- Decibels
- Decameter
- Kilobase
- Dobson units
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In the study of atmospheric sciences, particularly concerning the ozone layer, the thickness of ozone is quantified using a specific unit known as the Dobson unit (DU). This is the standard unit for measuring the total amount of ozone in a column of the Earth's atmosphere. One Dobson unit refers to a layer of ozone that would be 0.01 millimeters (or 10 micrometers) thick under standard temperature and pressure conditions. Therefore, among the provided options, the correct answer is: Dobson units.

A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :

- Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 km/h in the direction X to Y. She notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
