    What is solar energy?

    • Sound energy

    • It is the radiant light and heat from the sun

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. It is the radiant light and heat from the sun
    Explanation
    Solar energy refers to the radiant light and heat emitted by the sun. It is a form of renewable energy that can be harnessed and converted into electricity or used for heating and lighting purposes. Solar energy is abundant and sustainable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. By harnessing solar energy, we can reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources and mitigate the negative impacts of climate change.

    What is this? - ProProfs

    What is this?

    • Solar box

    • Solar plate

    • Solar panel

    • Solar mirror

    Correct Answer
    A. Solar panel
    Explanation
    A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity. It is made up of multiple solar cells that are connected together. These cells absorb the sunlight and generate an electric current. The electricity produced by a solar panel can be used to power various devices or stored in batteries for later use. Solar panels are commonly used in solar energy systems to provide renewable and clean energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Using solar energy will harm the enviornment. True or false? 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because using solar energy does not harm the environment. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy that does not produce harmful emissions or pollutants. It is a clean and sustainable form of energy that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, solar panels can be recycled at the end of their lifespan, further minimizing their environmental impact.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following is the negative effect of using solar energy.

    • None of the above

    • It benefits health

    • It improves economy

    • It reduces pollution

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "None of the above" because solar energy has numerous positive effects such as reducing pollution, improving the economy, and benefiting health. Therefore, there is no negative effect associated with using solar energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Why are some disadvatages of using solar panels

    • It is expensive

    • It is not very effective at night

    • It is not very reliable

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Solar panels have several disadvantages. Firstly, they can be expensive to install and maintain, making them less accessible for some individuals or communities. Secondly, solar panels are not very effective at night or during cloudy days when there is limited sunlight, reducing their overall efficiency. Lastly, solar energy can be unreliable as it is dependent on weather conditions and geographical location. Therefore, all of the mentioned options are valid disadvantages of using solar panels.

    The estimated electricity generated of the solar panels in Hwa Chong Institution(HCI) is more than 500,000kWh. True or false?  

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because it states that the estimated electricity generated by the solar panels in Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) is more than 500,000kWh. However, the correct answer is false, indicating that the estimated electricity generated is not more than 500,000kWh.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    How does solar panels absorb solar energy?

    • By converting photons to electrons

    • By converting protons to electrons

    • By converting electrons to photons

    • By converting electrons to protons

    Correct Answer
    A. By converting photons to electrons
    Explanation
    Solar panels absorb solar energy by converting photons (particles of light) into electrons. When sunlight hits the solar panel, it excites the electrons in the panel's semiconductor material, causing them to be released from their atoms. These free electrons are then captured and channeled into an electric current, which can be used to power electrical devices or stored for later use. This process is known as the photovoltaic effect and is the fundamental principle behind the functioning of solar panels.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of these are not the positive effects of using solar energy.

    • It harms the environment

    • It increases home safety

    • It stabilizes economy

    • It reduces pollution

    Correct Answer
    A. It harms the environment
    Explanation
    The given answer states that using solar energy harms the environment. This implies that using solar energy has negative effects on the environment, contradicting the question which asks for positive effects. The other options listed in the question - increasing home safety, stabilizing the economy, and reducing pollution - all suggest positive effects of using solar energy.
