11. Light year is the unit of _ [U.P.U.D.A /L.D.A. (PRE) 2013 ,R.A.S/R.T.S (PRE)1997 ,M.P.P.C.S.(PRE) 2008 ,Jharkhand P.C.S. (PRE)2013,2023,66th B.P.S.C.(PRE)2020]

Correct Answer: (a) Distance
Solution:

Light year is a unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year,which is 9.46*10^15 meters

12. A light year is the - [U.P.Lower Sub.(mains)2013]

Correct Answer: (c) Distance travelled by the light in one year
Solution:

Light year is a unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year,which is 9.46*10^15 meters

13. Light year is - [U.P.U.D.A./L.D.A.(PRE)2010]

Correct Answer: (b) The distance travelled by light in one year
Solution:

Light year is a unit of astronomical distance equivalent to the distance that light travels in one year,which is 9.46*10^15 meters

14. Which one of the following is a reason why astronomical distance are measured in light year? [I.A.S.(PRE)2021]

Correct Answer: (d) Speed of light is always is same
Solution:

A light year is the distance a beam of light travels in a single earth year.The speed of light is constant in a vacuum.And that is where all the stellar bodies are present in a vacuum.The speed of light is constant throughout the universe and is known to high presion.That is why all astronomical distances are measured in light-year

15. A parsec ,a unit of distance used to measure the distance related to the stars in the sky,is equal to - [R.A.S./R.T.S.(PRE)1999]

Correct Answer: (b) 3.25 light years
Solution:

A parsec is a unit of length used to measure the astronomical large distance of object beyond our solar system.
1 parsec=3.0857*10∧16
1 Light year=9.461*10∧15
so 1 parsec=3.262 light year
only b is close to the exact answer

16. PARSEC is the unit of : [U.P.P.C.S.(PRE)1997]

Correct Answer: (a) Distance
Solution:

A parsec is a unit of length used to measure the astronomical large distance of object beyond our solar system.
1 parsec=3.0857*10∧16
1 Light year=9.461*10∧15
so 1 parsec=3.262 light year
only b is close to the exact answer

17. Which unit of measurement is multiplied by 0.39 to convert it to 'inches'? [U.P.U.D.A/L.D.A.(PRE)2010]

Correct Answer: (b) Centimetre
Solution:

1 Centimetre=0.39 inch,so we can multiply centimetre by 0.39 to convert it to inches

18. How can the height of a person who is 6 feet tall, be expressed in nanometre? [I.A.S.(PRE)2008]

Correct Answer: (c) 183*10∧7nm
Solution:

1 nanometre=10∧-9
1 feet=0.305 metre
1 feet=30.5*10∧7nm
1 feet=6*30.5*10∧7nm=183*10∧7nm

19. One metre is equal to - [U.P.U.D.A./L.D.A.(PRE)2013, Uttrakhand P.C.S.(PRE)2016]

Correct Answer: (b) 10∧-7cm
Solution:

1 Nanometre=1.0*10∧-9m
since 1 metre = 100 cm
so 10∧-9m=10∧2*10∧-9cm=10∧-7cm

20. Ampere is the unit of - [Chhattisgarh P.C.S.(pre)2005]

Correct Answer: (b) Electric current
Solution:

Ampere is the SI unit to measure the electric current. If one ampere current is flowing in any conducting device wire,it means 6.25*10∧18 electrons are entering per second from one direction and same amount of current flows from the other end per second.
