It is easy to write on a rough blackboard. The friction between the chalk and the rough surface is what allows the chalk to leave behind the chalk dust that we see. Actually it would impossible to write on a theoretically smooth blackboard. Without the friction, the chalk would not leave any residue!

Why does the blackboard seems black?

A blackboard appears black because it reflects very little light, absorbing most of the light that hits it. The dark color of the board helps to contrast with the white chalk used to write on it, making the writing clearly visible.


Why is it not possible to write down the frequency of white light?

White light is a combination of all visible light frequencies, making it continuous rather than a single, distinct frequency. Therefore, it is not possible to write down a specific frequency for white light.


Is writing on a rough surface easier than writing on a smooth surface?

Writing on a rough surface can be more difficult because there is more resistance and friction between the writing tool and the surface. This can lead to uneven or inconsistent writing. Writing on a smooth surface allows the writing tool to glide more easily, resulting in smoother and more controlled writing.


How can you write with a pencil?

A sharp point on a pencil will be eroded by a rough surface (paper) and leave a coating of graphite. This does not immediately penetrate the paper and can be erased. After some time, the paper will absorb some graphite molecules into its structure, and erasures will not be complete.


When you write on the board with a piece of chalk an irritating noise results when the chalk is held at some angles yet this does not happen at any other angles Why?

The irritating noise when writing on a chalkboard happens at certain angles due to a phenomenon known as "stick-slip motion." When the chalk is held at these angles, it alternates between sticking and slipping on the board surface, creating vibrations that produce the noise. At other angles, the chalk moves more smoothly without the stick-slip behavior, resulting in no noise.

Why is it possible to write on a blackboard with chalk?

Chalk is made of calcium carbonate, a soft mineral that leaves a visible mark when drawn on a rough surface like a blackboard. When drawn on the blackboard, chalk particles rub off and stick to the surface due to friction, creating a visible line.


Why chalk is write on the board?

Chalk is able to write on a board because of its soft texture. When dragged across a rough surface like a chalkboard, the chalk leaves behind particles that stick to the surface, creating readable markings.
