The Chandrasekhar Limit is a fundamental concept in astrophysics that determines the ultimate fate of a star. It is specifically defined as the maximum mass of a:
A. White Dwarf
B. Black Hole
C. Neutron Star
D. Red Giant
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that a White Dwarf star cannot support itself against gravitational collapse if its mass exceeds approximately 1.44 times the mass of our Sun. This is the Chandrasekhar limit. Stars above this mass limit will eventually collapse further into a dense neutron star or a black hole.
Explanation:
Heat travels through spoon from hot end to cold end by conduction (molecular vibration and free electrons). Handle gets hot. Metal good conductor.
Explanation:
Polarization possible only for transverse waves (oscillations ⊥ propagation). Longitudinal waves (sound) cannot be polarized. Memory aid: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse nature; light is EM transverse wave'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive exams.
