Q:

A series of fast moving still pictures can be made to appear as a moving picture because the eye 

A) can focus very rapidly as pictures change B) is quicker than the brain
C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second D) can shut out some of the light
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second

Explanation:

The eye can see images separately only if they are exhibited at an interval of more than 1/10 of a second. In the case of a movie, the still pictures come one after the other at less than this minimum interval. So we do not see them separately but only as a continuous moving picture.

Q:

The cover of a solar coker is made of glass because 

A) it absorbs sun's rays B) it reflects sun's rays
C) it retains the heat inside by the green house effect D) it rediates heat better than metals
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) it retains the heat inside by the green house effect

Explanation:

As the inside of the cooker is painted black, heat absorption is more producing heat waves of longer wavelength which cannot escape through glass and hence are trapped inside. Thus the food is cooked.
