52. Match List-I with List-II.

List-IList-II
(Shutter Speed)(Aperture)
(a) 1/500I. f-8
(b) 1/250II. f-5.6
(c) 1/125III. f-11
(d) 1/60IV. f-16

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(a)(b)(c)(d)
A.IIIIIIIV
B.IIIIIIIV
C.IVIIIIII
D.IIIIIIIV
Correct Answer: B.
Solution:

(a) 1/500: This fast shutter speed requires a wider aperture (f-5.6) to compensate for the reduced light intake.

(b) 1/250: This shutter speed falls between the two extremes, so an aperture of f-8 might be a good balance.

(c) 1/125: With a slower shutter speed, a slightly narrower aperture (f-11) can still provide enough light for a good exposure.

(d) 1/60: This slow shutter speed necessitates a relatively narrow aperture (f-16) to avoid overexposure.

53. Converting a leaseband video signal to an RF signal is known as:

Correct Answer: B. Video modulation
Solution:Converting a baseband video signal to an RF (Radio Frequency) signal is known as video modulation. In this process, the baseband video signal, which typically consists of analog or digital video data, is modulated onto a carrier wave at a specific frequency suitable for transmission over the airwaves.

This modulation process is essential for broadcasting video signals over RF mediums such as television broadcasts or cable transmissions. Therefore, “Video modulation,” accurately describes this process.

54. Who produced and directed the movie 'Gandhi'?

Correct Answer: C. Video frequency conversion
Solution:Richard Attenborough directed and produced the 1982 film Gandhi, which stars Ben Kingsley as Mahatma Gandhi. The film was a co-production between India and the United Kingdom, with a screenplay by John Briley.

Attenborough decided to make the film in 1962 after reading a biography about Gandhi, and spent the next 20 years trying to get the project off the ground.

56. A phenomenon or event that can be measured or manipulated is known as_______.

Correct Answer: B. Validity
Solution:A variable is a characteristic or attribute that can take on different values. It’s the fundamental unit of analysis in research and can be measured or manipulated by researchers to study its effect on other variables.

Variables change over time or across different individuals or entities. They are fundamental elements in research because they are what researchers aim to understand measure, manipulate, or predict. Examples include temperature, age, income level, or test scores.

57. Characteristics of a good research tool are:

(a) Reliability
(b) Availability
(c) Validity
(d) Usability
(e) Scalability

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct Answer: C. (a), (c), (e) only
Solution:

(a) Reliability: A good research tool should yield consistent results when used repeatedly under similar conditions. Reliability refers to the extent to which the tool produces stable and consistent measurements over time and across different situations.

(c) Validity: A good research tool should accurately measure what it is intended to measure. Validity refers to the extent to which a tool measures what it claims to measure and whether it effectively captures the concept or construct being studied.

(d) Usability: A good research tool should be easy to use and understand for both researchers and participants. Usability encompasses factors such as clarity of instructions, simplicity of administration, and ease of data collection and analysis.
