1-  Helium has the lowest boiling point of any element.

2-  Osmium is the densest element.

3-  Tungsten has the highest boiling point of all the elements. Hence, it is used for filaments in electric

4-  Cesium is used in atomic clocks.

5-  Pure silicon is a semi-conductor and is used in electronic devices as the base for minute integrated  circuits (ICs).

6-  Mercury is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature. It is very poisonous and affects mental

7-  1 meter distance is equal to the length of 1,650,763.73 wavelength of pure orange lights emitted from Kr-86.

8-  If a body is dropped vertically down, and another is projected horizon­tally then both will reach the ground simultaneously but with different velocity.

9-  The ratio to distance traveled in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seconds of freely falling body is 1:3:5.

10- The ratio of maximum height reached by different bodies projected up­wards with different velocity  is equal to

11- If a body is dropped from top of a tower of height h and another body is thrown up simultaneously with velocity u from the foot of the tower, then both of them would meet after      time     h/u.

12- Choke coil works on principle of electro-magnetic induction.

13- If a person projected a ball outside from a moving car, then the path of the ball is a straight line for the person sitting in the car, but It should be a parabola for an observer on the ground.

14- Retro-rocket is used for deceleration of rocket in space.

15- The shape of rain drop is spherical due to surface tension.

16- Goniometer is used in determining angle of

17- Lactometer is used to determining purity of milk.

18- The height of mercury column in barometer is independent of the di­ameter of glass-tube containing

19- The frequency of second pendulum is 2s.

20- Clouds are flying due to their least density and viscosity of air.

21- Viscosity of gases increases with increase in temperature.

22- The force of attraction between atoms of the same material is called cohesive force.

23- The force of attraction between atoms of different material is called adhesive force
.
24- Candalescent of tube-light is always greater than that of electric bulb of the same power

25- 1 KW = 1.34 HP

26 -Tritium is radioactive isotopes of Hydrogen.

27-Tuning of radio is an example of resonance.

28-Cobalt-60 is used in Leukemia treatment

29-Cybernetics is study of communication between human and machine.

30-The filament of Halogen lamp is made of tungsten-iodine mixture.

31-Ceramic is used in Super-conductivity.

32-A transformer which increases the applied e.m.f. of an alternating cur­rent is called Step-up transformer.

33-Transformer, which decreases applied e.m.f. of alternating current is called step-down transformer.

34-A device which convert mechanical energy into electric energy is called dynamo. However, if it produces a fairly large amount of power, it is called Generator.

35-Generator is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
in generator, armature consists of laminated soft iron core, from the centre of which passes a steel axle.

36-Slip sings of generator are made of gun metal.

37-Brushes of generator are made out of carbon or gun metal.

38-Coulumb is the unit of electric charge (coulumb = ampere/second).

39-1 coulumb = 6.25

40-Magnetic effect of electric current was discovered by Weston.

41-Ammeter is used in DC as well as in AC.

42-Resistance of Ammeter is very low.

43-Resistance of Voltmeter is very high.

44-Volmeter measures potential difference between two points.

45-A parallel combination of a galvanometer and a small resistance is equivalent to an ammeter.

46-A series combination of a galvanometer and a high resistance is equivalent to a voltmeter.

47-Ammeter is always connected in series while voltmeter is always con­nected in parallel.

48-Electron volt is the unit of energy.

49-Watt is the unit of electric power, watt = volt x ampere =Kilowatt hour (KWH) is also the unit of electric power 1 KWH = 3.6 x J

57. 3-D Image is known as hologram.

58. If a transparent material is invisible in any liquid, then both of them have the same refractive index.

59. Magnifying glass is convex lens of small focal length­s’- If two mirrors are at an angle of 75° then the number of images is 5.
