Physics problems
- 1. When a bottle of perfume is opened in one corner of a room the smell spreads soon throughout the room. This is an example of
Options- A. surface tension
- B. capillarity
- C. viscosity
- D. diffusion Discuss
Correct Answer: diffusion
Explanation:
Diffusion is the spreading - mixing of gases through molecular motion.
- 2. It is more difficult to walk on ice than on a concrete road because
Options- A. there is very little friction between the ice and feet pressing it
- B. ice is soft when compared to concrete
- C. there is more friction between the ice and feer
- D. None of these Discuss
Correct Answer: there is very little friction between the ice and feet pressing it
Explanation:
It is the friction between the feet and the ground that helps us to walk. Without this friction we would slip and fall
- 3. A solid ball of metal has a spherical cavity inside it. When the ball is heated the volume of the cavity will
Options- A. increase
- B. decrease
- C. remain unaffected
- D. have its shape changed Discuss
Correct Answer: increase
Explanation:
The metal ball can be considered to be made up of several layers of thinner ones. On heating each of these layers will increase in radius. As the inner most layer also increases its radius, the volume inside it i.e, the volume of the hollow portion will also increase.
- 4. What is the SI unit of pressure
Options- A. Pascal
- B. Dyne
- C. Newton
- D. Jule Discuss
Correct Answer: Pascal
- 5. Ultrasonic waves are used for stirring liquid solutions because they
Options- A. do not produce noise during the operation
- B. are easy to produce
- C. can produce perfectly homogeneous solutions
- D. do not produce chemical reactions in the solution Discuss
Correct Answer: can produce perfectly homogeneous solutions
- 6. The core of an electromagnet is made of soft iron because soft iron has
Options- A. small susceptibility and small retentivity
- B. large susceptibility and small retentivity
- C. large density and large retentivity
- D. small density and large retentivity Discuss
Correct Answer: large susceptibility and small retentivity
- 7. Formation of shadows can be explained by
Options- A. rectilinear propagation of light
- B. reflection
- C. refraction
- D. total internal reflection Discuss
Correct Answer: rectilinear propagation of light
Explanation:
In this position, the head light will be at the principal focus so that the rays of light falling on the cancave mirror will be rendered parallel
- 8. Air pressure is usually highest when the air is
Options- A. warm and moist
- B. cool and dry
- C. warm and dry
- D. cool and moist Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: cool and moist
- 9. The basic reason for the extraordinary sparkle of suitably cut diamond is that
Options- A. it has well defined cleavage planes
- B. it has a very high transparency
- C. it has a very high refractive index
- D. it is very hard Discuss
Correct Answer: it has a very high refractive index
- 10. The minimum number of Non zero non collinear vectors required to produce a zero vector is
Options- A. 3
- B. 2
- C. 4
- D. 1 Discuss
Correct Answer: 3
