Q:

Long Sightedness means

A) near images are blurry B) far images are blurry
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) near images are blurry

Explanation:

Long sightedness is a common vision condition in which nearby objects are blurry.

 

In this situation, the person with this condition of the eye where the curvature of the cornea is flat or the axial length of the eyeball is short. When light enters the eye, it does not focus directly on the retina, but focuses beyond the retina. This causes near images to appear out of focus and blurred.

Q:

The law of conservation of energy states that

A) energy can neither be created nor destroyed B) energy can either be created nor destroyed
C) energy can neither be created or destroyed D) energy can either be created or destroyed
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) energy can neither be created nor destroyed

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is a law of science which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.

In 1842, Julius Robert Mayer discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Q:

Sound waves cannot travel through

A) Gas B) Liquid
C) Vacuum D) Solid
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves cannot travel through a Vacuum.

 

A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.

Q:

Acceptable noise level for human ear

A) > 85 db B) = 85 db
C) < 85 db D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) < 85 db

Explanation:

Sound intensity or level is measured by a unit called a decibel. An 85 decibel noise level is not a safe standard for the public.

 

Hence, Acceptable noise level for human ear is less than 85 db.

Q:

Two metallic wires made from copper have same length but the radius of wire 1 is half of that of wire 2. The resistance of wire 1 is R. If both the wires are joined together in series, the total resistance becomes

 

A) 2R B) R/2
C) 5R/4 D) 3R/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5R/4

Explanation:

So, resistance of Wire 2 is R/4 as radius is half of wire 1, so area would be 4 times of wire 1.

Now for resistance in series. R= R1 + R2.

Therefore, Final R= R + R/4 = 5R/4
