- Question
Which best describes how air moves during convection?
Options- A. cool air falls down
- B. warm air falls down
- C. cool air is replaced by warm air
- D. air always falls down
- Correct Answer
- cool air falls down
ExplanationDuring convection, cool and dense air falls through the warmer and less dense air. The warm air having less mass is being displaced by the cooler which is much heavy. Convection always involves the air rising through the atmosphere.

Correct Answer: regular
Correct Answer: 100N
Correct Answer: Positron
Correct Answer: Cymometer
Correct Answer: zero
Correct Answer: impulse
Correct Answer: falling of ultra violet rays on the white inner coating of the tube
Explanation:
The ultraviolet rays have high frequency and shorter wavelength are converted to visible white light with lower frequency and greater wave length
Correct Answer: decreasing the radius of the capillary tube
Explanation:
The water rise in a capillary tube dipped in water is such that the weight of water in the tube above the surface of water in the vessel is equal to (balances) the upward force due to surface tension. So it is clear that if the the bore (radius) to the tube is decreased, the height of the water column in it must be greater. So, (a) is correct.
Correct Answer: rough black
Explanation:
Black surfaces are good emitters of heat ( They are also good absorbers of heat). If the black surface is rough too, the emitting will be better. So (b) is the correct answer. Shining surfaces reflect back radiation. So if the black surface is also shining the effectiveness of emitting heat is lessened.
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 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 some time. 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.
