No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).


Can a reflection be a shadow?

It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.


What is the effect of the mass of an object at the time of descent.?

According to Galileo, the mass of an object has no effect on the time of descent here on earth under a constant gravitational value, he discovered that objects will reach the ground at the same even though they may have different masses. this is due to the same rate of acceleration of objects experienced here on earth (approximately 9.8m/s/s). Merely the minute difference in the time observed between two falling objects of different masses can be attributed to the heavier object overcoming the friction force of air resistance better than the lighter.


How speed of sound increases wave length?

The speed of sound depends on the medium the waves pass through, and is a fundamental property of the material. It itself cannot increase wave length as it is merely a property and not an active force that can modify anything.

What is the name the god for Buddhism?

The existence or non-existence of God is considered irrelevant in Buddhism - it is an experiental practice, not a doctrine. One of the main principles of Buddhism is: Do not accept anything on (mere) hearsay Do not accept anything by mere tradition Do not accept anything on account of mere rumors Do not accept anything just because it accords with your scriptures. Do not accept anything by mere suppositions. Do not accept anything by mere inference. Do not accept anything by merely considering the reasons. Do not accept anything merely because it agrees with your pre-conceived notions. Do not accept anything merely because it seems acceptable Do not accept anything thinking that the priest [saying it] is respected
