Solutions

S1.Ans. (a)
Sol. Ultraviolet waves are used for detecting fake and forged currency. The paper currency has a strip that is embedded in the note. This strip cannot be forged like that in the original currency. So, to check for detecting forgery in currency notes, Ultraviolet waves are used.

S2.Ans. (a)
Sol. Concave mirror is used in headlights of vehicles, because it focuses light from the bulb onto nearby vehicles.

S3.Ans. (b)
Sol. Vtiral Information Resources Under Siege.

S4.Ans. (a)
Sol. X-rays are types of electromagnetic radiation probably most well-known for their ability to see through a person’s skin and reveal images of the bones beneath it. X-rays carries the maximum energy per photon.

S5.Ans. (a)
Sol. Human eye is a refracting system containing a diverging lens.

S6.Ans. (d)
Sol. Ultrasonic waves cannot get reflected, refracted or absorbed, Ultrasonic waves are used to detect the presence of defects like cracks, porosity, etc. in the internal structure of common structure materials, Ultrasonic waves can be used for making holes in very hard materials like diamond.

S7.Ans. (b)
Sol. Binary 111= (1× 22) + (1 × 21) + (1 × 20) = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7

S8.Ans. (d)
Sol. An optical illusion which occurs mainly in deserts about during hot summer is based on the principle of Total internal reflection. On a very hot day in desert, the air just in contact with sand is hotter than the air above it due to the high temperature of the sand. This causes the refractive index of the air in contact with the sand to be lower than that of the air above it.

S9.Ans. (d)
Sol. Magnification decreases with the increase in focal length of eyepiece.

S10.Ans. (a)
Sol. Clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter, slit particles are from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in diameter and sand ranges from 0.05 to 2.0 mm. Particles larger than 0.2 mm are called gravel or stones.
