A scientist kept 80 generation of Drosophila in darkness, and even after that , the flies had normal eyes. This disapproves the law of

A

Natural selection

B

Acquired characters

C

Use and disuse

D

Synthetic theory

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As the acquired character of Drosophilla in darkness affect only on somatic cells and not only on germ cells. Thus it do not inherited to next generation.

Negative Refractive Index: One of the most fundamental phenomena in optics is refraction. When a beam of light crosses the interface between two different materials, its path is altered depending on the difference in the refractive indices of the materials. The greater the difference, the greater the refraction of the beam. For all known naturally occurring materials the refractive index assumes only positive values. But does this have to be the case? In 1967, Soviet physicist Victor Veselago hypothesized that a material with a negative refractive index could exist without violating any of the laws of physics. Veselago predicted that this remarkable material would exhibit a wide variety of new optical phenomena. However, until recently no one had found such a material and Veselago's ideas had remained untested. Recently, meta-material samples are being tested for negative refractive index. But the experiments show significant losses and this could be an intrinsic property of negative index materials. Snell's law is satisfied for the material having a negative refractive index, but the direction of the refracted light ray is 'mirror-imaged about the normal to the surface. There will be an interesting difference in image formation if a vessel is filled with "negative water" having refractive index - 1.33 instead of regular water having refractive index 1.33. Say, there is a fish in a vessel filled with negative water. The position of the fish is such that the observer cannot see it due to normal refraction since the refracted ray does not reach to his eye. But due to negative refraction, he will be able to see it since the refracted ray now reaches his eye. When the angle of incidence will be equal to angle of refraction for material having negative refraction index?

The Delhi High Court directed the Indian Air Force (IAF) to review and change its protocols dealing with issues of stress and substance abuse in the force, saying its systems have to be in tune with the law. The direction by a bench of justices S Muralidhar and Vinod Goel was issued as it disapproved of the manner in which the IAF had kept a 30-year-old corporal confined in a hospital's psychiatric ward as he was an alcoholic Which of the following can be logically inferred from the statement above?

When Jonathan (the seagull) came, it was well about after dark, and he floated in moonlight on the surface of the ocean. His wings were ragged bars of lead, but the weight of failure was even heavier on his back. He wished, feebly, that the weight would be just enough to drag him gently down to the bottom, and end it all. But soon he came back to normal. He pushed wearily away from the dark water and flew towards the land, grateful for what he had learned about work-saving low-altitude flying. The word 'wearily' means
