- Question
For accurate scientific work, temperatures are often measured by
Options- A. mercury thermometers
- B. alcohol thermometers
- C. platinum resistance thermometers
- D. thermoelectric thermometers
- Correct Answer
- platinum resistance thermometers
ExplanationThe resistance of metallic conductors e.g, platinum, increases with rise of temperature . The increase in temperature results in a decrease of current which can be recorded in a galvanometer if the conductor is included in an electrical circuit. Thus the temperature can be known; platinum resistance thermometer is used generally for accurate scientific work. When two dissimilar metals are joined at the ends, and these ends are subjected to a difference of temperature, a current flows through the metals. Greater the difference of temperature , greater the current. So the curent strength can form the basis for measuring the difference in temperature. And when one of these temperatures is known, we can calculate the other.

Correct Answer: the gun recoils with the same momentum as the bullet
Explanation:
Newton's III law involved
Correct Answer: Angle
Explanation:
Kelvin is used to measure Temperature,
Candela is used to measure Intensity of flame,
Steredian is used to measure Solid Angle.
Correct Answer: collision between fast neutrons and nitrogen nuclei present in the atmosphere
Correct Answer: will increase
Explanation:
When the piece of iron is lowered into the water, the water level in the bucket increases. And so the pressure at the bottom of bucket also increases. Thus the total thrust at bottom also increases. Therefore the spring balance reading increases. Thus (a) is correct.
Correct Answer: less than
Explanation:
This orbital velocity at the moon is less because orbital velocity =
where 'r ' is the orbital radius. i.e the distance of the body from the center of the earth and 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity on the body in question. In the case of the moon, both r and g are less than in the case of the earth.
Correct Answer: rough black
Explanation:
Black surfaces are good emitters of heat. If the black surface is rough too, the emitting will be better. Shinning surfaces reflect black radiation . So if the black surface is also shining the effectiveness of emitting heat is lessened.
Correct Answer: An electric arc is a visible plasma discharge between two electrodes that is caused by electrical current ionizing gasses in the air Electric arcs occur in nature in the form of lightning
Correct Answer: Saturn
Explanation:
Saturn, the solar system's second largest planet that takes the prize for least dense. It's less dense than water, which has led many people to postulate that it would float.
However, even if it somehow found its way to a body of water large and deep enough to contain it, Saturn would break apart and its rocky core would sink.
Correct Answer: atrial depolarization
Explanation:
The P wave in the ECG represents atrial depolarization, which results in atrial contraction, or atrial systole.
The P wave is a summation wave generated by the depolarization front as it transits the atria.
Correct Answer: Magma is injected into surrounding rock forming an igneous intrusive
Explanation:
Magma is injected into surrounding rock forming an igneous intrusive.
Actually it is a plutonic formation in which magma present beneath Earth surface deforms the shape of rocks present above it
