Questions Related to commercial applications

Solar energy is 

  1. Cleanest source of energy.

  2. Helpful in photosynthesis.

  3. Renewable source of energy.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available.
Solar power can be used to generate electricity, it is also used in relatively simple technology to heat water (solar water heaters).

Energy source which do not evolve $CO _{2}$


  1. Oil

  2. Coke

  3. Nuclear energy

  4. Other organic substance


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The processes for which any CO2 is not evolved is :

  • all the forms of nuclear energy,
  • hydroelectricity (though dam reservoirs in the tropics might free a little methane, which is a greenhouse gas, because of the decaying of biological debris in the water),
  • sun rays,
  • wind,
  • tidal energy,
  • geothermal energy,
  • biomass if replanted.
  • So the correct option is C.

Which non-conventional method is used to produce electricity at Sardar Sarovar Dam?

  1. Wind energy

  2. Tidal energy

  3. Geothermal energy

  4. Hydropower


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hydropower is a renewable, non-polluting and environmentally benign source of energy. Sardar Sarovar dam uses hyropower to produce electricity.

An inexhaustible non-conventional energy source is

  1. Coal

  2. Petroleum

  3. Solar radiations

  4. Electricity from nuclear plants


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Energy obtained by using wind, tides, solar etc. in renewable energy, also called non-conventional energy, solar energy is inexhaustible source of energy.

So, the correct answer is 'Solar radiations'

Main renewable source of energy is

  1. Forest

  2. Fuel gas

  3. petroleum

  4. Coal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fuel gas, coal, petroleum, cannot be replenished back once they are finished, they are non-renewable sources, while forest if tried can be obtained back.

So, the correct answer is 'Forest'

Renewable products are available from

  1. Fossil fuels

  2. Agriculture

  3. Tides

  4. Rainfall


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Renewable products can be obtained back once finished, products from agricultural activities can be considered as a renewable product.

So, the correct answer is 'Agriculture'

Best source of renewable energy is

  1. Cattle

  2. Petroleum

  3. Coal

  4. Trees


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources —such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, trees and geothermal heat—which are renewable (naturally replenished).
  • Trees are very important for us as a renewable resource. Trees are a natural resource that can be renewed by planting of trees and replacing the trees that are harvested for use by people.
  • Hence the Best source of renewable energy is trees.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Trees'.

Renewable exhaustible natural resource of energy is

  1. Biomass/ forest

  2. Coal

  3. Petroleum

  4. Kerosene


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Renewable source of energy is a type of resource which can be replenished back easily. Coal, petroleum, kerosene will take millions of years to replenish back so, they are non-renewable source of energy.

So, the correct answer is 'Biomass/ forest'
