Description : The colours of stars depend on their – (1) temperature (2) distance (3) radius (4) atmospheric pressure
Last Answer : (1) temperature Explanation: The colour of a star tells about its temperature, and the temperature depends on some combination of the star's mass and evolutionary phase.
Description : If there is a circular hole in a metal plate, what happens to the radius of the hole when the plate is heated? (1) Increases (2) Decreases (3) Unchanged (4) Depends upon the metal
Last Answer : (1) Increases Explanation: When a metal plate with a circular hole at its centre is heated, definitely along with the areal expansion of the plate the diameter of the circular hole also increases. Using ... of expansions, we find that the hole radius increases at the same linear rate as the metal.
