The Gram's stain used for bacterial staining
(1) Safranin and iodine
(2) Crystal violet and cotton blue
(3) Cotton blue and iodine
(4) Crystal violet and iodine
Answer: (4) Crystal violet and iodine
Differential staining procedures divide bacteria into separate groups based on staining properties. The Gram stain, developed in 1884 by the Danish physician Christian Gram, is the most widely employed staining method in bacteriology. It is a differential staining procedure because it divides bacteria into two classes: Gram-negative and Gram-positive. In the first step of the Gram staining procedure, the smear is stained with the basic dye crystal violet. It is followed by the treatment with an iodine solution functioning as a mordant. That is, the iodine increases the interaction between the cell and the dye so that the cell is stained strongly. The smear is next stained decolourised by washing with alcohol or acetone. Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet, whereas Gram-negative bacteria lose their crystal violet and become colourless. Finally, the smear is counterstained with safranin. Safranin colours Gram-negative bacteria pink to red and leave Gram-positive bacteria dark purple.

(2) length = 300 cm, diameter = 3 mm
(3) length = 50 cm, diameter = 0.5 mm
(4) length = 100 cm, diameter = 1 mm
Answer: (3) length = 50 cm, diameter = 0.5 mm
Young’s modulus,
Y = $\frac{FL}{A∆L}$ = $\frac{4FL}{πD^2∆L}$ or
$∆L$ = $\frac{4FL}{πD^2Y}$
where F is the force applied, L is the length, D is the diameter and DL is the extension of the wire respectively. As each wire is made up of same material therefore their Young’s modulus is same for each wire. For all the four wires, Y, F (= tension) are the same.
∴ $∆L ∝\frac{L}{D^2$}$
In (1) $\frac{L}{D^2$}$ = $\frac{200 cm}{(0.2cm)^2}$ = $5×10^3cm^{-1}$
In (2) $\frac{L}{D^2$}$ = $\frac{300 cm}{(0.3cm)^2}$ = $3.3×10^3cm^{-1}$
In (3) $\frac{L}{D^2$}$ = $\frac{50 cm}{(0.05cm)^2}$ = $20×10^3cm^{-1}$

Which of the following is best close to an ideal black body?
(1) black lamp
(2) cavity maintained at constant temperature
(3) platinum black
(4) a lump of charcoal heated to high temperature
Answer: (2) cavity maintained at constant temperature
An ideal black body is one which absorbs all the incident radiation without reflecting or transmitting any part of it.
Black lamp absorbs approximately 96% of incident radiation.An ideal black body can be realized in practice by a small hole in the wall of a hollow body (as shown in figure) which is at uniform temperature. Any radiation entering the hollow body through the holes suffers a number of reflections and ultimately gets completely absorbed. This can be facilitated by coating the interior surface with black so that about 96% of the radiation is absorbed at each reflection. The portion of the interior surface opposite to the hole is made conical to avoid the escape of the reflected ray after one reflection.

Waves
A wave of frequency 100 Hz travels along a string towards its fixed end. When this wave travels back, after reflection, a node is formed at a distance of 10 cm from the fixed end. The speed of the wave (incident and reflected) is
(1) 20 m/s
(2) 40 m/s
(3) 5 m/s
(4) 10 m/s
Answer: (1) 20 m/s
Frequency (ν) = 100 Hz and distance from fixed end = 10 cm = 0.1 m. When a stationary wave is produced, the fixed end behaves as a node. Thus wavelength (λ) = 2 × 0.1 = 0.2 m. Therefore velocity v = νλ = 100 × 0.2 = 20 m/s.

Answer: (1) Infra-red rays
As the electromagnetic radiations from Sun pass through the atmosphere, some of them are absorbed by it while other reach the surface of earth. The range of wavelength which reaches earth lies in infrared region. This part of the radiation from the sun has shorter wavelength and can penetrate through the layer of gases like $CO_2$ and reach earth surface. But the radiation from the earth being of longer wavelength can escape through this layer. As a result the earth surface gets warm. This is known as green house effect.

(2) particle B will reach at ground first with respect to particle A
(3) both particles will reach at ground simultaneously
(4) both particles will reach at ground with same speed

There are four light-weight-rod samples A, B, C, D separately suspended by threads. A bar magnet is slowly brought near each sample and the following observations are noted (i) A is feebly repelled (ii) B is feebly attracted (iii) C is strongly attracted (iv) D remains unaffected Which one of the following is true?
(1) B is of a paramagnetic material
(2) C is of a diamagnetic material
(3) D is of a ferromagnetic material
(4) A is of a non-magnetic material
Answer: (1) B is of a paramagnetic material
Diamagnetic will be feebly repelled. Paramagnetic will be feebly attracted. Ferromagnetic will be strongly attracted. Therefore, A is of diamagnetic material. B is of paramagnetic material. C is of ferromagnetic material. D is of non-magnetic material.

Electromagnetic Induction
If the number of turns per unit length of a coil of solenoid is doubled, the self-inductance of the solenoid will
(1) remain unchanged
(2) be halved
(3) be doubled
(4) become four times
Answer: (4) become four times
Self inductance of a solenoid = $μ_0n^2Al$
where n is the number of turns per length. So self induction ∝ $n^2$
So inductance becomes 4 times when n is doubled.

Alternating Current
Two cables of copper are of equal lengths. One of them has a single wire of area of cross-section A, while other has 10 wires of cross-sectional area A/10 each. Give their suitability for transporting A.C. and D.C.
(1) only multiple strands for A.C., either for D.C.
(2) only multiple strands for A.C., only single strand for D.C.
(3) only single strand for D.C., either for A.C.
(4) only single strand for A.C., either for D.C.
Answer: (1) only multiple strands for A.C., either for D.C.
The major portion of the A.C. flows on the surface of the wire. So where a thick wire is required, a number of thin wires are joined together to give an equivalent effect of a thick wire. Therefore multiple strands are suitable for transporting A.C. Similarly multiple strands can also be used for D.C.
