The sun is the most direct source of energy. It powers the flow of wind and water cycle and sustains life. Plants use this energy to synthesize carbohydrates from simple substances like carbon dioxide and water. All the food is derived from the process of photosynthesis. In fact, energy by which all animals including human beings live is generated by the oxidation of the food produced by the plants. The sun contains in its core hydrogen nuclei moving at very great speeds. Whenever these nuclei collide and fuse to form a nucleus of heavier element it results in nuclear reactions. These reactions generate tremendous amount of energy. It is this energy that power sun.

The sum emits lights of different wavelengths. If sunlight is passed through a prism each of these wavelengths is refracted by a different amount. Violet has the shortest wavelength and red has the longest. The wavelength of green is midway between that of violet and red. Light with wavelength shorter than that of violet is called ultraviolet light. Light with wavelength longer than that of red light is called infrared light. About one third of the light from the sun is infrared. We know that nuclear reactions that go on in the interior of the sun liberate a large amount of energy. Nuclei of deuterium, which is the heavier isotope of hydrogen, collide in the sun's interior to produce helium. The energy liberated in these reaction fires the sun, which, in turn, emits lights of different wavelengths. Of these wavelengths, it is the infrared wavelengths that heat up the earth. The reaction in which the hydrogen in the sun is converted into helium is called a fusion reaction.

How are carbohydrates synthesized?

What is fusion reaction?

"A little learning is a dangerous thing" - when Alexander Pope wrote this famous line he had in mind contemporary poetasters, versifiers, and critics who made themselves ridiculous on account of their shallow and superficial knowledge. But what was said about these people has a ring of universal truth. In every walk of life, be it arts or literature, science or politics, engineering or economics, law or administration, incomplete and superficial knowledge always leads to dangerous consequences. An ill-educated teacher will misguide the students. An incompetent surgeon would play with the lives of his patients. An ill-trained solider will become a danger to his comrades rather than his enemies. A lawyer without a thorough knowledge of law would min his clients, similarly, an inefficient engineer will build bridges which may fall under the weigl1t of the vehicles on it. Therefore, we cannot rely on persons who are not proficient in their subject. Such persons are a danger to themselves and to others also. They never realize their short comings and hence make no progress. A man of little learning is more prone to be conceited than a really learned person, for the latter regards himself as a mere child gathering pebbles on the shores of the ocean of knowledge.

Who is a mere child gathering pebbles on the shore of the ocean of knowledge?

As long as 340 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle in his book 'On the Heavens', was able to put forward two good statements for believing that the earth was a round sphere rather than a flat plate. First he realised that eclipses of the moon were caused by the earth coming between the sun and the moon. The earth's shadow on the moon was always round, which would be true only if the earth was spherical. If the earth had been a flat disc, the shadow would have been elongated and elliptical, unless the eclipse always occurred at a time when the sun was directly under the centre of the disc. Second, the Greeks knew from their travels that the North star appeared lower in the sky when viewed in the South than it did in the more northerly regions (since the North star lies over the North pole), it appears to be directly above an observer at the North pole, but to someone looking from the equator, it appears to lie just at the horizon, From the difference in the apparent position of the North star in Egypt and Greece, Aristotle estimated the distance around the earth was 400,000 stadia.

The Greeks found that the North star appeared lower in the sky ____________

The Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and freight transportation, first used to describe an open source vactrain design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX. Hyperloop is described as a sealed tube or system of tubes with low air pressure through which a pod may travel substantially free of air resistance or friction. The Hyperloop could potentially convey people or objects at airline or hypersonic speeds while being energy efficient compared with existing high-speed rail systems. This, if implemented, may reduce travel times compared to train and airplane travel over distances of under approximately 1,500 kilometers (930 miles).

Elon Musk first publicly mentioned the Hyperloop in 2012, His initial concept incorporated reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on air bearings driven by linear induction motors and axial compressors. The Hyperloop Alpha concept was first published in August 2013, proposing, and examining a route running from the Los Angeles region to the San Francisco Bay Area, roughly following the Interstate 5 corridor. The Hyperloop Genesis paper conceived of a hyperloop system that would propel passengers along the 350-mile (560 km) route at a speed of 760 mph (1,200 km/h), allowing for a travel time of 35 minutes, which is considerably faster than current rail or air travel times. Preliminary cost estimates for this LA-SF suggested route were included in the white paper - US$6 billion for a passenger-only version, and US$7.5 billion for a somewhat larger-diameter version transporting passengers and vehicles. However, transportation analysts expressed doubts that the system could be constructed on that budget, including some predictions that the Hyperloop would be several billion dollars over budget once construction, development and operation costs are taken into consideration.

The Hyperloop concept has been explicitly "open-sourced" by Musk and SpaceX, and others have been encouraged to take the ideas and further develop them. To that end, a few companies have been formed, and several interdisciplinary student-led teams are working to advance the technology. SpaceX built an approximately 1-kilometer-long (0.62 mi) subscale track for its pod design competition at its headquarters in Hawthorne, California. TUM Hyperloop set the world record of 463 km/h (288 mph) in July 2019 during the Hyperloop pod competition at SpaceX. Virgin Hyperloop conducted the first human trial in November 2020 at its test site in Ls Vegas.

Which of the following is not true about Hyperloop?
