Q:

The energy of a photon, whose momentum is 10 MeV/c, where c is the speed of light, is given by

A) 10 MeV B) 100 MeV
C) 1 MeV D) 0.1 MeV
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 MeV

Explanation:

A photon’s relativistic momentum is given by the equation,E = pc where p is the momentum.

P = 10 MeV/c

So, E = 10 MeV

Q:

Radio waves sent out by a radio stations are reflected by

A) troposphere B) stratosphere
C) mesosphere D) ionosphere
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) ionosphere

Explanation:

This is a layer of atmosphere about 60 to 70 km above the earth and extends to about 400km. It contains ionised particles which can reflect radio waves making radio communication round the world possible.

Q:

Which must be true for metamorphism to occur?

A) The parent rock must be in solid form. B) Tons of pressure must be applied.
C) The process must take place underground. D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture in pre-existing rocks, without the protolith melting into liquid magma. The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids.

 

The parent rock must be in solid form. Tons of pressure must be applied for metamorphism to happen. The process must take place underground.
