Q202.The special technique used in ships to calculate the depth of ocean beds is
(a) LASER
(b) SONAR
(c) Sonic boom
(d) Reverberation
Answer
Ans.(b)
Sol. SONAR or sound Navigation and Ranging is helpful for exploring and mapping the ocean because sound waves travel farther in the water than do radar and light waves. These also determine the time between the emission of sound pulse and its reception, the transducer can determine the range and orientation of the object.
While, LASER is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation.
Whereas, sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object travelling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
On the other hand, reverberation is the prolongation of a sound.

(b) Skin
(c) Lung
(d) Kidney
Answer
Ans.(a)
Sol. Vitamin A is fat-soluble it is not needed in daily, large quantities. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body in organs such as the liver. Most of the vitamin A that we consume goes to the liver to be stored until it is needed by another part of the body.
Q218. Transverse waves can propagate
(a) both in a gas and in a metal

(c) not in a gas but in a metal
(d) neither in a gas nor in a metal
Answer
Ans.(c)
Sol. The particles in transverse waves move perpendicularly to the direction of propagation so it cannot propagate in a gas or a liquid because there is no mechanism for driving motion perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.
