6. The 'Greenhouse effect' is produced due to the presence of excess amount of :





Answer & Solution

Answer:

Methane

Solution:

The Greenhouse Effect is the warming of the Earth’s surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely, but when the Earth's surface emits energy in the form of infrared radiation, these gases absorb and trap some of the heat, preventing it from escaping back into space. This process keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life but can lead to global warming when intensified by human activities.

7. What do we call the process in which no exchange of heat energy takes place between the gas and the surroundings?





Answer & Solution

Answer:

Adiabatic

Solution:

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one in which no heat is transferred to or from the gas to its surroundings. This means that all changes in the internal energy of the system result from work done by or on the system, not from heat exchange.

  • Adiabatic Process: No heat enters or leaves the system. The process can occur either by rapid compression or expansion, where there is not enough time for heat exchange, or in a perfectly insulated system.

8. Which among the following is the permissible noise level for residential areas for day time as declared by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) ?





Answer & Solution

Answer:

55 Decibels

Solution:

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of India has set specific permissible noise levels for different areas to control noise pollution. These levels are defined for both day and night times and vary depending on the type of area (residential, commercial, industrial, or silent zone).

9. Which of these layers of the atmosphere consists of the ozone layer that responsible for absorbing the Ultra-Violet (UV) light ?





Answer & Solution

Answer:

Stratosphere

Solution:

The ozone layer, which is responsible for absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultra-violet (UV) radiation, is located in the stratosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer of the Earth's atmosphere, situated above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.
