Q:

Electrostatic precipitator is used to control

A) Water pollution B) Noise pollution
C) Air pollution D) Solid waste
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Air pollution

Explanation:

Electrostatic precipitator is used to control Air pollution. An electrostatic precipitator is a filtration device that removes fine particles, like dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge minimally impeding the flow of gases through the unit.

Q:

Visible light has a higher frequency than

A) Radio waves B) X rays
C) Ultra violet D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Radio waves

Explanation:

Radio waves have much longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than do visible light waves. In contrast, X-rays have much shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. 

Ultraviolet Light (UV). part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with frequencies higher than those of visible light and lower than those of x-rays.

Q:

Refractive Index of glass with respect to water is

A) 4/3 B) 9/8
C) 2/3 D) 8/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8/9

Explanation:

Refractive Index of glass with respect to water can be calculated by 

(Refractive Index of glass with respect to air) × (1/Refractive Index of water with respect to air)

 

We know that,

Refractive Index of glass with respect to air = 4/3

Refractive index of water with respect to air = 3/2

 

Hence, Refractive Index of glass with respect to water = (4/3) x (2/3) = 8/9.

Q:

The spring constant of a spring depends on its

A) length only B) material only
C) length and its diameter D) thickness, its diameter and its material
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) thickness, its diameter and its material

Explanation:

In dealing with a coil spring the spring constant will depend on the stiffness of the spring material, the thicknessof the wire from which the spring is wound and, diameterof the turns of the coil, the number of turns per unit length and the overall length of the spring.
