Question Section:
Que (101): Mesons are found in which rays?
A. Gama rays
B. UV Rays
C. Cosmic rays
D. Light rays
Answer: C. Cosmic rays,
Mesons appear in nature only as short-lived products of very high-energy collisions between particles made of quarks, such as cosmic rays (high-energy protons and neutrons) and ordinary matter. [Source]
Que (102): A liquid will not wet the surface of solid if the angle of contact is?
A. Acute
B. Obtuse
C. Right angle
D. No angle
Answer: B. Obtuse,
This depends on the contact angle between the liquid and solid surfaces. When the liquid does not wet the sides of a solid object, it means that the angle of contact is more than 90° but less than 180° i.e. it’s an obtuse angle
Que (103): On which planet of the solar system does the sun rise in the west and set in the east?
A. Venus
B. Mars
C. Neptune
D. Earth
Answer: A. Venus,
Venus and Uranus are only two planets that rotate from East to West, while all other planets rotate in opposite direction.
Que (104): Which planet of the solar system has the longest day?
A. Venus
B. Mars
C. Uranus
D. Neptune
Answer: Venus,
A day of Venus lasts for 243 Earth days and a day of Jupiter lasts for only 9 hours.
Que (105): Why can Insects move on the surface of water without sinking?
A. Because of its weight
B. Because of its leg grip
C. Because of the dirt on water
D. Due to the surface tension
Answer: D. Due to Surface tension of water,
Due to surface tension of water the insects can walk on it easily without sinking.
Que (106): Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with frequency in the range of which unit?
A. Keliv
B. Ampere
C. Candela
D. Giga hertz
Answer: D. Giga hertz,
The term “microwaves” applies to electromagnetic radiation corresponding to a frequency range of 0.3–3 GHz.
Que (107): Who firstly predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves?
A. Maxwell
B. Faraday
C. Nerst
D. Hertz
Answer: D. Hertz,
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was a German physicist who first conclusively proved the existence of the electromagnetic waves predicted by James Clerk Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism. [Source]
Que (108): Which type of glass is used in making lenses and prisms?
A. Laminated glass
B. Swytch glass
C. Tempered glass
D. Flint glass
Answer: D. Flint glass,
Flint glass is used in opticals and prisms, because it absorbs most of the UV light and very little visible light.
Que (109): The intensity of a magnetic field is defined as the force experienced by which pole?
A. North pole
B. South Pole
C. Equally on both
D. Divided throughout the divider
Answer: A. Unit north pole,
Intensity of magnetic field is a force experienced by a unit north pole placed at a point in a magnetic field around a magnet or a current carrying conductor or coil.
Que (110): In which process, a nucleus spontaneously breaks down by emitting radiation?
A. Alpha decay
B. Beta decay
C. Gamma decay
D. Radioactive decay
Answer: D. Radioactive decay,
Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive.
Que (111): Fluorescent tubes are fitted with a choke. What is the function of choke coil in it?
A. Reduces current in the circuit
B. Increases the current in circuit
C. Levels the current in the circuit
D. Eliminates the current in circuit
Answer: A. Reduces current in the circuit,
Choke decreases the current without wasting electrical energy in the form of heat, whereas if resistance is used then electrical energy will be wasted hence choke is used instead of resistance.
Que (112): For television broadcasting, what frequency is employed normally?
A. 30 – 100 MHz
B. 30 – 300 MHz
C. 30 – 500 MHz
D. 30 – 1000 MHz
Answer: B. 30 – 300 MHz,
Generally, 30 MHz to 300 MHz frequency is used for the television broadcasting signals.
Que (113): Which effect shows particle nature of light?
A. Abscopal effect
B. Accordion effect
C. Aharonov–Bohm effect
D. Photoelectric effect
Answer: Photoelectric effect,
Refraction, interference and polarisation all show wave nature of light. Where as Photoelectric effect shows particle nature.
Que (114): Which planet is known as veiled planet?
A. Venus
B. Neptune
C. Saturn
D. Mars
Answer: A. Venus,
Venus is called the veiled planet because it is covered with thick clouds .
Que (115): Optic fibres are mainly used for which purpose?
A. Transfer
B. Communication
C. Strengthening
D. none of these
Answer: B. Communication,
Fiber optics is used for long-distance and high-performance data networking. It is also commonly used in telecommunication services, such as internet, television and telephones. [Source]
Que (116): Which rays are most penetrating?
A. Gamma Rays
B. X Rays
C. Alpha Rays
D. Beta Rays
Answer: A. Gamma-rays,
Gamma rays has most penetrating power as it has no electric charge and thus do not interact with matter as strongly as do charged particles. [Source]
Que (117): Which is a good conductor of electricity?
A. Metals
B. Non-Metals
C. Plastic
D. All. ofthe above
Answer: A. Metals.
Que (118): Which common devices works on the basis of the principle of mutual induction?
A. Resistor
B. Transformer
C. Conductor
D. LED
Answer: B. Transformer,
Mutual inductance is defined as the ratio between the EMF induced in one loop or coil by the rate of change of current in another loop or coil. [Source]
Que (119): What happens to the Water vapour beyond the dew point?
A. Evaporation
B. Precipitation
C. Condensation
D. none of these
Answer: C. Condensation,
Water vapour beyond the dew point results in condensation.
Que (120): Which is the process in which no heat enters or leaves?
A. Conduction
B. Convection
C. Radiation
D. Adiabatic
Answer: D. Adiabatic,
The process in which no heat enters or leaves the system is termed as adiabatic process.
