    How do you represent vectors in a 3D space?

    I have problems in understanding what RECIPROCAL VECTORS are... I know the formulas regarding it but don't know their geometric meaning is... How do you represent them in a 3D spcace ?

    Levitation of objects by a magnetic field ?

    i'm sorry.i was just stupid.(abt the opposite poles repel) yeah now i get it. thanks.

    Does friction depend on area of surface of contact?

    an example for this is seen in cars.When the area under contact is more, in tyres, the milage(kms covered per litre of petrol) of the car reduces as more friction acts on the tyre,thus resulting in the need of more power for attaining a particular speed.

    Levitation of objects by a magnetic field ?

    levitation of objects by a magnetic field ? how is it done? does this happen when opposite (charged) field come in contact? i'hve not understood it properly so pls xplain.

    Electronic structure - Outer shell

    I may not got the point correct, but all i know about the last shell is that its where electrons are lost and gained depending on the electropositive or electropositive nature of the element. The atomic number of the element can help you identify the number of electrons in the atom. the number...

    Trying to understand colloids microscopically and macroscopically

    a colloidal solution or a colloid is transluscent and causes the tyndell effect, an effect seen when light is dispersed through the canopy of a forest. an example for a colloidal sol. is milk.

    Confusion in the secondary refrac. of light

    what really happens in the secondary refraction of light in a rainbow when it occurs ? Do red and violet stil refract at an angle of 42 and 40 ?
