Multiple choice evs light, shadows and images what makes things visible nature and sources of light light travels in straight line

The illumination on the screen, in case of a movie hall if the distance between the projector and the screen is increased by $1\%$ will be:

  1. increased by $1\%$
  2. decreased by $1\%$
  3. increased by $2\%$
  4. decreased by $2\%$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Projector act as a point source

Hence   $E\propto \dfrac{1}{r^{2}}$
$\dfrac{dE}{E}=2\left(\dfrac{\Delta r}{r}\right)=2\times 1\%=2\%$
As the distance increases, the illumination will decrease.

Pick the only wrong statement in the following :

  1. Light travels with a speed greater than that of sound

  2. Light cannot travel through vacuum

  3. Light travels in a straight line

  4. Light is a wave motion

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Light travels through vacuum for sure as it does not need a material medium for its propagation. Sunlight is the biggest example for this.

Moreover, light has maximum speed in vacuum ,that is, $3\times 10^8$.

What is the wavelength range of visible light?

  1. $ 4 \times 10^{-7} m $ to $ 8 \times 10^{-7} m$
  2. $ 4 \times 10^{-9} m $ to $ 8 \times 10^{-9} m$
  3. $ 4 \times 10^{-5} m $ to $ 8 \times 10^{-5} m$
  4. $ 4 \times 10^{-6} m $ to $ 8 \times 10^{-6} m$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The wavelength of visible light lies between $400\,{\rm{nm}}$ to $800\,{\rm{nm}}$.

Or, $4 \times {10^{ - 7}}$ to $8 \times {10^{ - 7}}\,{\rm{m}}$

In a YDSE with two identical slits, when the upper slit is covered with a thin, perfectly transparent sheet of mica, the intensity at the centre of screen reduces to $75\%$ of the initial value. Second minima is observed to be above this point and third maxima below it. Which of the following can be a possible value of phase difference caused by the mica sheet.

  1. $\dfrac{\pi}{3}$
  2. $\dfrac{13\pi}{3}$
  3. $\dfrac{17\pi}{3}$
  4. $\dfrac{11\pi}{3}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Here when second order minica replaces bright spot change in path difference$3\pi $


Second order minica phase difference$\dfrac { \pi  }{ 2 } $

Phase difference lies between $3\pi\ to\ 4\pi $ i.e. $\dfrac{11\pi}{3}$

Multiple choice evs seed becomes plant other modes of vegetative propagation the journey of seeds introduction to reproduction

Asexual reproduction is related to

  1. Amphimixis

  2. Agamospermy

  3. Vegetative propagation

  4. Both B and C

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
There are two modes of reproduction in plants: Sexual reproduction and Asexual reproduction. 
In sexual reproduction, there is the fusion of gametes of two different parents (called as syngamy) whereas, in sexual reproduction, offspring is formed from a single parent without the formation of gametes. Amphimixis is a kind of sexual reproduction which involves the meiosis and syngamy. A special type of asexual reproduction is there which is known as Apomixis in which there is seed formation without the fusion of gametes. Apomixis is further divided into two categories: Vegetative propagation and agamospermy. In vegetative propagation, any part of the plant may develop into a new plant. In agamospermy, plant propagation occurs by means of apomictic seeds or asexual seeds. 
Therefore, both vegetative propagation and agamospermy are types of asexual reproduction.
So, the correct answer is D.

Why seed dispersal is important?

  1. Survival of plant

  2. Introduction of plant

  3. Adaptation of plant

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

  • Dispersal of seed is important as if seeds germinate near to parent plants it will increase a lot of competition for air, water, and food as well. 
  • If competition increases it will lead to the death of the species and dispersal also leads to exposure to a new environment that helps in adaptation and evolution.

So, the correct option is 'Survival of plant'.

Seeds tarvel with water is filled with

  1. Water

  2. Air

  3. Protein

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Seeds that travel in water is modified certain mechanism that make them light and filled with air so that they are able to travel a long distance and reach to places that are far from the parents. Its best example is the modification of mesocarp of coconut that helps it in hydrochory and able it to float a long distance.

So, the correct option is 'Air'
