Q:

Which has the lowest albedo?

A) dark surfaces B) light surfaces
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) dark surfaces

Explanation:

Albedo refers to a material's ability to reflect sunlight. Since 30% of the sun's energy is reflected by the entire earth, the earth has an average albedo of 0.30.

Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo.

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.

Q:

Is air homogeneous or heterogeneous?

A) homogeneous B) heterogeneous
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) homogeneous

Explanation:

A Mixture is a material made up of two or more different substances which are mixed.

 

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

 

* A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.

* A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present.

 

Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances.

Q:

The p wave of a normal Electrocardiogram indicates

A) atrial depolarization B) Ventricular repolarization
C) atrial repolarization D) Ventricular depolarization
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) atrial depolarization

Explanation:

The P wave in the ECG represents atrial depolarization, which results in atrial contraction, or atrial systole.

The P wave is a summation wave generated by the depolarization front as it transits the atria.

Q:

The velocity required to place a vehicle in orbit round the moon is _______ that required to place it in orbit round the earth 

A) less than B) Greater than
C) equal to D) greater than or equal to
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) less than

Explanation:

This orbital velocity at the moon is less because orbital velocity = rg

 

where 'r ' is the orbital radius. i.e the distance of the body from the center of the earth and 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity on the body in question. In the case of the moon, both r and g are less than in the case of the earth.
