  1. iron lined aprons and copper gloves.

  2. silver lined aprons and silver gloves.

  3. lead lined aprons and lead gloves

  4. any of the above can be used.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The people working with radioactive naturals are required to follow strictly the safety rules like they should put on special lead lined aprons and lead gloves. They should handle the radioactive naturals with long lead tongs.

Astronomers have observed a small massive object at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy. A ringof material orbits this massive object; the ring has a diameter of about 15 light years and an orbital  speed of 200$\mathrm { km } / \mathrm { s }$ . What is the mass of the massive object at the centre of the minky  Way? Given $G = 6.67 \times 10 ^ { - 11 } \mathrm { Nm } ^ { 2 } \mathrm { kg } ^ { 2 }$ and 1 light year $= 9.5 \times 10 ^ { 15 } \mathrm { m }$ 

  1. Approximately $8.1 \times 10 ^ { 37 } \mathrm { kg }$

  2. approximately $4.3 \times 10 ^ { 37 } \mathrm { kg }$

  3. Approximately $6 \times 10 ^ { 37 } \mathrm { kg }$

The visible light spectrum of a typical star like our Sun shows:

  1. bright emission lines

  2. shows all of the other answers depending on the season on Earth

  3. no spectral lines at all

  4. dark absorption lines


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

They show dark absorption light which tells us about the temperature of star like oxide lines are there only in cool stars while hot stars show helium lines.

What is known as an eclipse?

  1. Astronomical event when one celestial body partially or totally cover another celestial object

  2. Astronomical event when one celestial body cover another meteor

  3. Astronomical event when one meteor partially or totally cover another meteor

  4. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An eclipse is an event where one heavenly body compeletely or partially blocks the light from the other heavenly body.

Which type of eclipse is known when Earth, Moon and Sun doesn't align in straight line and Moon only partially covers sun?

  1. Total Solar Eclipse

  2. Partial Solar Eclipse

  3. Annular Solar Eclipse

  4. None


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When Moon is between the Sun and the Earth but doesn't align in a straight line results in a partial solar eclipse.

Partial Solar Eclipse is known when Earth, Moon and Sun doesn't align in straight line and Moon only partially covers sun.
