Q:

Which one of the following may be the true characteristic of cyclones?

A) Temperate cyclones move from west to east with westerlies whereas tropical cyclones follow trade winds B) The front side of cyclone is known as the 'eye of cyclone'.
C) Cyclones possess a centre of high pressure surrounded by closed isobars D) Hurricanes are well known tropical cyclones which develop over mid latitudes.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Temperate cyclones move from west to east with westerlies whereas tropical cyclones follow trade winds

Explanation:

Temperate Cyclones are cyclones of mid-latitudes and hence are primarily under influence of permanent winds of mid-latitudes i.e. westerlies. Their movement is therefore eastwards of their origin with average velocity of 32km per hour in summers and 48km per hour in winters.

Movement of Tropical CyclonesNormally, they move from east to west under the influence of trade winds because trade winds are permanent winds of tropical latitudes. The general direction is therefore westwards from their origin. They advance with varying velocities. Weak cyclones move at the speed of about 32km per hour while hurricanes attain the velocity of 180km per hour or more.

Q:

Which  one  of  the  following  statements  is not correct?

A) The    cathode    rays    originate    from cathode   and   proceed   towards   the anode   in   a   cathode-ray   discharge tube. B) The television picture tubes are nothing but cathode ray tubes.
C) The  cathode  rays  themselves  are  not visible. D) The   characteristics   of   cathode   rays depend  upon  the  nature  of  the  gas present in the cathode-ray tube.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) The   characteristics   of   cathode   rays depend  upon  the  nature  of  the  gas present in the cathode-ray tube.

Explanation:

Cathode ray is a beam of electrons emitted   from   the   cathode   of   a vacuum    tube.    It    is    invisible. Cathode  ray  tubes  are  also  found in     televisions     and     computer monitors.  Since  cathode  ray  is  a beam of electrons and all electrons are  identical,  charge  to  mass  ratio is same for all the gases and does not depend on the nature of gas.
