3. Which of following in not a property of cathode ray.

Cathode rays are invisible and travel in a straight line.
These rays can ionise gases.
These rays can penetrate through thin metal foils.
These rays make materials cool on which they fall.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

These rays heat the materials on which they fall.

4. Which law states, "The rate of loss of heat by a body is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and the surroundings."

Doppler's Effect
Newton's law of cooling
Kirchhoff's Law
Stefan's Law

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Doppler's Effect - The Doppler effect can be described as the effect produced by a moving source of waves in which there is an apparent upward shift in frequency for observers towards whom the source is approaching and an apparent downward shift in frequency for observers from whom the source is receding.

Kirchhoff's Law - Kirchhoff's Law signifies that good absorbers are good emitters.

Stefan's Law - The radiant energy emitted by a black body per unit area per unit time is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.

5. Which instrument is used in submarine to see the objects above sea level ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Pykometer - used to determine the density and coefficient of expansion of liquids,

Polygraph - used to record changes in heartbeat, blood-pressure and respiration,

Photometer - used to compare luminous intensity of the source of light.
