Who gave the Theory of Relativity?

Isaac Newton

Archimedes

Albert Einstein

Galileo Galilei

Your answer is incorrect

Explanation:

Albert Einstein was the founder of Theory of Relativity. According to Einstein’s theory, mass m is
equivalent to energy E given by the relation E = mc^2 where c is speed of light in vacuum. Albert
Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to the field of Theoretical
Physics.

Who among the following is credited to work for the unification of electricity, magnetism and optics
field of Physics?

James Clerk Maxwell

Michael Faraday

Haris Christian Oersted

Isaac Newton
Your answer is correct

Explanation:

James Clerk Maxwell made the efforts for the unification of electricity, magnetism and optics field of
Physics. He showed that light is an electromagnetic wave. James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish
mathematician, physicist and is known best for his mathematical work on electromagnetism and on
the behaviour of gases.

The force that binds the neutrons and protons in a nucleus is called as:

Weak Nuclear Force

Strong Nuclear Force

Electromagnetic Force

Gravitational Force

Your answer is correct

Explanation:

Strong Nuclear Force is the force that binds the neutrons and protons together in a nucleus. Nuclear
forces are the strongest forces in nature are 10^38 times stronger than gravitational forces. Nuclear
forces have the shortest range and operate within the nucleus only.

By how many times are the Electrostatic forces stronger than the Gravitational Forces for a fixed
distance?

10^2

B
10^36

10^12

Your answer is correct

Explanation:

36

Electrostatic forces are 10

times stronger than the Gravitational Forces for a fixed distance. Electrostatic forces may be
attractive or repulsive depending upon the charges. Electrostatic forces are conservative forces and
obey inverse square law.

Optical Fibre technology works on which of these principles of Physics?

Bernoulli's Principle

Newton's law of Motion

Total internal reflection of Light

Photoelectric effect

Your answer is incorrect

Explanation:

Optical Fibre technology works on the principle of Total internal reflection of Light. It helps in
transmitting light signals from one place to another with a negligible loss of energy, thereby enabling
to carry more signals than copper cables.

What is the range of Strong Nuclear force?

Infinite

Very short Subnuclear size

Very short Nuclear size

None

Your answer is incorrect

Explanation:
The range of Strong Nuclear force is very short, nuclear size (approximately 10 ^-15m). The Strong
Nuclear force operates among Nucleons and heavier elementary particles. Its strength as compared
to Gravitational force is 10
