Q. Consider the following statements:
1.The LIGO-India project aims to move an advanced LIGO detector from Hanford (USA) to the Hingoli district in Maharashtra.
2.The project is a collaborative effort piloted by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
3.Microgravity environments allow researchers to observe physical and biological systems behaving exactly as they do under Earth’s normal gravity.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation:
- Statements 1 & 2 are correct: These describe the InDIGO initiative and its regulatory oversight.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: The value of microgravity research lies in the fact that systems behave differently (e.g., fluid dynamics, crystal growth, and cell behavior) because the dominant force of gravity is removed.
