Which one is better for eyes ?? Yellow or the white light ??

 Both light types feel normal   !!!

But they affect and comfort the eyes differently.

The right choice depends on what we are watching.

White light or daylight tone keeps the brain alert and improves concentration.

It is better for studying, working and reading.

 

Staring at bright white light for long hours can lead to headache, digital fatigue and dry eyes at night.

Yellow light feels gentler on eyes. It reduces strain and creates calm environment.

It helps brain to wind  down and supports better sleep.

SO WHICH IS BETTER  ??

Neither of colours are universally better !!!

It depends on use.

White light for focus and task.

Yellow light for comfort and rest  !!!

Bheja Fry Question

  Question 

A sleeper bus caught fire because of collision with container truck.  There were 31 passengers and 1 driver on the bus.

If the time for each passenger to get down is 30 secs, in how many minutes did the bus get engulfed in flames ??

​

​Answer 

We add the passengers and the driver together:

​Passengers: 31

​Driver: 1

​Total People : 31 + 1 = 32

​

If each person takes 30 seconds to exit, we multiply the total number of people by the time per person:

Time  =  32  ×    30  =  960 seconds. 

A minute has 60 seconds. 

==>>  Time  =  960/60 

==>>  Time  =  16  minutes

So it takes total  16 minutes to passengers to come out of the bus one by one   !!! 

Bus got engulfed in fire in nearly 16 minutes......
