Rapid urbanization in Kerala has led to significant social changes. From a community health standpoint, which of the following is a direct and commonly observed health challenge associated with this sociological phenomenon?

Accepted Answer

C. A rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and lifestyle disorders among the urban population. — Rapid urbanization often leads to significant shifts in lifestyle, including more sedentary habits, dietary changes, increased stress, and environmental pollution. These factors commonly contribute to a rise in non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular issues. While sanitation might improve, the overall context often shifts disease burden. Access to traditional healthcare may decrease, and joint family systems often weaken in urban settings.

Question 8

A light ray passes from air (refractive index = 1.00) into a glass slab (refractive index = 1.52) at an angle of incidence of 30°. What will be the angle of refraction inside the glass slab? (Use Snell's law: n₁ sinθ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂)

Accepted Answer

B. 25.4° — Using Snell's law: sinθ₂ = (n₁/n₂) * sinθ₁ = (1.00/1.52) * sin(30°) ≈ 0.3289, so θ₂ ≈ arcsin(0.3289) ≈ 19.2°. Option A (19.2°) is correct. Option B (25.4°) is a common miscalculation from incorrect substitution. Option C (30.0°) assumes no refraction. Option D (41.8°) results from reversing n₁ and n₂.

Answer

A. 19.2°

Answer

C. 30.0°

Answer

D. 41.8°
