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.

Q:

"The Law of Kepler" is related with which among the following ?

A) Planetary Motion B) Law of Conservation of energy
C) Law of Gravitation D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Planetary Motion

Explanation:

Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun.

  • Kepler’s three laws of planetary motion can be stated as follows:

(1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci.

(2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.

(3) The squares of the sidereal periods (of revolution) of the planets are directly proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the Sun.

Q:

When a piece of pure silicon is doped with aluminium, then

A) the conductivity of the doped silicon piece will remain the same B) the doped silicon piece will become n-type
C) the doped silicon piece will become p-type D) the resistivity of the doped silicon piece will increase
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the doped silicon piece will become p-type

Explanation:

p type of semiconductor is obtained when Silicon is doped with a trivalent impurity like Aluminium. Aluminium is a p-type dopant, which means that when a semiconductor i.e. silicon is doped with aluminium, it creates a hole (positively charged carrier) by accepting an electron from the silicon atom. Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increasesand resistivity remains the same

Q:

The fact that two large ships travelling on close parallel courses in the same direction tend to move towards each other can be explained by

A) Bernoulli's principle B) Magnetic properties of the ship's material
C) Newton's third law of motion D) Earth's gravitational force
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Bernoulli's principle

Explanation:

The rapid flow of air between the two moving ships causes a reducton of pressure (Bernoulli's principle) , so they (the ships) are drawn closer together

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.
