1. What property of a wave is responsible for determining its energy?

• A. Amplitude
• B. Wavelength
• C. Frequency
• D. Velocity

Correct answer: a

Rationale: The amplitude of a wave determines its energy, with higher amplitudes corresponding to higher energy levels.

2. Which element is a good conductor of electricity but is not a metal?

• A. Copper
• B. Silver
• C. Graphite
• D. Gold

Correct answer: C

Rationale: While metals are known for their conductivity, some non-metals like graphite also exhibit this property due to their unique electronic structure

3. Reactions requiring light energy to proceed are classified as:

• A. Combustion reactions
• B. Endothermic reactions
• C. Photochemical reactions
• D. Double displacement reactions

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Photochemical reactions." Photochemical reactions are a type of chemical reaction that requires light energy to proceed. During a photochemical reaction, light energy is absorbed by a substance, leading to changes in its chemical structure or properties. This process is different from combustion reactions (A), which involve the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen to release heat and light energy. Endothermic reactions (B) absorb heat energy, not light energy, to proceed. Double displacement reactions (D) involve the exchange of ions between reactants, but do not specifically require light energy to occur. Therefore, the most appropriate classification for reactions requiring light energy is photochemical reactions.

4. She decides to have a decentralized staffing system. Which of the following is an advantage

• A. greater control of activities
• B. Conserves time
• C. Compatible with computerization
• D. Promotes better interpersonal relationship

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'greater control of activities.' Having a decentralized staffing system allows for the delegation of decision-making to lower levels of the organization, which can result in greater control over activities. This can lead to quicker responses to issues and better alignment with specific departmental needs. Options B, C, and D do not directly relate to the advantage of a decentralized staffing system. While conserving time, compatibility with computerization, and promoting better interpersonal relationships are important considerations in staffing decisions, they do not specifically align with the advantage of greater control that a decentralized system provides.

5. A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 100cm
• B. 125cm
• C. 150cm
• D. 175cm

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Multiply the side length by the number of sides: perimeter = number of sides * side length = 5 * 25cm = 125cm.

6. What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?

• A. Pure substances have fixed composition, mixtures don't.
• B. Mixtures have fixed composition, pure substances don't
• C. Pure substances are always solids, mixtures can be any state
• D. Pure substances are always elements, mixtures are always compounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: - Pure substances have a definite and constant composition, meaning they are made up of only one type of atom or molecule. This composition does not vary. - Mixtures, on the other hand, are composed of two or more substances physically combined. The components of a mixture can be present in varying proportions, leading to a variable composition. - Option A correctly distinguishes between pure substances and mixtures based on the fixed composition of pure substances and the variable composition of mixtures.
