Physics Questions

Q:

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between

A) Crest and Trough B) Crest and Crest
C) Trough and Trough D) Both B & C
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both B & C

Explanation:

Distance between two Consecutive Crests or two Consecutive Troughs is called Wavelength. But the distance between crest and adjacent trough is half the wavelength.

That is the distance between adjacent crest and trough is called Half the wavelength.

C) Silver D) Copper
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Silver

Explanation:

silver is the best conductor of electricity.

When compared to remaining 3 metals, as Silver having more number of free electrons in its valency shell it is the good conductor of electricity.

Conductors Thermal Conductivity @ 25degree C

Silver --- 429
Copper --- 401
Gold --- 310
Aluminium --- 250

Q:

A spring is an example of which of these

A) Newton's 3rd law B) Hooke's law
C) Newton's 1st law D) Conservation of mass law
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Hooke's law

Explanation:

When you compress or stretch a spring, as soon as the stress is relieved, the spring attains its normal shape instantly. Its Elastic potential energy helps it do so. Generally, these elastic substances follow the Hooke’s law.

 

According to this Law, the force needed to change the shape of spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. The displacement referred here is how far the spring is compressed or stretched from its normal shape. Mathematically, Hook’s Law can be summarised as F= – k x. Here ‘k’ is the spring constant and ‘x’ is the displacement.

Q:

Stars are held together by

A) Gravitational forces B) Electrical forces
C) Ionic forces D) Magnetic forces
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Gravitational forces

Explanation:

A star is a self luminous astronomical object and shines due to internal radiation from the enrgy sources. All stars are held together by their own gravity called Gravitational force.
