Correct Answer: Samuel Beckett
Correct Answer: Literature and Journalism
Correct Answer: Dada Saheb
Correct Answer: Abdul Ghaffar khan
Correct Answer: Magsaysay

Correct Answer: To provide power to essential equipment
Explanation:
UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply. Examples of equipment that may require a UPS supply are computers, fire detection systems, hospital operating theatre equipment and escape route lighting.
Correct Answer: Force
Explanation:
The term EMF, or Electromotive Force, its use now in decline, is attributed to Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827). Today we generally use the term "voltage" - can you guess why we call it that?
Correct Answer: Amplitude modulation
Explanation:
Amplitude modulation was the first type to be used in radio. It works well with HF and morse code.
Correct Answer: Spontaneous emission
Explanation:
Spontaneous emission is what you see with most "glow in the dark" toys. You excite the toy by exposing it to bright light, then the toy glows in the dark by spontaneously emitting photons as the excited atoms relax back down to their normal state.
