Heat transfer by fluid motion is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat transfer by fluid motion is:
A. Conduction
B. Convection
C. All three
D. Radiation
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Convection: bulk fluid motion carries heat (natural: density-driven; forced: pump/fan). Conduction: molecular collisions; radiation: EM waves. Memory aid: 'Convection = fluid flow + heat; e.g., boiling, weather'. Heat transfer mode frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
SONAR is based on the principle of:
A. Polarization of sound waves
B. Diffraction of sound waves
C. Refraction of sound waves
D. Reflection of sound waves

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) relies on the reflection of ultrasonic waves. A transmitter sends out sound waves, which travel through water, strike an object (like a submarine or the seabed), and reflect back as an echo to a receiver. By measuring the time taken for the echo to return, the distance can be calculated.

Question #2
The least count of a standard vernier calliper is generally
A. 1 cm
B. 0.001 cm
C. 0.1 cm
D. 0.01 cm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD = 0.1 - 0.09 = 0.01 cm (common).

Question #3
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the human eye.
A. The image formed on the retina is virtual and erect.
B. The cornea provides most of the eye's refractive power.
C. The pupil regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
D. The retina acts as the screen where images are formed.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The eye lens is a convex (converging) lens. It converges light rays to form a real and inverted image on the retina. The brain processes this signal and flips it so we perceive the world as erect. All other statements are functionally correct. The cornea does indeed do about two-thirds of the focusing.
