- Question
Two identical solid pieces, one of gold and other of silver, when immersed completely in water exhibit equal weights. When weighed in air (given that density of gold is greater than that of silver)
Options- A. the gold piece will weigh more
- B. the silver piece will weighmore
- C. both silver and gold pieces weigh equal
- D. weighing will depend on their masses
- Correct Answer
- the silver piece will weighmore
ExplanationAs it is said that density of gold is greater than that of density of silver, so silver occupies a greater volume than gold. So it has more upthrust from the water, although they both show the same weight under water, there is more silver present. Hence silver piece will weigh more.

Correct Answer: homogeneous and transparent
Explanation:
In vacuum and in homogeneous, transparent media, such as air, water, and glass, light moves in a straight line. When light encounters a boundary between two different transparent media, some light is reflected and some moves from the first into the second medium.
Correct Answer: ferromagnetic property
Explanation:
On the basis of magnetic properties, substances are classified into three groups namely diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.
As solids diffuse and reorder very slowly under ambient conditions, the net, directionally dependent (anisotropic) magnetic moment can persist. Conversely, liquids and gases freely tumble and reorder: water rearranges every few pico seconds (10^12 times per second).
Hence liquids and gases can never show ferromagnetic properties.
Correct Answer: 10 MeV
Explanation:
A photon?s relativistic momentum is given by the equation,E = pc where p is the momentum.
P = 10 MeV/c
So, E = 10 MeV
Correct Answer: denser to rarer medium and it occurs with no loss of intensity
Explanation:
According to wave theories, for Total internal reflection tohappen: Light must travel from denser medium to rarer medium. Angle of incidence should be greater than critical angle. As in case of TIR, the image is perfectly clear, it implies that there has been no loss of intensity.
Correct Answer: The sensitivity of the human ear does not vary with the frequency of the sound.
Explanation:
The human ear can respond to minute pressure variations inthe air if they are in the audible frequency range, roughly 20 Hz -20 kHz. In fact, tests conducted show an increased sensitivity in the 3000 Hz range which is the optimal amplification frequency in the human ear. So, the sensitivity of the human ear varies with the frequency of the sound.
Correct Answer: lUV < lVIS < lIR
Explanation:
Infrared radiation, what we experience as heat when we hold our hand near a warm object, is somewhat longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light is simply electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to. Visible wavelengths range from 0.0007 milimeters for red light, through orange, yellow, green, and blue, to 0.0004 milimeters for violet light. Ultraviolet is shorter wavelengths than violet.
Longer the wavelength,lower the energy
Correct Answer: Ve > Vp
Explanation:
Both when accelerated through a potential difference of 100KV, they will have the same energy. The mass of the electron is less than the mass of a proton, hence it will move faster(momentum).
Correct Answer: 1 and 4 only
Explanation:
Q and w are path functions while q+w i.e. H, enthalpy is state function. Similarly, H-TS i.e. G, Gibbs free energy is state function.
Correct Answer: 546 K
Explanation:
T = 273 °K
Using the formula,
DGq = DHq ?TDS
-45 = -90 ?273 DS
DS = 0.164
Now since DHq and DSq are independent,T2= DH/DS = 45/0.164 = 273°K
Required Temp = 273 + 273 = 546°K
Correct Answer: Psinq sina
Explanation:
The Cartesian Coordinates can be retrieved from spherical coordinates (l,q,a) by:
X = r.sinq.cosa
Y = r.sinq.sina
Z = r.sinq
Using the same we get for P,
Y = P.sinq.sina
