21. Which colour deviates the least when light passes through a prism? [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 04.02.2021 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (3) Red
Solution:In the visible spectrum, red has the highest wave length and violet has the lowest wave length.

• So, the red colour deviates the least and the violet colour deviates the most while passing through a prism.

22. A spring blance is a device commoly used for measuring the_________ acting on an object. [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 05.03.2021 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) weight
Solution:Spring balance is a mechanical device used for measuring the weight or force of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring.

• The principle behind its working is the principle of Hooke's law.

23. Which equipment is used to transform mechanical energy into electrical energy? [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 09.03.2021 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (3) Dynamo
Solution:A dynamo is simply a machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity, also called an electric generator.

• Inside power plants, dynamos are most often found.

24. Which of the below is not a vector quantity? [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 09.03.2021 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (1) Power
Solution:Power is defined as the energy for work) per unit time.

• As. time is not considered as a vector quantity, and neither energy or work because the work is not directional.

• The power is a scalar quantity because it has a unit magnitude but no direction.

25. X-rays were discovered by: [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 09.03.2021 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (1) W. Roentgen
Solution:X-rays are a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation.

• X-radiation is referred to as Röntgen radiation, after the German scientist Wilhelm Rontgen who discovered these In 1895.

26. The unit of Force is: [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 13.03.2021 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (2) kgms-²
Solution:Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum. For an unchanging mass, this is equivalent to mass x acceleration.

• So, 1 N = 1 kg m s-2, or 1 kg m/s2.

27. Which of the following are the fastest seismic waves? [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 13.03.2021 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (1) Primary waves
Solution:P-waves of Primary waves are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected once an earthquake has occurred.

• At Earth's surface. P waves travel somewhere between 5 and 8 kilometers per second.

• Deeper within the planet. where pressures are higher and material is typically more dense, these waves can travel up to 13 kilometers per second.

• P waves travel through rock the same way that sound waves do through air.

28. The work done by a force acting on an object is equal to the amount of force multiplied by the distance travelled in the direction of the force. Which of the following is NOT a unit of work? [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 13.03.2021 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (1) Kgm/sec²
Solution:The SI unit of force is the newton

• Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum. For an unchanging mass, this is equivalent to mass x acceleration.

• So, 1 N= 1 kg m s-², or 1 kg m/s².

29. Which earthquake waves involve transverse displacement? [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 14.03.2021 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (3) S-Waves
Solution:S waves are transverse waves which involve movement of the ground perpendicular to the velocity of propagation.

• These waves involve shearing and rotation of the material as the wave passes through it. but not volume change.

• They travel only through solids.

30. A 'light year' is a unit that is used to measure: [RRB NTPC CBT-1 Exam, 14.03.2021 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (2) distance
Solution:Light Year is a unit of length used informally to ex-press astronomical distances.

• 1 light year = 9.4605284 * 1015 meters.

• As defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a light-year is the distance that light travels in vacuum in one Julian year.
