  1. ………………. is also known as law of Galileo
    1.Newton’s Second Law
    2.Laws of motion
    3.Newton’s Third Law
    4.Newton’s First Law
    5.All of these
    Answer – 4. Newton’s First Law
    Explanation :
    First law –  Everybody retains its state or state of motion until an external force is applied on it

  2. Which of the following is unit of Luminous intensity ?
    1.Mole
    2.Candela
    3.Kelvin
    4.Kilogram
    5.None of these
    Answer – 2.Candela
    Explanation :

    Luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle

  3. According to the law of conservation of energy which of the following is true ?
    1.Energy can be created by many methods2.
    2.Enegy can’t be transformed into any other form
    3.Energy can’t be destroyed
    4.Energy can either be created or be destroyed
    5.Both 1 and 3
    Answer – 3.Energy can’t be destroyed
    Explanation :
    Law of conservation of energy : Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another form

  4. The pressure exerted anywhere at a point of cofined fluid is transmitted equally and undiminished in all directions throughout the liquid is known as
    1.Pascal’s law
    2.Kepler’s law
    3.Newton’s law
    4.Stefan’s law
    5.None of these
    Answer – 1.Pascal’s law
    Explanation :
    Pascal’s law is also known as principle of transmission of fluid-pressure

  5. The speed of the light is
    1.3×106m/m
    2.8×108m/s
    3.3×108m/s
    4.6×103m/m
    5.None of these
    Answer – 3. 3×108m/s
    Explanation :
    Light is a transverse wave

  6. Optical fibre following …………….. to carry the information in the form of light
    1.Law of scattering
    2.Refraction law
    3.Reflection law
    4.Total internal reflection
    5.None of these
    Answer – 4.Total internal reflection
    Explanation :
    Total internal reflection occurs when a propagating wave strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than a particular critical angle with respect to the normal to the surface.

  7. Twinkling of stars is based upon……………………………
    1.Reflection
    2.Refraction
    3.Scateering
    4.Both Reflection and Refraction
    5.None of these
    Answer – 2.Refraction
    Explanation :
    Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different

  8. Which of the following denotes Ohm’s law ?
    1.I = VR
    2.R/I = V
    3.V = IR
    4.R = VI
    5.None of these
    Answer – 3.V = IR
    Explanation :
    Current is flowing through the conductor is direct proportional to the potential difference across its 2 ends.

  9. The process of splitting of a heavy molecules into 2 or more lighter molecules is known as
    1.Nuclear Fission
