While moving from deep water to shallow water.

  1. Frequency of the water waves decrease

  2. Frequency of the water waves increase

  3. Frequency of the water waves stays the same

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The frequency of a wave is determined by the source and remains constant when the wave passes from one medium to another, while speed and wavelength change.

Which of the following is a unit for intensity of light?

  1. Candle power

  2. Lux

  3. Both A & B

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
In photometry, luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye. The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela (cd), an SI base unit.
Also, unit for intensity of light are:
(i) Candle Power
(ii) Lux

Newton postulated his corpuscular theory of light on the basis of

  1. newton's rings

  2. rectilinear propagation of light

  3. colour through thin films

  4. dispersion of white light into colours
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Rectilinear propagation of light.
According to Newton’s Corpuscular Theory of Light, light consists of very tiny particles called corpuscles. These corpuscles, on emission from the source of light, travel in straight line with high velocity.

According to corpuscular theory, the velocity of light in the denser medium is greater than that in rarer medium.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The corpuscles (light) would travel faster in the denser medium than in rarer medium. But later this is proved wrong. We know that light travels faster in the rarer medium than in denser medium.

Multiple choice evs sources of water conservation of natural and energy resources energy conservation and sources importance of the conservation of natural resources

The best way to conserve energy is 

  1. Install exhaust fan at a high elevation

  2. Use of fluorescent bulbs

  3. Turn off light when not in use

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Conservation of energy is of great concern nowadays. Light is also a form of energy which should not be wasted. The best way to conserve the light energy are as follows.

(i) Turn off the lights when not in use.
(ii) De-dust lighting fixtures to maintain illumination.
(iii) LED Lamps should be used instead of conventional incandescent bulbs. For example, a 16w LED bulb can be as bright as 150w halogen lamp. LED lamp consumes 1/3rd of CFL energy and 1/30th energy of incandescent bulbs. 
(iv) Conventional regulators should be replaced with electronic regulators for ceiling fans.
(v) Install exhaust fans at a higher elevation than ceiling fans. In diary/poultry industry usage of multi fan axial fans leads to low energy consumption with low noise levels etc.
Thus, the correct option is D.

Identify the energy saving light bulb.

  1. Incandescent bulb

  2. Compact fluorescent light bulb

  3. Light emitting diode bulb

  4. Both B and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

CFL (Compact fluorescent light bulbs) and LED (Light emitting diode bulb) are used in place of incandescent bulb because they use about 1/7$^{th}$ of the power used by the incandescent bulb. Hence, they are highly efficient in saving electricity.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Solar energy is the .......... source of energy.

  1. Conventional

  2. Non conventional

  3. Man made

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar, geothermal heat, and biomass is known as non-conventional energy. Solar energy is an inexhaustible non-conventional resource. There are three methods of harnessing solar energy- direct heating (e.g., solar cookers), thermoelectric conversion or solar thermal power plants, for example, steam generation and photovoltaic conversion.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
