Q. Why we cannot observe the wave nature of a microscopic body?
Posted by: Hms_007
A. The wave nature of microscopic bodies cannot be observed. If we use Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, we know that we have a fixed bound for product of errors in position and momentum.
So, if we try to calculate he position too precisely then we have a large error in momentum and are not able to measure it. If we try to measure the velocity too precisely than we have a large error in position.
Thus we are not able to measure the wave nature of microscopic bodies.

Q. Why there is a need for biodegradable polymers?
Posted by: Raviaudichya
A. Non-biodegradable polymers are resistant to environmental degradation process and are thus responsible for accumulation of polymeric solid waste material. This solid waste causes environmental problems and does not degrade for a long time. Hence biodegradable polymers are required.

Q. If a, b, c are the position vectors of points A,B,C, then show that axb + bxc + cxa is perpendicular to the plane ABC.
Posted by: Ankitagandhi
A. We know that if A, B, C are vectors in same plane then A. (BΧC) = 0, [called box of ABC = 0] because vector (BΧC) is perpendicular to the BC plane.
Now, taking dot product with 'a' of above expression we get, a. [ axb + bxc + cxa ] = [ 0 + box of abc + 0 ] = 0.
