Opening in the eye through which light passes to the retina is called the?
pupil
cornea
iris
optic nerve
Correct answer is A
The function of the pupil is clearly that of controlling the amount of light entering the eye, and hence the light reflex
Which of the following factors does not affect the rate of evaporation of a liquid?
temperature
volume
wind
surface area
Correct answer is B
The rate of evaporation depends on temperature, presence of wind, the humidity of the surrounding, and the surface area of the liquid exposed to the atmosphere. It doesn't depend on the mass of the liquid. The larger the surface area, the more would be the rate of evaporation.
Formation of hydrogen bubbles at the copper plate of a primary cell is called?
polarization
back e.m.f.
electrolysis
local action.
Correct answer is A
Polarization:The hydrogen bubbles which are clinging over the surface of copper electrode anode becomes a thin film of hydrogen over the copper electrode.
This hydrogen film increases the internal resistance and reduces the emf of the cell and hence the cell soon becomes inactive. This effect is known as polarization
The reason for laminating the soft iron core of a transformer is to?
reduce eddy current.
reduce magnetic flux.
increase the magnetic flux.
reduce its efficiency.
Correct answer is A
Laminated iron core means insulating layers glued compact. Now the cores are laminated to reduce Eddy current.
Which of the following quantities is not an example of force?
Mass
Tension
Weight
Friction
Correct answer is A
Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object.
