Correct Answer: wooden hollow pipe placed in vacuum
Explanation:
Sound is a kind of energy created when something vibrates. When this vibration reaches an ear, it is translated into what we recognize as a sound. Sound vibration must travel through matter. Therefore, it can travel through air and water but not through vacuum.
Correct Answer: Doping
Correct Answer: 32
Correct Answer: Speed
Correct Answer: Hygrometer
Correct Answer: 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
There are two conditions that must be met for an object to be in equilibrium. The first condition is that the net force on the object must be zero for the object to be in equilibrium. If net force is zero, then net force along any direction is zero.
Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of motion, and kinetic energy is not always conserved in a collision
Energy and momentum are always conserved.
Correct Answer: 3 and 4 only
Explanation:
An electric fuse is a device which is used to limit the current in an electric circuit. The fuse safeguards the circuit and the electrical appliances from being damaged.
The fuse wire is generally an alloy of lead and tin. It has a low melting point and breaks the circuit if the current exceeds a safe value. The thickness and length of the fuse wire depends on the maximum current allowed through the circuit.
It is connected in series in the beginning of the electric circuits.
If too many electrical appliances of high power rating (like electric iron, water heater etc) are switched on at the same time, they draw an extremely large current from the circuit. This condition is called overloading and it can cause overheating of the wiring and lead to a fire. (heating effect and magnitude of the current)
Correct Answer: Expansion and compression of the air
Explanation:
Application of temperature changes in the atmosphere is in adiabatics, or temperature change which are caused by compressing or allowing air to expand.
Correct Answer: Clouds which do not extend beyond the freezing level
Explanation:
In colder clouds: droplets formed by Bergeron mechanism. But, in many parts of the world the air is too warm for ice crystals to form. This being the case, rain and snow cannot develop following the Bergeron Process. Instead, tiny droplets form as they collide into one another creating larger and larger droplet, this is known as collision-coalescence process. So, warmer clouds are associated with this keyword.
Correct Answer: diffraction
