- Question
At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and celcius scales give the same reading?
Options- A. 212 degrees
- B. 32 degreees
- C. -40 degreees
- D. 0 degreees
- Correct Answer
- -40 degreees
ExplanationWe want the temperature when F=C.
We know that,
So substituting C For F, we have C =
Therefore, C = -40.
Thus when C = -40, we have C = F

Correct Answer: Cosmic rays
Correct Answer: real and inverted
Explanation:
Although the image is inverted the mental interpretation of the effect on the retina is as though it is erect
Correct Answer: the specific heat capacity of A is less than that of B
Correct Answer: Moment of force
Correct Answer: there will always be water just beneath the ice level
Explanation:
Water has the maximum density at . So at this temperature, it sinks down to bottom and stays here. If it cools further, it will become less dense and move up. So while the upper layers can cool enough to form ice, the bottom layers remain as water at .
Therefore, (C) is correct.
Correct Answer: total internal reflection
Correct Answer: the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things
Explanation:
The size of the pupil of the eye automatically adjusts itself according to the intensity of light passing through it;if the intensity is more , the size is less, if less, it is more. So in our case the pupil should dilate i.e, increase in size to be able to see in the dark . This switchover takes sometime. But here the entry into the dark room is immediate . So the eye has no time to adjust itself and hence is not able to see at all for a while.
Correct Answer: Both (and (B)
Explanation:
Quality of transmission is governed both by nature of signal and nature of communication channel/medium.
Correct Answer: cinema projectors
Correct Answer: steradian
