Who made these remarks - time is what a clock reads
- A.
Newton
- B.
CV Raman
- C.
Einstein
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
C. EinsteinExplanation
The correct answer is Einstein because he made the famous statement that "time is what a clock reads." This statement reflects Einstein's theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of time and space. According to Einstein, time is not an absolute concept but is relative to the observer's frame of reference. This means that time can be experienced differently depending on factors such as gravity and velocity. Einstein's theory has had a profound impact on the field of physics and has been confirmed by numerous experiments and observations.Rate this question:

- B.
Heat
- C.
Elementary particles
- D.
Sound
Correct Answer
C. Elementary particlesExplanation
Classical physics, as a branch of physics developed before the 20th century, focused on macroscopic phenomena and did not include the study of elementary particles. Instead, it primarily dealt with mechanics, heat, and sound, which are all macroscopic phenomena. The study of elementary particles emerged with the development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century, which revolutionized our understanding of the microscopic world. Therefore, elementary particles were not considered within the scope of classical physics.Rate this question:

Optical fibers are based on -
- A.
Total internal reflection
- B.
Refraction
- C.
Dispersion
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Total internal reflectionExplanation
Optical fibers are based on total internal reflection. This phenomenon occurs when light traveling through a medium with a higher refractive index encounters a boundary with a medium of lower refractive index at an angle greater than the critical angle. Instead of refracting out of the medium, the light is reflected back into it. This principle is utilized in optical fibers to guide and transmit light signals over long distances with minimal loss of signal strength.Rate this question:

The dimensions of a/b in the relation F= ax + bt are
- A.
LT-1
- B.
L-1T
- C.
LT
- D.
L-1T-1
Correct Answer
B. L-1TExplanation
The dimensions of a/b in the relation F = ax + bt can be determined by analyzing the units of each term in the equation. The term ax represents a distance (L) multiplied by a force (LT-2), resulting in a force (LT-1). Similarly, the term bt represents a time (T) multiplied by a force (LT-2), resulting in a force (LT-1). Therefore, when we divide a/b, the dimensions cancel out and we are left with a dimension of L-1T.Rate this question:

When a screw gauge is completely closed, zero of circular scale is 4 divisions below the reference line of graduation. If least count of screw gauge is 0.001 cm, the zero correction is -
- A.
- 0.004 cm
- B.
+ 0.004 cm
- C.
- 0.004 mm
- D.
+ 0.004 mm
Correct Answer
A. - 0.004 cmExplanation
The zero of the circular scale being 4 divisions below the reference line means that the screw gauge is not properly calibrated. The least count of the screw gauge is 0.001 cm, which means that each division of the circular scale represents 0.001 cm. Since the zero is 4 divisions below the reference line, the zero correction would be 4 divisions multiplied by the least count, which is 4 * 0.001 cm = 0.004 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is - 0.004 cm.Rate this question:

What is percentage of error in the measurment of time period of a pendulum if maximum error in the measurment of l and g are 2% and 4% respectively?
- A.
6%
- B.
4%
- C.
3%
- D.
5%
Correct Answer
C. 3%Explanation
The percentage of error in the measurement of the time period of a pendulum can be calculated by taking into account the maximum errors in the measurement of l (length of the pendulum) and g (acceleration due to gravity). Since the maximum error in the measurement of l is 2% and the maximum error in the measurement of g is 4%, the total error can be calculated as the sum of the individual errors, which is 2% + 4% = 6%. To calculate the percentage of error in the time period, we divide the total error by the sum of l and g, which is 6% / 200% = 3%. Therefore, the correct answer is 3%.Rate this question:

The dimension of impulse are equal to that of
- A.
Pressure
- B.
Linear momentum
- C.
Force
- D.
Angular momentum
Correct Answer
B. Linear momentumExplanation
The dimension of impulse is equal to that of linear momentum because both quantities are related to the change in momentum of an object. Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object, which is equal to the product of the force applied to the object and the time interval over which the force is applied. Linear momentum, on the other hand, is a measure of the quantity of motion of an object and is equal to the product of the mass and velocity of the object. Since both impulse and linear momentum involve the change in momentum, their dimensions are the same.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 1 mExplanation
The molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. In this case, the solute is HCl gas and the solvent is water. To find the molality, we need to first calculate the number of moles of HCl gas. The molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol. Therefore, the number of moles of HCl gas is 18.25 g / 36.46 g/mol = 0.5 mol. Next, we need to calculate the mass of the water in kilograms, which is 500 g / 1000 = 0.5 kg. Finally, we can calculate the molality by dividing the number of moles of HCl gas by the mass of the water in kilograms: 0.5 mol / 0.5 kg = 1 m.Rate this question:

0.1 mole of carbohydrate with empirical formula CH2O contains 1 g of hydrogen. What is its molecular formula?
- A.
C5H10O5
- B.
C6H12O6
- C.
C4H8O4
- D.
C3H6O3
Correct Answer
A. C5H10O5Explanation
The empirical formula of the carbohydrate is CH2O, meaning it contains one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. Since it is given that 1 gram of hydrogen is present, we can calculate the molar mass of hydrogen and compare it to the molar mass of the carbohydrate. The molar mass of hydrogen is approximately 1 g/mol, which means that 1 gram of hydrogen is equal to 1 mole of hydrogen atoms. Since there are 0.1 moles of the carbohydrate, the molar mass of the carbohydrate must be approximately 10 g/mol. By dividing the molar mass of the carbohydrate by the molar mass of the empirical formula (30 g/mol), we find that the molecular formula is C5H10O5.Rate this question:

Reproductive isolation
Correct Answer
D. Reproductive isolationExplanation
The biological concept of species is mainly based on reproductive isolation. Reproductive isolation refers to the barriers that prevent individuals from different populations or species from interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. This concept recognizes that species are distinct biological units that are reproductively isolated from one another. While morphology and methods of reproduction can also play a role in defining species, reproductive isolation is considered the primary factor in determining whether two populations or groups of organisms belong to the same species or not.Rate this question:

Absorption of water by plant cells by surface attraction is called
- A.
Diffusion
- B.
Osmosis
- C.
Imbibition
- D.
Endosmosis
Correct Answer
C. ImbibitionExplanation
Imbibition is the correct answer because it refers to the process of absorption of water by plant cells due to surface attraction. During imbibition, water molecules are attracted to the cell walls and other surfaces within the plant cells, causing them to be absorbed. This process is important for the hydration and functioning of plant cells. Diffusion refers to the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, and endosmosis refers to the inward movement of water into a cell.Rate this question:

During telophase the
- A.
Nuclear membrane is formed
- B.
Nucleolus appear
- C.
Astral rays disappear
- D.
All of these
Correct Answer
D. All of theseExplanation
During telophase, which is the final stage of mitosis, several important events occur. The nuclear membrane reforms around the separated sets of chromosomes, enclosing them within individual nuclei. The nucleolus, which was dispersed during earlier stages of mitosis, reappears within the newly formed nuclei. Additionally, the astral rays, which are microtubules that help position the spindle apparatus during cell division, disappear. Therefore, all of the given options are correct as they accurately describe the events that take place during telophase.Rate this question:

Cell component visible only during cell division
- A.
Mitochondria
- B.
Chloroplast
- C.
Chromosome
- D.
Chromatin
Correct Answer
C. ChromosomeExplanation
Chromosomes are visible only during cell division. They are structures made up of DNA and proteins that carry genetic information. During cell division, chromosomes condense and become visible under a microscope. They play a crucial role in the accurate distribution of genetic material to the daughter cells. Outside of cell division, chromosomes are not visible as they are in a less condensed state called chromatin. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles involved in energy production and are visible throughout the cell cycle.Rate this question:
