On investigation of light from three different stars A, B and C, it was found that in the spectrum of A the intensity of red colour is maximum, in B the intensity of blue colour is maximum and in C the intensity of yellow colour is maximum. From these observations it can be concluded that
A. the temperature of A is maximum, B is minimum and C is intermediate
B. the temperature of A is maximum, C is minimum and B is intermediate
C. the temperature B is maximum, A is minimum and C is intermediate
D. the temperature of C is maximum, B is minimum and A is intermediate

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Blue-dominated spectra indicate higher surface temperature, red indicates lower, and yellow is intermediate, so B hottest, A coolest, C intermediate.

The shadow of the bones in X-rays photographic film appears lighter than the surrounding flesh due to:
A. Bones totally reflect X-rays
B. Bones absorb less amount of X-rays
C. Bones reflect greater amount of X-rays
D. Bones absorb greater amount of X-rays
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Bones are denser and absorb more X-rays, so fewer X-rays reach the film behind bones, making those areas lighter.

Light from some stars shows an apparent change in frequency because of:
A. Refraction
B. Diffraction
C. Reflection
D. Relative motion
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The observed change in frequency (redshift/blueshift) is due to relative motion between the source and observer (Doppler effect); the OCR marks option B.

In photo-electric emission, number of electrons emitted depends upon
A. Work function of the metal
B. Intensity of incident light
C. Wavelength of the incident light
D. Energy of the photon
Answer & Solution
Discuss
Save
Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Number of emitted electrons is proportional to the number of incident photons, i.e., the light intensity, not the photon energy or work function.
1279
In an electromagnetic wave, the strengths of electric and magnetic fields are in the form of
A. electric field constant, magnetic field varying
