Physics problems
- 1. Which of the following has the highest frequency?
Options- A. Cosmic rays
- B. X-rays
- C. Radio waves
- D. Microwaves Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, IT Trainer
Correct Answer: Cosmic rays
- 2. At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and celcius scales give the same reading?
Options- A. 212 degrees
- B. 32 degreees
- C. -40 degreees
- D. 0 degreees Also asked in: CAT, AIEEE, Bank PO
Correct Answer: -40 degreees
Explanation:
We want the temperature when F=C.
We know that,
So substituting C For F, we have C =
Therefore, C = -40.
Thus when C = -40, we have C = F
- 3. Optical fiber works on the principle of
Options- A. Scattering
- B. interference
- C. total internal reflection
- D. refraction Also asked in: GATE, CAT, Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk, Analyst
Correct Answer: total internal reflection
- 4. When one enters a dark room after being in bright light one is not able to see anything clearly for a while because
Options- A. the retina of the eye moves forward
- B. the retina of the eye moves backward
- C. the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things
- D. the eye has no power of accommodation Discuss
Correct Answer: the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things
Explanation:
The size of the pupil of the eye automatically adjusts itself according to the intensity of light passing through it;if the intensity is more , the size is less, if less, it is more. So in our case the pupil should dilate i.e, increase in size to be able to see in the dark . This switchover takes sometime. But here the entry into the dark room is immediate . So the eye has no time to adjust itself and hence is not able to see at all for a while.
- 5. Quality of transmission depends upon
Options- A. Nature of signal only
- B. Nature of medium only
- C. Both (A) and (B)
- D. Neither A nor B Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Both (and (B)
Explanation:
Quality of transmission is governed both by nature of signal and nature of communication channel/medium.
- 6. Carbon Arc lamps are commonly used in
Options- A. cinema projectors
- B. photography
- C. vehicles
- D. domestic lighting Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: cinema projectors
- 7. Unit of solid angle is
Options- A. degree
- B. radian
- C. steradian
- D. radian second Discuss
Correct Answer: steradian
- 8. Which of the following is a scalar quantity
Options- A. electric current
- B. electric field
- C. Acceleration
- D. linear momentum Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: electric current
Explanation:
A Scalar quantity is a quantity that has only magnitude but no direction as like vector.
Here in the given options, electric current is the only one which is scalar.
- 9. Which of the following is the fastest communication channel?
Options- A. Microwave
- B. Optical fiber
- C. Radio wave
- D. All are operating at nearly the same propagation speed Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Microwave
Explanation:
A microwave is the fastest communication channel whereas Optical fiber is a way of transferring data not a way of communication.

Options- A. February 23
- B. February 25
- C. February 26
- D. February 28 Also asked in: Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk
Correct Answer: February 28
Explanation:
National Science Day is celebrated in India on 28 February each year to mark the discovery of the Raman effect by Indian physicist Sir Chandrashekhara Venkata Raman on 28 February 1928.
