Explanation

The blue colour of the sky is due to the scattering of light by the atmospheric particles.

Light of shorter wavelengths scatters more than the light of longer wavelengths and

the violet colour has a shorter wavelength, but our eyes are more sensitive to blue light. Hence, the colour of a clear sky is blue.

Explanation

Atmosphere is divided into Five layers/parts:

1. Troposphere
2. Stratosphere
3. Mesosphere
4. Thermosphere
5. Exosphere

Explanation

• Hemodialysis is a medical procedure that filters and cleans the blood using a machine when the kidneys fail to perform this function effectively.
• It removes waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the bloodstream.

Explanation

Sir Isaac Newton's three law of motions

In 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the “Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis.”

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it.

In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.

In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Explanation

A hydrogenation reaction occurs when vegetable oils are converted to fats.

The double bonds of vegetable oils are broken down resulting in a saturated fat i.e. ghee.

Explanation

• Sound travels fastest in diamond, with a speed of approximately 12,000 meters per second (m/s).
• This is because diamond has a very high stiffness and density, which allows sound waves to propagate quickly through the material.

The speeds of sound in different materials:

• Air: 343 m/s
• Water: 1433 m/s
• Wood: 3300-3600 m/s
• Brick: 4176 m/s
• Steel: 6100 m/s
• Diamond: 12000 m/s

Explanation

• There are around 639 skeletal muscles.
• The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
• The sartorius muscle is a thin, long, superficial muscle in the anterior compartment of the thigh.
