- Question
Speed of sound is maximum in which among the following?
Options- A. Gases
- B. Vaccum
- C. Liquids
- D. Solids
- Correct Answer
- Solids
ExplanationWe know that, in solids all the particles are packed together and hence sound can travel from one to one very fast.
Hence, speed of sound is maximum in solids and decreses from solids to liquids and liquids to gases. Sound can't travel through vaccum.

Correct Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the cross-sectional area, increasing the number of turns, increasing current supply, increasing the length of the coiled wire.
Correct Answer: energy can neither be created nor destroyed
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy is a law of science which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.
In 1842, Julius Robert Mayer discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Correct Answer: for cleaning procedures
Correct Answer: Frequency
Correct Answer: dark surfaces
Explanation:
Albedo refers to a material's ability to reflect sunlight. Since 30% of the sun's energy is reflected by the entire earth, the earth has an average albedo of 0.30.
Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo.
Correct Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
The highly energetic gamma particles can penetrate most compounds that stop by other types of radiation. However, lead, steel, or concrete can reduce the high energy of these particles, making them less penetrating.
Hence, Gamma radiation can be stopped by a several inches of lead or steel, or several meters of concrete.
Correct Answer: a space station orbiting Earth
Explanation:
Any moving object can exhibit kinetic energy, as kinetic energy is also known as Motional energy.
In the given options, only a space station orbiting Earth is in motion and all the other are in rest position.
Hence, option C) a space station orbiting Earth is only exhibiting kinetic energy.
Correct Answer: Phosphor Bronze
Correct Answer: liquified
Explanation:
An ideal gas cannot be liquified because forces between the molecules are negligible.
Correct Answer: Both A & B
