Which color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
AViolet
BBlue
CYellow
DRed
Correct Answer:
D. Red
Explanation:
The visible light spectrum ranges from violet (shortest wavelength ~400 nm) to red (longest wavelength ~700 nm). Red light has the longest wavelength among visible light.
Correct Answer:
B. Tungsten filament in a light bulb
Explanation:
A tungsten filament's resistance changes significantly with temperature during operation, making it non-ohmic. Metals at constant temperature follow Ohm's law.
A transformer has 100 turns in the primary coil and 500 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary voltage is 220V, what is the secondary voltage assuming 100% efficiency?
A44 V
B220 V
C1100 V
D2200 V
Correct Answer:
C. 1100 V
Explanation:
Using transformer equation: Vₛ/Vₚ = Nₛ/Nₚ. Vₛ = 220 × (500/100) = 220 × 5 = 1100 V.
AAn alpha particle is a helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons
BAlpha decay increases the atomic number
CAlpha particles have high penetration power
DAlpha decay produces beta particles
Correct Answer:
A. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons
Explanation:
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus (₂He⁴) with 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Alpha decay decreases atomic number by 2 and mass number by 4. Alpha particles have low penetration power.
