Q: Decibel is the unit used for

A: intensity of light

B: intensity heat

C: intensity of sound

D: frequency of radio wave



Correct Option: C  [ intensity of sound ]

Remark:

Explanation: The decibel (dB) is a unit used to measure the intensity or loudness of sound. It expresses sound level on a logarithmic scale relative to a standard reference intensity of 10-12 watt/m², which is the faintest sound the average human ear can hear. Normal conversation is around 60 dB, city traffic about 80–90 dB, and sounds above 120 dB can cause pain or hearing damage. The decibel scale helps compare very large variations in sound intensity conveniently.


Q: In India which is the most widely used form of renewable energy ?

A: Geothermal energy

B: Hydro-electric energy

C: Solar energy

D: Thermal energy



Correct Option: C  [ Solar energy ]

Remark:

In India, the most widely used form of renewable energy is Solar Energy. Due to the country’s tropical location, India receives abundant sunlight throughout the year, making solar power a highly viable and sustainable energy source. It is harnessed using solar panels for electricity generation and heating applications under initiatives like National Solar Mission.

  • Geothermal energy: Used only in limited pilot projects.
  • Hydro-electric energy: Important but not as rapidly expanding as solar.
