Q1. Chogyal was the title of the traditional ruler of which part / state of India?
Ans. Sikkim
Q2. Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg were pioneers in which branch of physics?
Ans . Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is the field of physics that explains how extremely small objects simultaneously have the characteristics of both particles (tiny pieces of matter) and waves (a disturbance or variation that transfers energy). Physicists call this the “wave-particle duality.”
Q3. What is a biomarker?
In biomedical contexts, a biomarker, or biological marker, is a measurable indicator of some biological state or condition. Biomarkers are often measured and evaluated using blood, urine, or soft tissues to examine normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.
Q4. What is a Beaufort scale, what does it measure?
The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale. One of the first scales to estimate wind speeds and the effects was created by Britain’s Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1857). He developed the scale in 1805 to help sailors estimate the winds via visual observations. The scale starts with 0 and goes to a force of 12. A Category 1 hurricane is a 12 on the Beaufort scale, a table that measures the strength of winds.
Q5. The famed temple of Angkor Vat is located in which country?
Ans: Angkor Wat (“City/Capital of Temples”) is a Hindu-Buddhist temple complex in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Located on a site measuring 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m2; 402 acres) within the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor, it is considered the largest religious structure in the world by Guinness World Records. Originally constructed in 1150 CE as a Hindu temple dedicated to the deity Vishnu, it was gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the century.
