- Question 1 of 34
1. Question
The period of revolution of a geostationary satellite is:
Hint
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 km directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east). At this altitude, one orbit takes 24 hours, the same length of time as the earth requires to rotate once on its axis. So they seem stationary, relative to the Earth’s surface.

2. Question
A piece of paper and a cricket ball are dropped from the same height. Under which of the following conditions do both reach the surface simultaneously?
Hint
All objects, regardless of mass, will fall at the same rate. Heavier things have a greater gravitational force AND heavier things have a lower acceleration. It turns out that these two effects exactly cancel to make falling objects have the same acceleration regardless of mass.

6. Question
‘Mirage’ is an example of:
Hint
A mirage occurs because of total internal reflection by layers of air. When the ground is very hot and the air is cool. The hot ground warms a layer of air just above the ground. When the light moves through the cold air and into the layer of hot air it is refracted (bent). A layer of very warm air near the ground refracts the light from the sky nearly into a U-shaped bend.

- Question 14 of 34
14. Question
One can distinguish a telescope from a microscope by observing:
Hint
Telescope and microscope can be distinguished by observing the length and size of the lens. In a telescope, the object lens has a large focal length and large aperture and the eye lens has small focal length and small aperture. The distance between the object lens and eye lens is adjusted to focus on the object situated at infinity. In a microscope, the object lens has a small focal length and short aperture and the eye lens used has a moderate focal length and large aperture. The object and eye lens are kept at a fixed distance apart, whereas the distance of the objective lens from the object is adjusted to focus an object.
