Category Description: Science is a rigorous, systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world. Modern science is typically divided into three major branches: natural sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, and biology), which study the physical world; the social sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which study individuals and societies; and the formal sciences (e.g., logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science), which study formal systems, governed by axioms and rules.
Q1. Identify the normally radioactive material in the following list.
Q1. Identify the normally radioactive material in the following list.
Answer: (A) Plutonium
Plutonium is the only radioactive element in the list. Plutonium is a radioactive, silvery-gray, metallic element with the symbol Pu and atomic number 94. It has a high surface tension and viscosity compared to other metals, and tarnishes when exposed to air. Plutonium is created in a reactor when uranium atoms absorb neutrons, and is a by-product of nuclear power plants. It is the main fuel in fast neutron reactors, and more than one-third of the energy produced in most nuclear power plants comes from plutonium. Plutonium has five common isotopes, each with a different half-life, which is the time it takes to lose half of its radioactivity

Q5. What is the normal temperature of human body?
Q5. What is the normal temperature of human body?
Answer: (A) 37°C
Normal body temperature is considered to be 37°C (98.6°F); however, a wide variation is seen. Among normal individuals, mean daily temperature can differ by 0.5°C (0.9°F), and daily variations can be as much as 0.25 to 0.5°C.

Q8. What is the audible range of frequencies for normal human ears?
Q8. What is the audible range of frequencies for normal human ears?
Answer: (B) 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
The audible range of an average human ear lies between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Humans cannot hear sounds having frequency less than 20 Hz and greater than 20,000 Hz.
Q9. Why the sky appears blue?
Q9. Why the sky appears blue?
Answer: (C) Dispersion of light
Blue colour of the sky is due to dispersion or scattering of light. The two most common types of matter present in the atmosphere are gaseous nitrogen and oxygen. These particles are most effective in scattering the higher frequency and shorter wavelength portions of the visible light spectrum.
