The following question based on modern and space physics, sources of energy topic of general science mcq

Questions : The number of atoms per unit cell in a sc, bcc and fcc system are:

(a) 8, 6 and 10 respectively

(b) 1, 4 and 2 respectively

(c) 1, 2 and 4 respectively

(d) 2, 4 and 1 respectively

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (c)

Number of atoms per unit cell,

$n = {N_c}/8 + {N_f}/2 + {N_i}/1$

For scc system, $N_c = 8, N_f = 0$ and

$N_i = 2$, so n = 2

For f.c.c. system, $N_c = 8, N_f = 0$ and

$N_i = 4$, so n = 4

Question : 1

Match Column I and Column II.

Column I Column II
A. Sputnik - I 1. Indian experimental satellite
B. Apple 2. The first active satellite
C. Apsara 3. Detecting α and β particles
D. Geiger muller counter 4. The first Indian nuclear reactor
Select the correct answer using the codes given below the columns:

a) A – 4 ; B – 2 ; C – 1 ; D – 3

b) A – 2 ; B – 1 ; C – 4 ; D – 3

c) A – 3 ; B – 4 ; C – 1 ; D – 2

d) A – 2 ; B – 4 ; C – 1 ; D – 3

Answer: (b)

A → 2;

B → 1;

C → 4;

D → 3.

Question : 2

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies greater than the critical frequency of ionosphere cannot be used for communication using sky wave propagation because:

a) The refractive index of the ionosphere becomes very low for f > $f_ c$

b) The refractive index of the ionosphere very high for f < $f_c$

c) The refractive index of the ionosphere becomes very high for f > $f_c$

d) None of the these

Answer: (c)

For the total internal reflection of sky waves, the refractive index of the ionosphere should be less.

If f > fc, the refractive index will increase. By this waves will just pass without reflection taking place.

Question : 3

Telephony is an example of ________ mode of communication

a) broadcast

b) both (a) and (c)

c) point-to-point

d) None of these

Answer: (c)

Question : 4

Consider the following statements: In a nuclear reactor, self-sustained chain reaction is possible, because:

  1. More neutrons are released in each of the fission reactions.
  2. The neutrons immediately take part in the fission process.
  3. The fast neutrons are slowed down by graphite.
  4. Every neutron released in the fission reaction initiates further fission.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

a) 1 and 3

b) 2 and 4

c) 1, 2 and 3

d) 2, 3 and 4

Answer: (c)

A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. The most common use of nuclear reactors is for the generation of electrical power and for the power in some ships.

In every fission reaction in which uranium nuclei splits up to give smaller nuclei three more neutrons are produced which further results into splitting of heavy uranium nuclei and more number of neutrons will be produced.

Thus, statement, 1 & 2 are correct.

In nuclear reactor all the neutrons produced can not take part in fission reaction, else reaction can turn out extremely violent. Thus, graphite rods are used as a control rods to slow down the speed of fast moving neutrons. Thus, statement 3 is also correct.

Question : 5

If an a-particle is projected normally through a uniform magnetic field, then the path of the a-particle inside the field will be

a) parabolic

b) elliptical

c) circular

d) a straight line

Answer: (c)

Question : 6

Television signals are

a) amplitude modulated

b) both frequency and amplitude modulated

c) frequency modulated

d) phase modulated

Answer: (b)
