The twinkling of stars is due to |
The fact that stars do not emit light continuously
The refractive index of the earth's atmosphere fluctuate
Intermittent absorption of star light by its own atmosphere
None of them
|

A prism splits a beam of white light into its seven constituent colors this is so because |
Phase of different colors is different
Amplitude of different colors is different
Energy of different colors is different
Velocity of different colors is different
|
3 |
A sun rise or sun set, the sun looks reddish because. |
The sun is coldest at these times
Of the effects of reflection and refraction
The sun is hottest at these times
Of the scattering of light
|
4 |
One cannot see through fog because |
Fog absorbs light
The refractive index of fog is infinity
Light suffers total reflection at the droplet in a fog
Light is scattered by the droplets in fog
|

The distance between node and anti-node is |
λ
λ/2
λ/4
2λ

Mechanical waves on the surface of a liquid are |
Transverse
Longitudinal
Torsional
Both transverse and longitudinal

At a certain instant a stationary transverse wave is found to have maximum kinetic energy the appearance of string of that instant is: |
Sinusoidal shape with amplitude A/3
Sinusoidal shape with amplitude A/2
Sinusoidal shape with amplitude A
Straight line
|

With the propagation of a longitudinal wave through a material medium the quantities transmitted in the propagation direction are |
Energy momentum and mass
Energy
Energy and mass
Energy and linear momentum
|
10 |
If the amplitude of sound is doubled and the frequency reduced to one-fourth the intensity of sound at the same point will be |
Increasing by a factor of 2
Decreasing by a factor of 2
Decreasing by a factor of 4
Unchanged
