The waves used in radar are MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The waves used in radar are
A. Microwaves
B. Ultrasound
C. Radio waves
D. Sound waves
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) uses microwaves, a type of radio wave but usually specific microwave band. Often answer is microwaves. But radio waves also correct. I'll specify microwave as typical answer. Could be radio. Better: microwave. Many exams say microwaves. I'll stick with B.

Question #1
Which of the following materials would have the highest electrical resistance, assuming equal length and cross-sectional area?
A. Copper
B. Nichrome
C. Aluminum
D. Silver

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Resistance depends on the resistivity of the material (R = ρL/A). Silver and copper are excellent conductors with very low resistivity. Aluminum is also a good conductor. Nichrome is an alloy (nickel, chromium, and often iron) with a resistivity about 60 times higher than that of copper, making it a resistor used in heating elements.
