- Question
When the Sun is near the horizon during the morning or evening, it appears reddish. The phenomenon that is responsible forth is observation is
Options- A. reflection of light
- B. refraction of light
- C. dispersion of light
- D. scattering of light
- Correct Answer
- scattering of light
ExplanationAccording to Rayleigh's law, the intensity of scattered light varies inversely as the fourth power of its wavelength. Sunlight consists of seven colours. Of these, red has the maximum wavelength. During sunrise and sunset, the rays have to travel a larger part of the atmosphere because they are very close to the horizon.Therefore, light other than red is mostly scattered away. Most of the red light, which is the least scattered, enters our eyes. Hence, the sun and the sky appear red.

Correct Answer: 5R/4
Explanation:
So, resistance of Wire 2 is R/4 as radius is half of wire 1, so area would be 4 times of wire 1.
Now for resistance in series. R= R1 + R2.
Therefore, Final R= R + R/4 = 5R/4
Correct Answer: Both Refraction and Total internal reflection of light
Correct Answer: diffraction
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: 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: > P
Explanation:
Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10?8 ? m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 ?.m.So, since resistivity of aluminium is higher than that of copper, so Power dissipated will be greater than P. this is because rest of the factors (l, A and i) are constant.
Correct Answer: Pascal?s law
Explanation:
Pascal's law is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.
This principle is stated mathematically as: P= P + rgh
Correct Answer: Solar cell panel
Correct Answer: Newton's third law
Correct Answer: Electromagnetic waves do not show interference and diffraction.
