In a compound microscope

A.

there is only one lens

B.

the objective lens have a shorter focal length than the eyepiece which is convex

C.

the objective lens has a longer focal length than the eyepiece which is convex

D.

the objective lens has a shorter focal length than the eyepiece which is concave

E.

the objective and the eyepiece are both convex and have the same focal length

Correct answer is B

A compound microscope consists of two convex lenses: an objective lens O of small aperture and an eye piece E of large aperture. The lens which is placed towards the object is called objective lens, while the lens which is towards our eye is called eye piece. These two convex lenses i.e. the objective and the eye piece have short focal length and are fitted at the free ends of two sliding tubes at a suitable distance from each other. Although the focal length of both the objective lens and eye piece is short, but the focal length of the objective lens O is a little shorter than that of the eye piece E.

Which of the following statements about sound is NOT true?

A.

sound is a longitudinal wave

B.

sound can be reflected and refracted like light

C.

sound travels through a vacuum

D.

sound moves faster in a steel wire than in air

E.

sound can ony be produced by vibrating objects

Correct answer is C

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum. A vacuum is an area without any air, like space. So sound cannot travel through space because there is no matter for the vibrations to work in.

If the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas

A.

is inversely proprotional to its centigrade temperature

B.

is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature

C.

is directly proportional to its centigrade temperature

D.

is directly proportional to its absolute temperature

E.

remains constant also

Correct answer is D

Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas, when the volume is kept constant.
