The splitting of white light into seven colours is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The splitting of white light into seven colours is called
A. Scattering
B. Dispersion
C. Total internal reflection
D. Refraction
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Dispersion: separation due to different refractive indices for different colours. Refraction is bending. Scattering (Tyndall effect) makes sky blue. Total internal reflection in optical fibers.

Question #1 Report Error
Pressure cooker cooks food faster because
A. High pressure raises boiling point
B. High pressure lowers boiling point
C. Low pressure raises boiling point
D. Temperature is low

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Higher pressure inside increases boiling point, food cooks at higher temperature.

Question #2 Report Error
Why does food cook faster in a pressure cooker?
A. Increased pressure raises the boiling point of water.
B. The trapped steam adds extra heat directly to the food.
C. Increased pressure lowers the boiling point of water.
D. The metal of the cooker conducts heat much faster.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In an open vessel, water boils at 100°C, and extra heat merely creates steam rather than raising the temperature. A pressure cooker traps steam, increasing the internal pressure above atmospheric pressure. Increased pressure raises the boiling point of water (often to around 120°C). Cooking the food at this higher temperature significantly reduces cooking time.
