a) total internal reflection

b) atmospheric refraction

c) dispersion of light

d) diffraction of light

Answer: (b)

Due to atmospheric refraction the twinkling of star, and their position appear higher than the normal.

Question : 4

A sound wave having certain frequency is incident on air-water surface. A part of it is reflected and other part is refracted into water. Then:

a) the frequency of reflected wave will be more than frequency of refracted wave

b) the reflected wave will travel faster than refracted wave

c) the wavelength of refracted wave will be more than wavelength of reflected wave

d) the frequency, wavelength and velocity of reflected and refracted waves will be same as that of incident wave

Answer: (c)

We know that

speed = frequency × wavelength

If the frequency is constant, then speed a wavelength

We know that the speed of the sound waves in water is more than that of air.

Hence option (c) is correct.

a) low humidity

b) high evaporation

c) low temperature

d) extreme temperature

Answer: (a)

Question : 6

Assertion (A):
With the increase of temperature, the viscosity of glycerin increases.
Reason (R):
