- Question
Which of the following is not a transverse wave?
Options- A. Light waves
- B. Radio waves
- C. Sound waves
- D. All the above
- Correct Answer
- Sound waves
ExplanationLight and Radio waves are both different frequency/wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of two components electric and magnetic of perpendicular, transverse waves.
Sound, on the other hand, is a longitudinal wave which oscillates parallel to it's medium (back and forth instead of up and down). - 1. Decibel is the unit of
Options- A. speed of light
- B. intensity of sound
- C. intensity of heat
- D. None of these Discuss

Correct Answer: intensity of sound
Correct Answer: Planetary Motion
Explanation:
Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun.
(1) All planets move about the Sun in elliptical orbits, having the Sun as one of the foci.
(2) A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.
(3) The squares of the sidereal periods (of revolution) of the planets are directly proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from the Sun.
Correct Answer: inertia
Explanation:
Flows out of Newton's first law of motion.
Correct Answer: remain the same
Explanation:
The submerged portion of the ice on melting shrinks a little in volume. so the level of water goes down a little.But this is just made up by the water added by the melting of upper portion. Addition is equal to the Shrinkage. Hence level is unchanged.
Correct Answer: Thunder
Explanation:
The Sound Following the flash of lighting is because of Thunder.
Lightning is seen earlier than thunder because light travels much faster than sound.
The roar of thunder is the result of a shock wave produced when lightning super-heats the air through which it passes, causing that air to expand very rapidly. This rapid expansion of air creates a shock wave that travels outward at close to the speed of sound.
Correct Answer: 2k1k2/k1+k2
Explanation:
We know that,
The equivalent K =
where L1 & L2 are plate1 & Plate2 thicknesses, K1 & K2 are coefficient thermal conductivity of plate1 & Plate2 respectively.
But here L1 = L2 = L (say)
Then K = L+L/(L/K1 + L/K2) =
Correct Answer: all of the above
Correct Answer: Band width
Explanation:
The path that data takes from source to destination is called a Channel. A channel is a communication medium. A channel has a certain capacity for transmitting information.
The "capacity" of a channel is the theoretical upper-limit to the bit rate over a given channel that will result in negligible errors. Channel capacity is often measured by its Bandwidth in Hz or its data rate in bits per second.
Correct Answer: liquid dispersed in gas
Correct Answer: Rainfall
Explanation:
Barometer is instrument which is used to measure to pressure. A slow downfall of reading suggests a low pressure area is passing in a nearby region, it may rains. If the reading is going down very fast then its an indication of storm (within 5-6 hours).
