  1. Which of the following statements is not true regarding LASER?

A.) LASER light is used in bar-code scanners

B.) The emitted LASER light is notable for its high degree of dispersive power unattainable using other technologies.

C.) A LASER is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification .

D.) LASER beams can be focused to very tiny spots, achieving a very high irradiance.

  1. Crystals of which of the following naturally-occuring substance exhibits both ‘pyroelectric’ and ‘piezoelectric’ properties making it versatile for application in the field of electronics?

A.) Mica

B.) Quartz

C.) Topaz

D.) grapite

Answer: Option ‘B’ – Quartz –  Quartz crystals have piezoelectric properties: they develop an electric potential upon the application of mechanical stress. An early use of this property of quartz crystals was in phonograph pickups. A common piezoelectric use of quartz today is as a crystal oscillator. The quartz clock is a familiar device using the mineral. Quartz is also strongly pyroelectric. Temperature changes create positive and negative charges within the crystal.
