Pick out the wrong statement pertaining to 'green house' for the plants.
Options- A. 'Green house' (made of glass) allows visible sunlight (i.e., short wavelength solar radiation like ultra-violet rays) to pass through the glass and heat up the soil thereby warming up plants inside it.
- B. The emitted longer wavelength radiation (e.g., infrared) is partly reflected and partly absorbed by the glass of the green house.
- C. 'Green house effect' in earth's atmosphere is due to increasing CO2 level in atmosphere. where CO2 acts like the glass of 'green house' thereby warming up the earth's surface.
- D. 'Green house' is colder than the outside atmosphere.
- Correct Answer
- 'Green house' is colder than the outside atmosphere.
- 1. The type of bacteria which is active in trickling filter during biological treatment of sewage is the __________ bacteria.
Options- A. anaerobic
- B. saphrophytic
- C. aerobic
- D. parasitic Discuss
- 2. Direct reaction of unsaturated hydrocarbons with either NO or NO2 produces an eye irritating pollutant compound known as
Options- A. photochemical smog.
- B. peroxy acetyl nitrate (PAN) or methyl nitrile.
- C. benzopyrene.
- D. poly acrylonitrile Discuss
- 3. Higher concentration of CO2 in atmosphere
Options- A. allows visible solar radiation (ultraviolet) of short wave-length to pass through.
- B. reflects and absorbs the longer wavelength (infra-red) radiations.
- C. prevents solar heat being radiated out completely, resulting in 'heat trap' i.e., global warming.
- D. all (a), (b) and (c). Discuss
- 4. High noise level in a chemical plant can be controlled by the
