Explanation:
Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction: rotating a coil in magnetic field (or vice versa) induces EMF due to changing magnetic flux. This is Faraday's law application. Motors use the reverse principle (force on current-carrying conductor in field). Memory tip: 'Generator: motion ⇒ electricity (induction); Motor: electricity ⇒ motion (force)'. This application question tests understanding of device principles, common in competitive exams. Always distinguish generator (induction) from motor (Lorentz force) operation.
Explanation:
In the visible spectrum (VIBGYOR), wavelength increases from Violet to Red. Since speed = frequency × wavelength (c = fλ), frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Red light has the longest wavelength and therefore the lowest frequency and lowest energy. Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
Explanation:
Air has mass, gravity pulls it, creating weight. Pressure at any point is weight of air column above per unit area. At sea level ~10⁵ Pa. Decreases with altitude.
