1. 1 Easy

   What physical quantity is measured in units of ohms?

   Answer: electrical resistance

   Why: Named after Georg Ohm, resistance measures how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.

2. 2 Medium

   What wave property determines the pitch of a sound wave?

   Answer: frequency

   Why: High-frequency sound waves produce high-pitched sounds, like a whistle, while low frequencies produce deep bass notes.

3. 3 Hard

   What does a neutral atom lose to become a positive ion?

   Answer: electrons

   Why: Since electrons carry a negative charge, losing them leaves the atom with a net positive charge.

4. 4 Easy

   Who used prisms to show white light contains many colors?

   Answer: Isaac Newton

   Why: Newton used a second prism to show that separated rays kept their colors, so the first prism had not created them.

5. 5 Medium

   What does a car's kinetic energy primarily convert into during braking?

   Answer: thermal energy

   Why: Friction turns the car's motion into heat: everyday road braking warms discs to roughly 130°C, while track discs reach around 500°C.

6. 6 Hard

   What gas law states pressure is inversely proportional to volume?

   Answer: Boyle's law

   Why: Boyle's law explains why a balloon shrinks as you push it underwater: squeeze a gas into less space and its pressure climbs in exact proportion.
