Take MCQ Physics Test

1.
Science, like any knowledge, can be put to good or bad use, depending on the user. Given below are some of the application of science. Formulate your views on whether the particular application is good, bad or something that cannot be so clearly categorized.
(i) Mass vaccination against small pox to curb and finally eradicate this disease from the population.
(ii) Television for eradication of illiteracy and for mass communication for news and ideas.
(iii) Prenatal sex determination.
(iv) Computers for increase in work efficiency.
(v) Putting artificial satellites around the earth.
(vi) Development of nuclear weapons.
(vii) Development of new and powerful techniques of chemical and biological warfare.
(viii) Purification of water for drinking.
(ix) Plastic surgery.
(x) Cloning.

Deepa's uncle was surprised to see the fast changes in the world. He is not so educated. He asked Deepa to tell him the names and qualities of some persons who have contributed for bringing the rapid changes in the world. Deepa who is science graduate explained about some discoveries and the names of scientist who have done a marvellous work in physics.
(i) Why Deepa's uncle was so curious to know things changed recently?
(ii) What values are displayed by Deepa?
(iii) Name at least three Indian scientists.
3.
Ravinder and Mohender were discussing the role of Physics in society. Ravinder said to Mahender that Physics does not have any impact on society. He had no knowledge of science as he was the student of Arts stream. Ravinder who is the science student of class XII explained him that the fate of society is intimately linked with Physics because whatever is discovered in Physics, it immediately effects the society. The advancement in the field of communication such as radios, computers, TVs and mobile phones connect the people with each other. Nuclear energy have brought a profound change in the thinking and living style of the human beings.
(i) What values are displayed here by Ravinder?
(ii) Give any five discoveries which has effected the society more.
4.
Physics has a very limited scope and only in practice of a few blessed ones. Do you agree?
5.
Does imagination play any role in physics?
6.
Name four fundamental forces in nature.
7.
Give the salient features of Einstein's theory.
8.
The shells of crabs found around a particular coastal location in Japan seem mostly to resemble the legendary face of a Samurai. Given below are two explanations of this observed fact. Which of these strikes you as a scientific explanation?
(a) A tragic sea accident several centuries ago drowned a young Samurai. As a tribute to his bravery, nature through its inscrutable ways immortalized his face by imprinting it on the crab shells in that area.
(b) After the sea tragedy, fishermen in that area, in a gesture of honour to their dead hero, let free any crab shell caught by them which accidentally had a shape resembling the face of a Samurai. Consequently, the particular shape of the crab shell survived longer and therefore in course of time the shape was genetically propagated. This is an example of evolution by artificial selection.
[Note: This interesting illustration taken from Carl Sagan's 'The Cosmos' highlights the fact that often strange and inexplicable facts which on the first sight appear 'supernatural' actually turn out to have simple scientific explanations. Try to think out other examples of this kind].
1.
(i) Mass vaccination is good as, it is used to make the socity free from the diseases like small pox.
(ii) Television for eradication of illiteracy and for mass communication of news and ideas is good as, it is a medium which is easily within the reach of common man and also they are very habitual to it.
(iii) Prenatal sex determination is bad because people are misusing it. Some of the people after determination of sex of child, think to abort. They do it especially with girl child.
(iv) Computer for increase in work efficiency is good as using the computer, a man can do much more work with greater efficiency and accuracy.
(v) Putting artificial satellite into orbits around the Earth is good for development as these satellites serve many purpose like remote sensing, weather foresting.
(vi) Development of nuclear weapons is bad as they can be used in mass destruction.
(vii) Development of new and powerful tool of chemical and biological warfare are bad, as they can also be used for mass destruction.
(viii) Purification of water for drinking purpose is good as we can save ourself from the diseases which we can have due to drinking of the water.
(ix) Plastic surgery is good as with the help of it a man or women can remove the skin defects occurring due to accident or some other reasons. It has some bad effects too but they are not very considerable.
(x) Cloning is good as far as animals are concerned. With the help of it, we can develop some species of animals which can be used to serve some specific purpose. But it is not good for human beings.
2.
(I) Deepa's uncle is not educated and he is comparing the period of his early life when he could no have communication system, computers, LED's and LCDs. etc. with his present period.
(ii) Sympathy, helping, awareness and intelligence are the values displayed by Deepa.
(iii) Names of Indian Scientists are:
(a) H.J. Bhaba
(b) S.N. Bose
(c) CV. Raman
(d) J.C Bose
3.
(i) The values displayed by Ravinder are: Intelligence, sharp mind, awareness and helping nature.
(ii) (a) Superconductivity.
(b) Einstein's Equation E = mc2
(c) Photoelectric effect.
(d) Theory of relativity.
(e) X-rays
4.
No, it is not true. Physics has unlimited scope and its conceptual base can be noticed in immense number of activities/ fields. Can a cricket or a hockey player say that physics has nothing to do with his game? No, he is using collision phenomenon every second of his game along with Newton's laws of motion. Can you say that you walk without physics, talk without physics, eat without physics and so on, all that need friction. A musician uses physics. Physics is applied in every walk of life. Therefore we can not say that physics is noticed only in the practice of few blessed ones.
5.
Imagination plays vital role in physics. Development of theories and concepts in physics originate from hypothetical imaginations. Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Huygens' principle, Maxwell equations, Schrodinger wave equation, Bohr's theory etc., were the imaginations of scientists which are successfully employed to explain the various phenomena occurring in nature.
6.
Four fundamental forces present in nature are:
(i) Gravitational force
(ii) Electromagnetic force
(iii) Weak nuclear force
(iv) Strong nuclear force.
7.
According to Einstein
(i) Mass and energy are interconvertible.
(Ii) Space and time are interconnected.
8.
The explanation given in option (b) strikes as a scientific explanation.
