Cornstarch in water exhibits non-Newtonian behavior, as its viscosity changes with the applied shear stress.

Diffraction is utilized in various applications including optical instruments, radio transmission, and medical imaging.

Fiber optic communication relies on total internal reflection to transmit light signals over long distances with minimal loss.

A Newtonian fluid has a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate.

Fluids are often considered incompressible for practical purposes, especially in hydrodynamics.

Temperature is a scalar quantity as it has magnitude but no direction.

Joule is the unit of energy in the SI system, defined as the work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter.

The NAND gate is a universal gate because it can be used to create any other gate.

Frictional force is an example of a non-conservative force as it dissipates energy as heat.

Magnetic force is an example of a non-contact force, as it acts at a distance.

Cornstarch in water (oobleck) is a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits varying viscosity depending on the shear rate.

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is exchanged with the surroundings. Compressing a gas in a piston without heat exchange is an example.

Heating a metal rod is an example of conduction, where heat is transferred through direct contact between particles.

Boiling water in a pot is a classic example of convection, where hot water rises and cooler water descends.

Heat transfer in a pot of boiling water is an example of forced convection.

Sunlight warming the Earth is an example of heat transfer by radiation, as it does not require a medium.

Liter is not a base unit; it is a derived unit for volume, while meter, kilogram, and second are base units.

A satellite in a stable orbit does experience a net force (gravitational force), but it is in free fall, moving with constant speed along a curved path.

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer, not a characteristic of wave motion. The other options are properties of waves.

An inductor is not a component of a Wheatstone bridge; it consists of resistors, a galvanometer, and a battery.

While the other conditions are necessary for balance, the resistances do not need to be equal, just in the same ratio.

Frictional force is not a fundamental force of nature; it is a macroscopic force resulting from the interaction of surfaces.

Force is not a fundamental quantity; it is a derived quantity based on mass, length, and time.

Joule is not a fundamental unit; it is a derived unit.

Newton's Law is not a gas law; it pertains to motion and forces.

Diffraction does not produce polarized light; it is a phenomenon related to the bending of waves around obstacles.

A Wheatstone bridge is not used for generating high voltages; it is used for measuring resistances.

Determining the specific heat of a substance is not a practical application of the Wheatstone bridge.

Continuous Wave Modulation (CWM) is not a type of digital modulation; it refers to analog modulation techniques.

Plastic deformation is not elastic; it is permanent deformation that occurs beyond the elastic limit.
