    • Suspensions, emulsions, aerosols, other mixtures

    • Materials which disperse light

    • Materials which disperse sound waves

    Correct Answer
    A. Suspensions, emulsions, aerosols, other mixtures
    Explanation
    Suspensions, emulsions, aerosols, and other mixtures are all examples of dispersed systems. Dispersed systems refer to a type of mixture where one substance is dispersed or spread throughout another substance. In the case of suspensions, solid particles are dispersed in a liquid or gas. Emulsions involve the dispersion of small droplets of one liquid within another immiscible liquid. Aerosols consist of small particles or liquid droplets dispersed in a gas. Other mixtures can also be considered dispersed systems if they involve the dispersion of one substance within another.

    What is the strength of a standing wave?

    • Equal to not the right answer

    • Equal to 2ωρvA2

    • Equal to 0

    • Equal to lg (I/I0)

    Correct Answer
    A. Equal to 0
    Explanation
    The strength of a standing wave is equal to 0. This means that there is no net transfer of energy in a standing wave. In a standing wave, the wave is trapped between two points and oscillates back and forth without any overall displacement. Therefore, the strength, or the amplitude, of the standing wave is zero.

    Due to light dispersion:

    • Red light refracts more than yellow light in material

    • Blue light refracts more than yellow light in material

    • Yellow light refracts more than blue light in material

    • Green light refracts more than orange light in material

    Correct Answer
    A. Blue light refracts more than yellow light in material
    Explanation
    When light passes through a material, it bends or refracts due to the change in its speed. This bending of light is different for different colors of light, which is known as dispersion. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than yellow light, and shorter wavelengths tend to refract more than longer wavelengths. Therefore, blue light refracts more than yellow light in a material.

    How does the myelin sheath of an axon affect the speed of the spread of an excitory signal?

    • Prevents spread

    • Decreases the speed

    • Increases the speed

    • Does not affect speed

    Correct Answer
    A. Increases the speed
    Explanation
    The myelin sheath of an axon acts as an insulating layer, covering the axon and allowing for faster transmission of electrical signals. It does this by preventing the leakage of ions and reducing the capacitance of the axon, which results in faster transmission of the signal. Therefore, the myelin sheath increases the speed of the spread of an excitatory signal.

    What is the difference between Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids?

    • The intrinsic potential energy in Newtonian fluids is dynamic, in Non-Newtonian fluids – static

    • Newton‘s laws apply to Newtonian fluids, but do not apply to Non-Newtonian fluids

    • Newtonian fluids‘ dynamic viscosity coefficient does not depend on flow conditions and is static, while for Non-Newtonian fluids the dynamic viscosity coefficient is dynamic and depends on flow conditions

    • (Newtonian fluids are better at absorbing ultrasound waves than Non-Newtonian fluids

    Correct Answer
    A. Newtonian fluids‘ dynamic viscosity coefficient does not depend on flow conditions and is static, while for Non-Newtonian fluids the dynamic viscosity coefficient is dynamic and depends on flow conditions
    Explanation
    The correct answer explains that the main difference between Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids lies in their dynamic viscosity coefficient. For Newtonian fluids, this coefficient does not depend on flow conditions and remains static. On the other hand, for Non-Newtonian fluids, the dynamic viscosity coefficient is dynamic and varies depending on the flow conditions. This means that the viscosity of Non-Newtonian fluids can change with the rate of flow or the amount of shear stress applied.

    Chronaxie is:

    • The shortest duration of irritation when strength is equal to rheobase

    • Highest possible irritation current strength

    • Longest duration of irritation

    • Shortest duration of irritation when current strength is equal to 2x rheobase

    Correct Answer
    A. Shortest duration of irritation when current strength is equal to 2x rheobase
    Explanation
    Chronaxie refers to the shortest duration of irritation required to stimulate a muscle or nerve fiber when the current strength is equal to 2 times the rheobase. In other words, it is the minimum amount of time needed to elicit a response from the muscle or nerve fiber at a specific current strength. This indicates that chronaxie is a measure of the excitability or responsiveness of the muscle or nerve fiber, with a shorter duration indicating a higher level of excitability.

    When is the kinetic energy of a freely oscillating material point the highest?

    • When the velocity of the material point is at its maximum

    • When the force affecting the material point is at its maximum

    • When the force affecting the material point is equal to zero

    • When the material point is the furthest away from the equilibrium position

    Correct Answer
    A. When the force affecting the material point is equal to zero
    Explanation
    The kinetic energy of a freely oscillating material point is highest when the force affecting the material point is equal to zero. This is because at this point, there is no force acting on the material point to slow it down or change its velocity. As a result, the material point can continue to move with maximum speed and kinetic energy.

    • Z =

      Test Physics Num 1 - Quiz

    • Z = ρω

    • Z= Lω +

      Test Physics Num 1 - Quiz
    Correct Answer
    A. Z = ρv
    Explanation
    The acoustic impedance of a medium is equal to the product of its density (ρ) and the velocity of sound (v) in that medium. This relationship is derived from the equation Z = ρv, where Z represents acoustic impedance. This equation shows that the acoustic impedance depends on the density and velocity of sound in the medium, indicating how resistant the medium is to the transmission of sound waves.

    The Doppler effect is:

    • A change in perceived sound frequency due to movement of the sound source

    • The spread of sound waves in biological mediums

    • The sound signal caused by blood cell movement

    • The signal of blood flow registered with a blood pressure monitor

    Correct Answer
    A. A change in perceived sound frequency due to movement of the sound source
    Explanation
    The Doppler effect refers to a change in perceived sound frequency due to the movement of the sound source. This phenomenon occurs when there is relative motion between the source of sound and the observer. As the sound source moves towards the observer, the perceived frequency of the sound waves increases, resulting in a higher pitch. Conversely, when the sound source moves away from the observer, the perceived frequency decreases, resulting in a lower pitch. This effect is commonly experienced when a siren approaches and then passes by, causing a change in the pitch of the sound.

    When the wave length increases, photon energy:

    • Does not change

    • Decreases

    • Increases

    • Photon energy is not related to wave length

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreases
    Explanation
    When the wavelength of a wave increases, the photon energy decreases. This is because photon energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and since photon energy is directly proportional to frequency, it also decreases. Therefore, when the wavelength increases, the photon energy decreases.

    In the space between the electrode and tissue appear:

    • Acoustic waves

    • Intensive electromagnetic radiation

    • Double electric layer

    • Charge-repellant forces

    • Excitory wave

    Correct Answer
    A. Double electric layer
    Explanation
    The space between the electrode and tissue forms a double electric layer. This refers to the formation of two layers of charge, one on the surface of the electrode and the other on the surface of the tissue. These layers are formed due to the movement of ions in the surrounding fluid, creating a separation of positive and negative charges. This double electric layer plays a crucial role in the transfer of electrical signals between the electrode and tissue, allowing for effective communication and stimulation.

    • The relation between absolute temperature and the fluid‘s internal potential energy

    • The spreading of mechanical waves in fluids

    • The relation between ideal (low viscosity) fluid flow and pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. The relation between ideal (low viscosity) fluid flow and pressure
    Explanation
    Bernoulli's principle states that in an ideal fluid flow with low viscosity, the pressure of the fluid decreases as the fluid's velocity increases. This principle describes the relationship between fluid flow and pressure, stating that as the fluid flows faster, the pressure it exerts decreases. This principle is commonly used in various applications, such as in the design of airplane wings and the functioning of a venturi meter.

    Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is best described as:

    • The magnetisation of material when affected with a constant magnetic field

    • The absorbtion of certain frequency electromagnetic waves in material when affected with a constant magnetic field (due to electrons jumping from a lower to a higher energy state in atoms)

    • A sudden increase in the amplitude of nuclei fluctation (oscillation) of atoms when affected with a constant magnetic field and certan frequency electromagnetic waves

    • The absorbtion of certain frequency electromagnetic waves in material when affected with a constant magnetic field (due to a shift in the magnetic moment orientation of atom nuclei)

    Correct Answer
    A. The absorbtion of certain frequency electromagnetic waves in material when affected with a constant magnetic field (due to a shift in the magnetic moment orientation of atom nuclei)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the absorption of certain frequency electromagnetic waves in material when affected with a constant magnetic field (due to a shift in the magnetic moment orientation of atom nuclei). This explanation accurately describes the process of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), where the nuclei of atoms align their magnetic moments with an external magnetic field and absorb energy from electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency. This absorption is caused by the shift in the orientation of the magnetic moments of the atom nuclei.

    Paramagnetic material is best described as a material, with particles that have:

    • Electric dipole moment

    • Electric quadrupole moment

    • Magnetic moment

    • Magnetic charge

    Correct Answer
    A. Magnetic moment
    Explanation
    A paramagnetic material is best described as a material with particles that have a magnetic moment. This means that the particles in the material have a small magnetic field associated with them, which aligns with an external magnetic field. This alignment causes the material to be weakly attracted to the magnetic field. Unlike ferromagnetic materials, paramagnetic materials do not retain their magnetism once the external magnetic field is removed.

    How are the electric and diffusive forces affecting K+ directed when the cell is at rest?

    • Electric force is directed inwards to the cell, diffusive – outwards

    • These forces are not active when the cells is at rest

    • When the cell is at rest only the diffusive force is active – directed outwards

    • Both these forces are directed inwards

    Correct Answer
    A. Electric force is directed inwards to the cell, diffusive – outwards
    Explanation
    When the cell is at rest, the electric force is directed inwards towards the cell, while the diffusive force is directed outwards. This means that the electric force is pulling potassium ions (K+) towards the inside of the cell, while the diffusive force is pushing the potassium ions outwards. These forces are active even when the cell is at rest, and their opposing directions create an equilibrium where the movement of potassium ions is balanced.

    During radioactive decay, after 4 halflives the amount of non-disintegrated nuclei left is:

    • 2 times less than at the beginning

    • 4 times less than at the beginning

    • 16 times less than at the beginning

    • 32 times less than at the beginning

    Correct Answer
    A. 16 times less than at the beginning
    Explanation
    During radioactive decay, the number of non-disintegrated nuclei decreases by half after each half-life. After 4 half-lives, the number of non-disintegrated nuclei would have decreased by a factor of 2^4, which is equal to 16. Therefore, the amount of non-disintegrated nuclei left is 16 times less than at the beginning.

    Which of the following correctly desribes the interaction between an electric field and a polar particle (molecule)

    •  F=q*E

    • M=p*E*sin α

    • M=p*(δE/δx)*sin α

    • F=p*E*cos α

    • F=q*(δE/δx)*cos α

    Correct Answer
    A. M=p*E*sin α
    Explanation
    The correct answer is M=p*E*sin α. This equation represents the torque (M) experienced by a polar particle (molecule) when placed in an electric field (E) at an angle (α) to the field. The torque is proportional to the dipole moment (p) of the particle and the magnitude of the electric field, and it is also affected by the angle between the dipole moment and the electric field direction. Therefore, M=p*E*sin α accurately describes the interaction between an electric field and a polar particle.

    An electrode is:

    • An active sensor

    • A passive direct sensor

    • A piezoelectric sensor

    • A resistive sensor

    Correct Answer
    A. A passive direct sensor
    Explanation
    An electrode is classified as a passive direct sensor because it does not actively generate a signal or require external power to function. Instead, it detects and measures electrical activity or signals in the environment or a biological system. Electrodes are typically made of conductive materials and are used in various applications such as electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG), and electrochemical analysis. They act as interfaces between the system being measured and the measuring instrument, allowing for the detection and recording of electrical signals without actively influencing the system.

    Which of the following phenomena is observable when an alternating electric field affects live tissues?

    • A change in cell polarity/polarization

    • Electromagnetic induction

    • The rotation of paramagnetic particles

    Correct Answer
    A. A change in cell polarity/polarization
    Explanation
    When an alternating electric field affects live tissues, it causes a change in cell polarity/polarization. This means that the electric charges within the cells shift and align in response to the alternating electric field. This phenomenon is observable as the cells undergo changes in their electrical properties, which can have various physiological effects on the tissues. It is important to note that electromagnetic induction and the rotation of paramagnetic particles are not directly related to the effect of an alternating electric field on live tissues.

    In order for the X-ray tube to radiate shorter X-rays:

    • You need to increase the electrical current strength

    • You need to increase the electrical resistance (impedance?)

    • You need to increase the resolution

    • You need to increase the voltage between the anode and the cathode

    Correct Answer
    A. You need to increase the voltage between the anode and the cathode
    Explanation
    Increasing the voltage between the anode and the cathode in the X-ray tube will cause the electrons to be accelerated with higher energy. This increased energy will result in the production of shorter wavelength X-rays, as wavelength is inversely proportional to energy. Therefore, increasing the voltage will lead to the emission of shorter X-rays.

    During radioactive decay, after 6 half lives the amount of nuclei left is:

    • 6 times less than at the start

    • 36 times less than at the start

    • 64 times less than at the start

    • 120 times less than at the start

    Correct Answer
    A. 64 times less than at the start
    Explanation
    During radioactive decay, the amount of nuclei left decreases by half after each half-life. Therefore, after 6 half-lives, the amount of nuclei left would be reduced by a factor of 2^6, which is equal to 64. Hence, the amount of nuclei left is 64 times less than at the start.

    What is electrophoresis?

    • The movement of dispersive particles when affected by gravitational force

    • The movement of dispersive particles due to pressure disparity

    • The movement of dispersive media when affected by an electric field

    • The movement of dispersive particles when affected by an electric field

    Correct Answer
    A. The movement of dispersive particles when affected by an electric field
    Explanation
    Electrophoresis is the movement of dispersive particles when affected by an electric field. This process is commonly used in laboratories to separate and analyze molecules based on their size and charge. When an electric field is applied, charged particles move towards the opposite charged electrode. This movement allows for the separation and identification of different molecules in a sample.

    Bremsstrahlung X-Rays (braking radiation x-rays) form due to:

    • Photon braking in the X-ray tube

    • Electron braking on the surface of the anode

    • Electron leaps between atom‘s electron layers

    • Electron braking on the surface of the cathode

    Correct Answer
    A. Electron braking on the surface of the anode
    Explanation
    Bremsstrahlung X-rays are formed due to electron braking on the surface of the anode. When high-speed electrons are decelerated or slowed down by the electric field near the anode, they emit X-ray photons. This process is known as bremsstrahlung radiation. The energy of the emitted X-rays depends on the energy lost by the electrons during braking. Therefore, the correct answer is electron braking on the surface of the anode.

    Cell action potential is:

    • Change in membrane potential when an excitory/stimulatory cell is affected with only electric stimuli

    • Change in membrane potential when an excitory/stimulatory cell is affected with over-threshold stimuli

    • The membrane potential of an unexcited cell

    • Change in membrane potential when a cell is affected with under-threshold stimuli

    Correct Answer
    A. Change in membrane potential when an excitory/stimulatory cell is affected with over-threshold stimuli
    Explanation
    Cell action potential refers to the change in membrane potential that occurs when an excitatory/stimulatory cell is affected by stimuli that exceed the threshold. This means that the cell is being stimulated with a strong enough signal to trigger an action potential, causing a rapid change in the cell's membrane potential. This change in membrane potential is essential for the transmission of signals within the nervous system and is a fundamental process in the functioning of neurons.

    The Nyquist Theorem states that:

    • A continuous-time signal is only defined at certain moments in time

    • A discrete-time signal is described using only the theory of relativity

    • The sampling frequency can‘t be lower than 2x the signal frequency

    • A continuous-time signal cannot be described

    • Discrete-time signals do not appear during biological processes

    Correct Answer
    A. The sampling frequency can‘t be lower than 2x the signal frequency
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the sampling frequency can't be lower than 2x the signal frequency. This is known as the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, which states that in order to accurately reconstruct a continuous-time signal from its samples, the sampling frequency must be at least twice the maximum frequency present in the signal. This is to avoid aliasing, where higher frequency components of the signal overlap and distort the reconstructed signal.

    Dark-field microscopy utilises:

    • Dark law/principle

    • Coherent light scattering principle

    • Uncoherent light scattering principle

    • Light absorbtion principle

    Correct Answer
    A. Coherent light scattering principle
    Explanation
    Dark-field microscopy utilizes the coherent light scattering principle. In dark-field microscopy, a special condenser is used to direct light at an angle to the sample, causing the light to scatter. This scattered light is then collected by the objective lens, while the direct light is blocked. The scattered light creates a bright image against a dark background, allowing for enhanced visualization of small particles or structures in the sample. Coherent light scattering refers to the scattering of light waves in a way that maintains their phase relationship, resulting in constructive interference and a clear, contrasted image.

    What is galvanization?

    • A diagnostic method that utilises alternating electrical current

    • A healing method that utilises alternating electrical current

    • A diagnostic method that utilises direct electrical current

    • Electrosurgery method

    • A healing method that utilises direct eletrical current

    Correct Answer
    A. A healing method that utilises direct eletrical current
    Explanation
    Galvanization is a healing method that utilizes direct electrical current. It involves the application of a small, direct electric current to a specific area of the body, typically through the use of electrodes. This method is commonly used in physical therapy to reduce pain and inflammation, promote tissue healing, and improve blood circulation. The direct electrical current helps stimulate the nerves and muscles, resulting in pain relief and enhanced healing processes.

    Na+/K+ pump ion transportation is:

    • Passive, because it doesn‘t require energy

    • Active, because it uses the cell‘s energy resources

    • Passive, because the ions are transported against the concentration gradient

    • Active, because charged particles are transported through the membrane

    Correct Answer
    A. Active, because it uses the cell‘s energy resources
    Explanation
    The Na+/K+ pump is considered active because it utilizes the cell's energy resources. This pump actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, against their concentration gradients. This process requires the hydrolysis of ATP to provide the energy needed for the pump to function. Therefore, the Na+/K+ pump is an example of active transport, as it requires energy expenditure by the cell.

    Which of the following phenomena is observable when a static magnetic field affects live tissues?

    • The rotation of polar particles along the field‘s line of force

    • The rotation of paramagnetic particles along the field‘s line of force

    • Electrostatic induction

    • Thermal phenomena

    • Cell polarization

    Correct Answer
    A. The rotation of paramagnetic particles along the field‘s line of force
    Explanation
    When a static magnetic field affects live tissues, the phenomenon that is observable is the rotation of paramagnetic particles along the field's line of force. Paramagnetic particles are attracted to magnetic fields and align themselves with the field's direction. This alignment causes them to rotate along the lines of force of the magnetic field. This phenomenon can be observed in certain biological systems where paramagnetic particles are present, such as in some types of cells or tissues.

    Reynolds number is:

    • A number describing the flow of ideal fluids; equal in numerical value to the ratio of fluid flow speed and vessel crosscut area

    • A number that shows the speed difference of ultrasound waves in fluid vs in air

    • A dimensionless number that describes the nature of fluid flow – whether the flow is laminar or turbulent

    • (a ratio of average laminar fluid flow speed and maximum laminar fluid flow speed

    Correct Answer
    A. A dimensionless number that describes the nature of fluid flow – whether the flow is laminar or turbulent
    Explanation
    The Reynolds number is a dimensionless number that describes the nature of fluid flow, indicating whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. It is not related to the flow speed or vessel crosscut area, nor does it show the speed difference of ultrasound waves in fluid versus air. The Reynolds number is calculated using the ratio of average laminar fluid flow speed and maximum laminar fluid flow speed.
