Explanation

In a concave mirror, the image size depends on the position of the object.

As the object moves closer to the mirror, the image size increases, and as it moves away, the image size decreases.

Explanation

Linear thermal expansion of a solid depends on:

• Increase in temperature
• Original length
• Properties of the material

Explanation

The springs in brakes and clutches are used to restore the original position of the components after they have been engaged or disengaged.

For example, in a brake system, the springs return the brake pads to their original position after the brake pedal is released.

Similarly, in a clutch system, the springs return the clutch plate to its original position after the clutch pedal is released.

Explanation

• Zero error is a type of systematic error that occurs when the instrument's zero point is not accurately calibrated, resulting in a consistent error in all measurements.
• Systematic errors are biases that affect the accuracy of a measurement, and zero error is a specific type of systematic error.

Explanation

• CNSA (China National Space Administration) is a government agency of the People's Republic of China.
• It was established in 1993.
• It is responsible for civil space administration and international space cooperation.

Explanation

Progressive waves are waves that transfer energy from one point to another through a medium, such as a solid, liquid, or gas.

They are also known as mechanical waves, and examples include:

• Water waves
• Sound waves
• Seismic waves (earthquakes)

Explanation

 If the temperature of the source of heat increases, the efficiency of a Carnot engine will increase.

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is directly related to the temperature difference between the hot and cold reservoirs.

A higher source temperature leads to a greater temperature difference and thus, a higher efficiency. 

Explanation

Sound waves diffract (bend) around corners, allowing us to hear them,

While light waves do not diffract as much, making it impossible to see around corners.

Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings.

Sound waves have longer wavelengths than light waves, which makes diffraction more noticeable for sound.

Polarization is a property of transverse waves, and while light waves can be polarized, sound waves cannot.

Dispersion is the separation of waves into different frequencies,

And while it can occur with light, it's not why we can hear around corners.

Explanation

A filament is a thin wire, typically made of tungsten, that is heated to produce a continuous flow of electrons.

When an electric current is passed through the filament, it heats up and releases electrons, creating a steady stream of electrons.

This principle is used in various devices such as vacuum tubes, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), and electron microscopes.
