Which lenses are used by people having short-sightedness?
1
A. Convex
B. Concave
C. Concavo-convex
D. Plain
B. Concave
People with short-sightedness, also known as myopia, typically use concave lenses to correct their vision. Concave lenses are thinner at the center and thicker at the edges, causing light rays to diverge before entering the eye. This helps to shift the focus of the incoming light rays forward, allowing them to form a clear image on the retina. By using concave lenses, the refractive error of myopia is effectively corrected, enabling individuals to see distant objects more clearly.

Which liquid is used in an aneroid barometer?
0
A. Mercury
B. Alcohol
C. Water
D. None
D. None
An aneroid barometer does not use a liquid. Unlike a mercury barometer, which utilizes the height of a column of mercury to measure atmospheric pressure, an aneroid barometer employs a mechanical mechanism consisting of a flexible metal box (aneroid cell) that expands or contracts in response to changes in air pressure. This mechanical movement is then translated into a measurement on a scale, indicating the atmospheric pressure. Since there is no liquid involved, the aneroid barometer is not affected by issues such as evaporation or freezing that may be encountered with liquid-based barometers.
