Why is " Quartz " in every clock ⏰ ⏰ ??


Do you know what is common between a 200 rupee local watch and a 10000 rupee G shock watch ? Yes it is the " Quartz " word.

Come Lets know the significance of the Quartz in watches.

In olden days , our grandparents used pendulum clocks which were inaccurate as in summer and winter the time changed causing issues.

Here comes Quartz to the rescue. Quartz is a white crystal mined like gold which has a special property to vibrate insanely at a frequency of 32758 Hz when electric currentπŸ’‘ is applied. With the help of flipflop circuits its frequency is reduced to 1 Hz corresponding to the hand of the clock. 

Quartz is used because of its stability towards temperature , high accuracy , low power consumption , durability and reliability.

So the final verdict is that whether the clock shows time or not it should have QUARTZ.

Come lets find the science behind this Upside Down Yoga position !! Bananas πŸŒ show a phenomenon called Negative Geotropism - Cheating the Gravity and Soil to leap towards the Sun 🌞 ( That's why they say Bananas are not groundedπŸ˜… ). This phenomenon is supported by agent " Auxin " which is a hormone present in the tips of stem.  Agent Auxin helps in adapting Banana plant to place their leaves and unripened bananas to receive as much sunlight possible for Photosynthesis. Banana is curved because of the tug of war between gravity and agent auxin. So the final verdict is that whether a banana is yellow or green it should be as good as Pathanjali Guru Ramdev in Yoga.
