A. Interference
B. Dispersion
C. Polarisation
D. Diffraction
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A A only
- B C and D only
- C A and B only
- D C only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) A and B only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Polarisation is the only phenomenon in the list that specifically proves the transverse nature of waves. This is because only waves with vibrations perpendicular to their direction of travel (transverse) can be restricted to a single plane, whereas longitudinal waves cannot be…

- Read the passage and answer the following
Microbes are organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. They include bacteria, archaea, protists, viruses, prions, and fungi. They account for most of the diversity of life on earth. Far more microbes inhabit a single person's body than there are people on the entire planet. Microbes also dominate in terms of their ability to live and thrive in extreme environments, including clouds, deep-sea volcanoes, springs, ice caps, and animal intestines. Most animals, including humans, exhibit numerous associations with microbes. Our "human microbiome" includes our skin, hair, mouth, and gut.
Which of the following statements are correct about microbes ?
(A) All microbes are pathogenic
(B) Microbes can grow at 80°C temperature
(C) Microbes can be present at places where no other life-forms possibly exist

During anaerobic sludge digestion, bacteria produce a mixture of gases such as methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. These gases form biogas and can be used as source of energy as it is inflammable. The bioactive molecule, cyclosporin A, that is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ-transplant patients, is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum. You must have noticed that bottled fruit juices bought from the market are clearer as compared to those made at home. This is because the bottled juices are clarified by the use of pectinases and proteases. Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. It acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme responsible for synthesis of cholesterol.
