[3] Transition ions absorb light in –
A. infrared region
B. ultraviolet region
C. microwave region
D. visible region
Ans: visible region
Explanation : Transition metal ions have an incomplete set of 3d electrons. Changes in the energy of these electrons correspond to the energy of visible light. The absorption of visible light by these ions lend colour to gems.

[4] If a body weighs 12N on the surface of the earth, how much will it weigh on the surface of the moon where acceleration due to gravity is only one-sixth of that on earth's surface?

B. 2N
C. 10N
D. 6N
Ans: 2N
Explanation : Weight is mass x g. Since mass is constant and g is only 16thof that on the earth. The weight on the moon is only 16th of that on the earth.

[5] 'Kilowatt-hour' is the unit of -
A. potential difference
B. electric power

D. 1/10000th of mm
Ans: 1/1000th of mm
Explanation : In the U.S. the thickness of paint is expressed in mils (one mil equals 1/1000 of inch). The rest of the world expresses coating thickness in microns (1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter and 25.4 microns = .001” inch or 1 mil).

[7] If the temperature inside a room is increased, the relative humidity will ?
A. increase
B. decrease
C. remain unchanged
D. none of these
Ans: decrease
Explanation : This is because temperatures in the home can be much different than the temperature outside. This is because of that important relationship between temperature and how much maximum moisture can be in the air.

[8] The device used to change the speed of an electric fan is -
A. Amplifier
B. Regulator
C. Switclh
D. Rectifier
Ans: Regulator
Explanation : Regulator is to adjust the voltage across the motor of the fan.

A. 6 to 9 V
B. 50 to 60 V
C. 200 to 250 V
D. 90 to 100 V
Ans: 200 to 250 V
Explanation : 0

[10] What is the base of the Octal Numeral System?
A. 8
B. 16
C. 32
D. 64
Ans: 8
Explanation : The octal numeral system is the base-8 number system and uses the digits 0 to 7. As it uses only eight digits (0 through 7) there are no numbers or letters used above 8.

[11] A wire carrying current is –
A. positively charged
B. negatively charged
C. neutral
D. charged with a type depending upon current strength
Ans: neutral
Explanation : 0

[12] A light ray travelling from denser to rarer medium at an angle of incidence more than critical angle of concerned media pair suffers.
A. reflection
B. refraction
C. diffraction
D. total internal reflection
Ans: total internal reflection
Explanation : If the angle of incidence of light ray in the denser medium is greater than the critical angle of the concerned media pair, the light is not at all reflected in to the rarer medium but is totally reflected. This is known as 'total internal reflection'.

[13] Which of the following physical quantities has no dimension?
A. Force
B. Momentum
C. Impulse
D. Angle
Ans: Angle
Explanation : Quantities having units, but no dimensions: Plane angle, angular displacement, solid angle. These physical quantities possess units but they does not possess dimensional formulas.

[14] Which of the following is a good conductor of heat but bad conductor of electricity?
A. mica
B. asbestos
C. celluloid
D. paraffin wax
Ans: mica
Explanation : Good conductors of heat are good conductors of electricity. Mica is an exception which although being a good conductor of heat and a bad conductor of electricity. It is commonly used in insulation of electricity between high heat generating transistors and their heat sink and or chassis to prevent grounding out of component and to assist in the transfer of the generated heat to the heat sink or chassis for dissipation.

[15] Respiration in the absence of air is called -
A. Aerobic respiration
B. Anaerobic respiration
C. Muscular respiration
D. Molecular respiration
Ans: Anaerobic respiration
Explanation : Respiration in the absence of air is called Anaerobic respiration while respiration in the presence of air (oxygen) is called aerobic respiration.

Ans: area of cross section
Explanation : The resistance of a current carrying conductor is inversely proportional to the area of cross section of the conductor. This is because the resistance occurs due to the collision of electrons/charged particles.
