Question 1568

Who invented the contact lens?

AEnrico Fermi

BAdolf Gaston Eugen Fick

CSandford Fleming

DBenoit Fourneyron

Show answer

B. Adolf Gaston Eugen FickAdolf Gaston Eugen Fick, a German physiologist, invented the first successful contact lens in 1888. His design consisted of a glass lens that covered the entire eye, resting on the sclera (the white part of the eye). Though bulky and uncomfortable by today’s standards, it laid the foundation for modern soft and gas-permeable contact lenses used in vision correction and cosmetics. Other options (for context) Enrico Fermi: Known for his work in nuclear physics and development of the first nuclear reactor. Sandford Fleming: Introduced the concept of standard time zones. Benoit Fourneyron: Invented the water turbine, not related to optics or vision correction.

AWheather

BMeasurement

CDistance

Dnone of these

Show answer

B. MeasurementMetrology is the science of measurement. It deals with the establishment of units of measurement, their standards, and the development of new measuring methods and instruments. Metrology ensures accuracy and consistency in measurements across scientific research, engineering, manufacturing, and trade. It is broadly classified into three types — scientific metrology, industrial metrology, and legal metrology. Other options (for context) Weather: The study of weather and atmosphere is called Meteorology, not Metrology. Distance: Measuring distance is just one aspect of metrology, not its entire scope. None of these: Incorrect — metrology specifically refers to measurement science.

Question 1564

Purity of milk is tested by:

AElectrometer

BLactometer

CRadiometer

DRefractometer

Show answer

B. LactometerThe purity of milk is tested using a Lactometer. It works on the principle of Archimedes’ principle and is used to measure the specific gravity (density) of milk. Pure milk has a specific gravity ranging between 1.026 and 1.032. If water or other substances are added, the density decreases, indicating adulteration. The lactometer thus helps determine whether the milk is pure or diluted. Other options (for context) Electrometer: Measures electric potential or charge, not related to milk testing. Radiometer: Measures radiant energy or light intensity. Refractometer: Used to measure refractive index, commonly for sugar solutions, not milk purity.
