Q-1)   The normal temperature of human body on the Kelvin scale is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-2)   The safest temperature for keeping food fresh in a refrigerator is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-3)   5g ice at 0ºC is mixed with 5g of steam at 100ºC . What is the final temperature?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Heat required by ice to raise its temperature to 100°C,

$Q_1 = m_1L_1 + m_1c_ 1Δϴ_1$ = 5 × 80 + 5 × 1 × 100 = 400 + 500 = 900 cal.

Heat given by steam when condensed,

$Q_2 = m_2L_2$ = 5 × 536 = 2680 cal as $Q_2 > Q_1$.

This means that whole steam is not even condensed.

Hence temperature of mixture will remain at 100°C.


Q-4)   Which one of the colours has the longest wavelength?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-5)   When a piece of ice floating in a glass of water melts, the level of water will

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-6)   When beams of red, blue and green lights fall on the same spot, the colour of the light becomes

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-7)   Retina of the eye is comparable to which of the following parts of a traditional camera?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-8)   In scattering of light phenomenon, light falls on tiny particles absorbed by these tiny particles. Then these particles re-emit light in all directions.
  1. Intensity of scattered light, $I ∝ 1/λ^4$
  2. Greenish-blue appearance of sea water is due to scattering of light
  3. In a clear atmosphere of the earth, red colour scatters more than blue colour.
Which of the above statement(s) is /are true?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

The wavelength of the red colour is more than the blue colour. According to Reybergh's scattering formula scattering ∝ $1/4$

Thus, the light of short waves is scattered about ten times as the longer waves of red light.


Q-9)   Which of the following is carried by the waves from one place to another ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Q-10)   Long radio waves are reflected by which of the following layer of Earth’s surface?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)
