Question #1
The phenomenon by which heat is transferred through empty space without the need for a material medium is known as:
A. Radiation
B. Latent Heat Transfer
C. Convection
D. Conduction

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Thermal radiation is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic waves (primarily infrared). Unlike conduction (which requires physical contact) or convection (which requires fluid movement), radiation can travel through a vacuum. This is how the heat from the Sun reaches the Earth through the vacuum of space.

Question #2
A typical Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) is fundamentally designed to visually display and analyze which physical quantity with respect to time?
A. Temperature
B. Pressure
C. Voltage
D. Magnetic Field

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A CRO uses an electron beam sweeping across a phosphorescent screen to create a visible graph. It is fundamentally a voltage-measuring instrument. The vertical deflection is directly proportional to the applied voltage, and the horizontal deflection is controlled by a time-base generator, allowing it to display voltage waveforms over time.
