In a transverse wave, particle motion is:

  • A Perpendicular to wave direction
  • B Parallel to wave direction
  • C Random
  • D Circular
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Perpendicular to wave direction
Explanation: In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction in which the wave itself travels, as seen in waves on a string or electromagnetic waves like light.

Which of the following best describes nuclear fission?

  • A Combining light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus
  • B Emission of alpha particles
  • C Splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei
  • D Absorption of neutrons without splitting
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei
Explanation: Nuclear fission is the process where a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, releasing a substantial amount of energy. This process powers nuclear reactors and was famously used in atomic bombs during World War II.
