Read the passage below and answer the question given below <br><br> The blue colour of the sky is due to the scattering of the sunlight by the molecules of the atmosphere. The molecules of air, such as $N_2$ and $O_2$ have sizes smaller than the wavelength of visible light. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere these molecules absorb some amount of sunlight and re-emit it. They scatter blue light of shorter wavelength more strongly than red light of stronger wavelength. When we look at the sky scattered light enters our eyes and this light contains blue light in large proportion. That is why the sky appears blue. <br><br> QUESTION : The colour of the sky in the absence of the atmosphere is

Read the following passage and answer the question given below <br><br> A parallel circuit divides the current in various components (appliances) and each component can draw current as per its appropriate operation. Separate on/off switch can be put with each component in parallel circuit. Moreover, total resistance in parallel circuit arrangement decreases and hence a stronger current can be drawn from a voltage source. In parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is lesser than the least of all the resistance. Connecting a number of resistors in parallel is like providing an equal number of paths, for the electron flow which results in a decrease in resistance. <br><br> Question : Two resistors of different resistances are to be connected to a battery so as to obtain a minimum current, then the mode of connecting the resistances is

Read the passage below and answer the following question <br><br> The phenomenon of splitting of white light into its component colours on passing through a refracting medium such a glass prism is called dispersion of light. The pattern obtained on the screen is called spectrum. <br><br> Cause for dispersion of light : Light rays of different colours travel with the same speed in vaccum. But in a refracting media like glss, water, etc; lights of different colours travel with different speeds. The speed of violet colour is the least while the speed of the red is the largest in glass. Hence the violet colour is deviated the most and the red colour the least. The other colur indigo, blue, green, yellow and orange are deviated by intermediate angles. <br><br> Question : The refractive index for violet is what is the electric charge
