Q. The relation between focal length (f) and power (P) of a lens is:

  • (A) P = f
  • (B) P = 1/f
  • (C) P = f²
  • (D) P = 2f
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (B) P = 1/f

Q. Which color of light has the lowest frequency?

  • (A) Violet
  • (B) Blue
  • (C) Green
  • (D) Red
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (D) Red
Explanation: Red light has the longest wavelength and therefore the lowest frequency in the visible spectrum.

Q. The charge on an electron is:

  • (A) +1.6 × 10โป¹โน C
  • (B) -1.6 × 10โป¹โน C
  • (C) +9.1 × 10โป³¹ C
  • (D) -9.1 × 10โป³¹ C
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (B) -1.6 × 10โป¹โน C
Explanation: The elementary charge carried by an electron is -1.6 × 10โป¹โน coulomb.

Q. The phenomenon of total internal reflection occurs when light travels:

  • (A) From rarer to denser medium
  • (B) From denser to rarer medium
  • (C) Between media of same density
  • (D) In vacuum only
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (B) From denser to rarer medium
Explanation: Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser to a rarer medium and the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle.

Q. The unit of electric power is:

  • (A) Volt
  • (B) Joule
  • (C) Watt
  • (D) Ampere
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (C) Watt
Explanation: Electric power is measured in watts (W), where P = VI.

Q. The radius of gyration depends upon:

  • (A) Mass only
  • (B) Shape and distribution of mass
  • (C) Velocity only
  • (D) Temperature
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (B) Shape and distribution of mass
Explanation: Radius of gyration depends on how the mass is distributed relative to the axis of rotation.

Q. The instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure is:

  • (A) Thermometer
  • (B) Hydrometer
  • (C) Barometer
  • (D) Hygrometer
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (C) Barometer
Explanation: Atmospheric pressure is measured using a barometer.

Q. The frequency of a wave is 50 Hz. Its time period is:

  • (A) 0.5 s
  • (B) 0.2 s
  • (C) 0.02 s
  • (D) 0.002 s
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (C) 0.02 s
Explanation: Time period T = 1/f = 1/50 = 0.02 s.

Q. The nucleus of an atom contains:

  • (A) Electrons only
  • (B) Protons only
  • (C) Neutrons only
  • (D) Protons and neutrons
๐Ÿ“ Notes
โœ… Correct Answer: (D) Protons and neutrons
Explanation: The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons.
