one time that how to walk then every time we don’t have to think but we just act as the method is recorded in our sub conscious mind. How often we have seen that when we spent some time with a person who is suffering from a disease, after some time we feel that we are also suffering fro...
