a) 1 only
b) 2 only
c) Both 1 and 2
d) Neither 1 nor 2
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: b) 2 only
A flute of smaller length produces waves of higher frequency.
Q4. Splitting of light into its constituent colors is known as..a) Reflected light
b) Dispersion

d) Separation
View Answer / Hide AnswerQ5. Uses of Multiple Reflection of sound can be observed in instruments likea) Megaphone
b) Horn
c) Speakers
d) Stethoscope
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: d) Stethoscope
Stethoscope is a medical instrument used for listening sounds produced within the body mainly in the heart or lungs. Sound of patients heart beat reaches the doctor's ears by multiple reflection of sound.
Q6.When a CD is seen in sunlight ,rainbow like colours are seen .This can be explained on the basis of the phenomenon of
a) Reflection and Diffraction
b) Reflection and transmission
c) Diffraction and transmission
d) Refraction, Diffraction and transmission
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWERd) Refraction ,Diffraction and transmission
Explanation-The compact disc is transparent for light as it is an "Optical disc". When light travels through it in a straight line it gets refracted due to deviation from its path,and gets diffracted after passing through it and seven colours are quickly transmitted or appeared.
Q7-Diffusion of light in the atmosphere takes place due toa) Carbon dioxide
b) Dust particles
c) Helium
d) Water vapors
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: b) Dust particles
Q8. In which of the following "Capillarity" is not the only reason.a) Blotting of ink
b) rising of underground water
c) the spreading of water drops on cotton cloths.
d)the rising of water from the root of the plants to the leaves.
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: d)the rising of water from the root of the plants to the leaves.
Q9."Cryogenics" is used ina) Space travel, surgery, and magnetic levitation
b) Surgery, magnetic levitation and telemetry
c) Space travel, surgery and telemetry
d) Space journey ,magnetic levitation and telemetry
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: d) Space journey ,magnetic levitation and telemetry
Cryogenic technology uses very low temperature. This technology is used in space craft engine, production of very high magnetic,field and remote sensing.
Q10. When light waves pass from air to glass, the variables affected are ______ a) Wavelength, frequency and velocity
b) Velocity and frequency
c) Wavelength and frequency
d) Wavelength and velocity
View Answer / Hide AnswerANSWER: d) Wavelength and velocity
When light waves pass from air to glass refraction takes place due to different velocities of light in different media without affecting frequency .Frequency remains constant when light travels from one medium to another medium .Velocity is directly proportional to wavelength. And thus wavelength also changes.
