A)
Iron
B)
Brass
C)
Tungsten
D)
Nichrome

Correct Answer :   Nichrome

Nichrome: Most resistance wire heating elements usually use nichrome 80/20 (80% Nickel, 20% Chromium) wire, ribbon, or strip. Nichrome 80/20 is an ideal material, because it has relatively high resistance and forms an adherent layer of chromium oxide when it is heated for the first time.

A)

Dispersed radiation
B)
Stimulated radiation
C)
Scattered radiation
D)

A)
Of the friction in the coil
B)
Days in summer are large
C)
The weight of the pendulum changes
D)
The length of the pendulum increases

Correct Answer :   The length of the pendulum increases

During summer, length of pendulum increases due to which the time period T increases and pendulum takes more time to complete one oscillation. Thus it becomes slow in summer.

A)
Jena glass
B)
Crookes glass
C)
Pyrex glass
D)

A)
hormones
B)
vitamins
C)
enzymes
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer :   enzymes

A)
small angle
B)
right angle
C)
large angle
D)
None of the above

Correct Answer :   small angle

The earth receives energy from the Sun in the form of radiation . The Earth reflects about 30% of the incoming solar radiation. In polar areas, solar radiation strikes earth at a low angle. The more acute the angle at which the sunlight strikes, the more atmosphere that sunlight must pass through.

A)
Continental rise
B)
Submarine ridges
C)
Continental shelf
D)
Abyssal plains

Correct Answer :   Continental shelf

Continental Shelf is a gentle seaward sloping surface extending from the coasts towards the open sea. In all, about 7.5% of the total area of the oceans is covered by the continental shelves.
