Q

If there is no capillarity?

A. It would be impossible to use a kerosene lamp
B. The blotting paper would fail to function
C. There would have been no plants on earth
D. All of above

A

D. All of above

If there were no capillarity, it would indeed have significant implications for the existence of plants on Earth. Capillarity, also known as capillary action, is the ability of liquids to flow in narrow spaces or tubes, such as the tiny vessels in plant tissues.

Capillarity has various applications in everyday life, ranging from the functioning of wicking materials in candles and paper towels to ink rising in a fountain pen or water being absorbed by a sponge. It is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics and has implications in many scientific and engineering fields.

Q

Which lenses are used by people having short-sightedness?
1

A. Convex
B. Concave
C. Concavo-convex
D. Plain

A

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.

93
Q

Which of the following animals does not have nervous system?

C. Sponges

Sponges are multicellular organisms that belong to the phylum Porifera. They are considered one of the simplest forms of animal life and lack a centralized nervous system. While sponges do have specialized cells called choanocytes that can respond to external stimuli, they do not possess a complex nervous system like bats, squirrels, or lizards.

Q

Which liquid is used in an aneroid barometer?
0

A. Mercury
B. Alcohol
C. Water
D. None

A

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.
