  • Question 1/15
    1 / -0.33

    The frequency of B is 3% greater than that of A. The frequency of C is 2% less than that of A. If B and C produce 8 beats/s, then frequency of A is –

    Solutions

    Let the frequency of A be v

    vB=v+3100v

    vC=v3100v

    Beat frequency between B and C

    =vBvC

    =3v100+2v100=5v100=v20

    v20=8

    v=160 Hz

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 3/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1. When one enters a dark room, one is not able to see anything but, after sometime vision improves. This is because the pupil of the eye inflates.
    2. A myopic eye can be rectified by concave lens to get the distant vision.


    Which of the given statements is/are true?
  • Question 4/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1. The light from sun takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
    2. Twinkling of light is based on the phenomenon of refraction of light.
    3. Due to absorption of light, the atmosphere appears reddish during morning and evening.

    Which of the given statements is/are correct?
  • Question 5/15
    1 / -0.33

    Which of the following statements is/are correct?

    1. Infrared radiations are used as signals during war.
    2. Roentgen discovered the X–rays.
    3. Periscope, an instrument, produces multiple reflections of coloured glass pieces and creates beautiful patterns.
  • Question 6/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1. The colour of an opaque object is due to the colour it absorbs.
    2. A mirage is produced because warm air has a higher index of refraction than cool air.
    3. The bending of light rays, which enter our eyes, is done by cornea of the eye.


    Which of the given statements is /are correct?
  • Question 7/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1. CFLs are recommended to use because they convert DC to AC.
    2. CFL contains mercury, which is very toxic to health and environment.
    3. LEDs use the least power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens).


    Which of the given statements is/are correct?
  • Question 8/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1. Old written material, which cannot be read easily, can be read by ultra violet rays.
    2. Gamma rays carry the maximum energy and used in the treatment of cancer.

    Which of the given statements is/are correct?
  • Question 9/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1.  The power of lens is generally measured in candela.
    2. Spectroscopy (3D imaging) is a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of binocular vision.
    3. Supermarket scanners emit Infra red radiations, which are harmful to environment.


    Which of the given statements is/are incorrect?
  • Question 10/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1. The glowing of tube light is based on the phenomenon of total internal reflection.
    2. The fibre optic cable, which is widely used in cable media, is worked on the principle of refraction of light.
    3. The effect of scattering of light in colloids or suspensions is known as Doppler Effect.


    Which of the given statements is/are incorrect?
  • Question 11/15
    1 / -0.33

    Which of the following statements is/are correct?

    1. UV rays don't produce heating effect while infrared rays produce heating effect.
    2. Infrared rays are used for detecting forged bank notes.
  • Question 12/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:

    (1) The photocopy machines emit UV radiations which can cause eye problems.

    (2) UV radiations can be used to determine the temperature of objects, which is known as thermography.

    (3) CT scan uses computer-processed X-rays and generates a three-dimensional image of specific areas of the body.

    Which of the given statements is/are true?

    Solutions

    Statement (1) is correct. The photocopy machines emit UV radiations, which can cause eye problems.

    Statement (2) is wrong. Infrared thermography (IRT), thermal imaging, and thermal video are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermographic cameras usually detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9,000–14,000 nanometers or 9–14 µm) and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms.

    Statement (3) is correct. CT scan uses computer-processed X- rays and generates a three-dimensional image of specific areas of the body.

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 13/15
    1 / -0.33

    The wavefront due to a source situated at infinity is:

    Solutions

    When you considered it a large distance and measuring the justice Mall section of it then it can be considered to be a plane wavefront source at Infinity 

    For example, the one coming from the sun to earth surface is considered to be plain VU friend from light diverging from a point source will be spherical

    So, the wavefront due to a source situated at infinity is planar.

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 14/15
    1 / -0.33

    When a pebble is dropped into a pond of still water, what happens?

    Solutions

    When a pebble is thrown in still water, a circular pattern of alternate crests spread out. The kinetic energy makes the particles oscillate which comes in contact with it. The energy gets transferred to the particles of the next layer which also begins to oscillate. Thus it is the disturbance or waves that move forward and not the particles of the medium.

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 15/15
    1 / -0.33

    Consider the following statements:
    1. The least distance of distinct vision for a healthy human eye is 50 cm.
    2. The time difference between actual sunset and the apparent sunset is about 2 minutes.
