Which of the following defines the direction of induced emf?
Ampere’s law
Fleming’s right-hand rule
Fleming’s left-hand rule
Maxwell’s cork screw law
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
From Fleming’s Right Hand Rule, there is a definite relation among current or induced e.m.f. (electromotive force), lines of force and motion of the conductor. Fleming’s Right Hand Rule states that—For a moving wire in a magnetic field, if the thumb, the first and second fingers of right hand are extended at right angles to one another, with the first finger representing the direction of magnetic lines of force and the second finger representing the direction of current flow induced by the wire’s motion, the thumb will be pointing in the direction of motion of the wire.

Sound waves in air are
transverse
longitudinal
electromagnetic
polarised
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport.

Light travels at the fastest speed in
glass
water
hydrogen
vacuum
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), and in theory nothing can travel faster than light. In miles per hour,light speed is, well, a lot: about 670,616,629 mph. If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second.

Optical fibre works on the
principle of refraction
total internal reflection
scattering
interference
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
An optical fiber is a cylindrical dielectric waveguide (nonconducting waveguide) that transmits light along its axis, by the process of total internal reflection. Thefiber consists of a core surrounded by a cladding layer, both of which are made of dielectric materials.

Rainbow is due to
absorption of sunlight in minute water droplets
diffusion of sunlight through water droplets
ionisation of water deposits
refraction and reflection of sunlight by water droplets
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that iscaused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused bysunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun

Mach number is used in connection with the speed of
sound
aircraft
spacecraft
ships
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
aircraft- The local speed of sound, and thereby the Mach number, depends on the condition of the surrounding medium, in particular the temperature. The Mach number is primarily used to determine the approximation with which a flow can be treated as an incompressible flow.

Which of the following Law gives a relation between the colour and temperature of a star?
Graham’s Law
Wean’s Displacement Law
Charle’s Law
Planck’s Law
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option BExplanation
Wean’s Displacement Law- Stars emit colors of many different wavelengths, but the wavelength of light where astar’s emission is concentrated is related to the star’s temperature – the hotter thestar, the more blue it is; the cooler the star, the more red it is

Why is the water from a hand-pump warm in winter?
The temperature inside the Earth is higher than the atmospheric temperature
The water as it comes absorbs heat from the atmosphere
Our body temperature is cold so water feels hot
It is warm because of the friction produced during pumping process
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
The temperature inside the Earth is higher than the atmospheric temperature- Why is the water from a hand pump warm in winter and cold in summer ? Inwinter the outside temperature is lower than that of water flowing out of the pump, and therefore , the water feels warm. Whereas in summer, the outside temperature is higher than the water of the pump, and therefore, it feels cold

Hydraulic Brakes work on the principal of
Pascal’s Principle
Archimedes Principle
Newton’s Laws
Cassini’s Laws
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
The principle behind any hydraulic system is simple: forces that are applied at one point are transmitted to another point by means of an incompressible fluid. As is common in hydraulics the initial force which is applied to operate the system is multiplied in the process.

Why do we use mercury instead of water in a barometer?
Low density and low vapor pressure
High density and high vapor pressure
Low density and good conductor of heat
High density and low vapor pressure
Answer with explanation
Answer: Option DExplanation
Mercury is commonly used in barometers because its high density means the height of the column can be a reasonable size to measure atmospheric pressure. A barometer using water, for instance, would need to be 13.6 times taller than a mercury barometer to obtain the same pressure difference.

Answer with explanation
Answer: Option AExplanation
It is the unit of distance. Parallactic second is nothing but what we call “Parsec”. Parsec is the distance that subtends an arc of 1 second, i.e., 1′’ with 1 Astronomical unit.
