Physics Questions

Q:

In order to make an electromagnet you need a

A) Dry cell batteries B) Thin coated copper wire
C) Iron nail D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

To create a simple electromagnet, you'll need a source of electricity, a conductor, and metal. Wrap insulated copper wire tightly around an iron screw or nail before connecting the wire to a battery, and watch as your new electromagnet picks up small metal objects.

Q:

The pressure of a fluid varies with depth h as P = PQ+pgh, where p is the fluid density. This expression is associated with

A) Pascal’s law B) Newton’s law
C) Bernoulli’s principle D) Archimedes’ principle
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Pascal’s law

Explanation:

Pascal's law is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.

This principle is stated mathematically as: P= P + rgh

Q:

Through which light cannot pass?

A) Notebook paper B) Water
C) Book D) Sun glasses
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Book

Explanation:

The objects through which light cannot pass are called as Opaque objects. Some objects allow some light to pass through them and are called as Translucent objects. The objects which allow all the light to pass through them are called as Transparent objects.

 

Here in the given options Book is an example of opaque object as it does not allow light to pass through it. Water is transparent object and notebook paper and sun glasses are examples of translucent objects.

Q:

When the Sun is near the horizon during the morning or evening, it appears reddish. The phenomenon that is responsible forth is observation is

A) reflection of light B) refraction of light
C) dispersion of light D) scattering of light
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) scattering of light

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh's law, the intensity of scattered light varies inversely as the fourth power of its wavelength. Sunlight consists of seven colours. Of these, red has the maximum wavelength. During sunrise and sunset, the rays have to travel a larger part of the atmosphere because they are very close to the horizon.Therefore, light other than red is mostly scattered away. Most of the red light, which is the least scattered, enters our eyes. Hence, the sun and the sky appear red.
