Explanation

The light from an ordinary lamp is hotter than a tube light because of incandescence.

The process by which light is produced through heat.

In an incandescent light bulb, an electric current heats a thin metal filament until it glows and produces light.

Explanation

Surface tension acts like a stretched membrane on the water's surface, and the surface tension along the blade's edges is greater than the blade's weight.

The force of surface tension acts tangentially to the liquid surface on the circumference of the blade.

Explanation

The Strait of Gibraltar connects two large water bodies, the Atlantic Ocean & Mediterranean Sea.

they lie between southernmost Spain and northwesternmost Africa.

The Strait of Gibraltar is located in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain)

The Sea separates Europe from Africa

Explanation

Note: according to Fpsc answer key  the correct  ans is green light

Since the maximum absorption by chlorophyll occurs in red light.

It is the most effective wavelength for photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll strongly absorbs red light.

Thus it is effective at photosynthesis.

All important questions and Information Related to 'Photosynthesis"

Photosynthesis takes place in the presence of the following light Only in sunlight from the sun

Photosynthesis takes place faster in white light

Photosynthesis occurs more in blue and red light rays

Photosynthesis occurs more in blue and red light rays and less, or not at all, in green light rays.

Explanation

The permanent hardness of water is caused by Chloride, Nitrates, Calcium and Sulphates of Magnesium 

Permanent Hardness is not precipitated by boiling 

It is removed by Zeolite

Additional Information:

The Presence of Calcium and Magnesium Bicarbonates causes temporary hardness of water 

Temporary hardness can be removed by boiling the water

Explanation

A weather balloon is not fully inflated on the ground because the air inside the balloon would expand and may burst as it rises.

The atmosphere is less dense at higher altitudes, so the pressure inside the balloon becomes greater than the pressure outside.

This causes the balloon to expand until it reaches its elastic limit and bursts.

Weather balloons typically burst at altitudes of over 15 miles (24.1 kilometers).

If a balloon were fully inflated on the ground, the gas would need to be vented out and wasted as it expands. 

Explanation

• Tungsten is very resistant to corrosion and has the highest melting point (melting point = 3695 K) and the highest tensile strength of any element.
• Tungsten is used for making bulb filaments of incandescent lamps because it has the highest melting point and does not melt even while it is glowing for long hours.

Explanation

• Television signals cannot be received ordinarily beyond a particular distance due to the curvature of the earth.

Key Points

• Signal waves travel in a straight line from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna. The signal transmitted from a TV tower cannot be received beyond a certain distance because the surface of the Earth is curved.
• This is due to, after going a certain distance the frequency of television signals decreases while their wavelength increases.
• Signal waves transmitted from a transmitter get absorbed or blocked by the curvature of Earth and are not received. 

Additional Information

• Signal:
  • Information converted in electrical form and suitable for transmission is called a signal.
  • Signals can be either analog or digital.

Explanation

The sun is visible a little before it rises and a little after it sets because of atmospheric refraction.

Refraction is the phenomenon that occurs when light changes direction as it passes from one transparent medium to another.

Explanation

Newton's Third Law of Motion states: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

From this law, we can infer:

1. Statement 1: For every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. (TRUE)
2. Statement 2: The magnitude of the force on the first object equals the magnitude of the force on the second object. (TRUE)
3. Statement 3: Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs. (TRUE)
4. Statement 4: Action and its reaction act on two same bodies. (FALSE - Action and reaction forces act on different bodies)
5. Statement 5: Action and its reaction act on two different bodies. (TRUE)

So, all statements except Statement 4 can be inferred from Newton's Third Law of Motion.
