  1. The Energy required to remove an electron in a hydrogen atom from state is
    1. 13.6eV
    2. 0.136eV
    3. 1.36eV
    4. 0.00136eV
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 2.0.136eV
    Explanation :
    The energy necessary to remove the electron from n = 10 the state in hydrogen atom will be 0.136eV

  2. One nanometer is equal to …………………………
    1. 10-9m
    2. 10-8m
    3. 10-12m
    4. 10-10m
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 1.10-9m
    Explanation :
    The nanometre or nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a metre ( 0.000000001 m or 10-9m)

  3. The fourth state of matter is known as
    1. Solid
    2. Liquid
    3. Gas
    4. Plasma
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 4.Plasma
    Explanation :
    Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter, the others being solid, liquid, and gas. A plasma has properties unlike those of the other states.

  4. Which type of energy is oldest energy to man ?
    1. Electrical energy
    2. Heat Energy
    3. Geothermal Energy
    4. Solar Energy
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 3.Geothermal Energy
    Explanation :
    Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter.

  5. In a photocell light energy is converted into ……………………….
    1. Heat Energy
    2. Electrical Energy
    3. Sound Energy
    4. Electronic Energy
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 2.Electrical Energy
    Explanation :
    Photocell is a solid-state electronic device that converts light into electrical energy by producing a voltage or that uses light to regulate the flow of current

  6. The slope of ……………………… graph represents Acceleration
    1. Velocity – time
    2. Velocity – Frequency
    3. Frequency – Amplitude
    4. Speed – Voltage
    5. None of  these
    Answer – : 1.Velocity – time
    Explanation :
    The slope of Velocity – time graph represents Acceleration. The velocity vs. time graphs for the two types of motion – constant velocity and changing velocity
    Acceleration  is the rate of change of velocity of an object

  7. Which is used to change the speed of the fan ?
    1. Resistance
    2. Transistor
    3. Regulator
    4. Accelerator
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 3.Regulator
    Explanation :
    Regulator is used  to regulate/control the speed of the fan and provide a convenient environment for the residents.

  8. The temperature of metal wire …………………………..when the current is passes through it
    1. None of these
    2. Constant
    3. Decreases
    4. Increases
    5. All of  these
    Answer – 4.Increases
    Explanation :
    The temperature of metal wire increases when the current is passes through it

  9. When a light wave is reflected from a mirror, there is a change in its ………………………….
    1. Refractive Index
    2. Reflective Index
    3. Frequency
    4. Amplitude
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 4.AmplitudeExplanation :
    When a light wave is reflected from a mirror, there is a change in its amplitude because reflected wave is reflected in phase with the incoming wave

  10. What is the maximum escape velocity of rocket to be launched into Space ?
    1. 11km/sec
    2. 14km/sec
    3. 22km/sec
    4. 35km/sec
    5. None of  these
    Answer – 1.11km/sec
    Explanation :
    escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to “break free” from the gravitational attraction of a massive body. The escape velocity from Earth is about 40,270 km/h (25,020 mph). The maximum escape velocity of rocket to be launched into Space is 11km/sec
