Q.11 Medium Physics
A lens has a focal length of 15 cm. What is its power?
A+6.67 D
B-6.67 D
C+2.25 D
D-2.25 D
Correct Answer:  A. +6.67 D
Explanation:

Power P = 1/f (in meters). P = 1/0.15 = 6.67 Diopters (positive for converging lens)

Q.12 Medium Physics
An object is placed 30 cm in front of a concave mirror with focal length 10 cm. Where is the image formed?
A15 cm behind the mirror
B15 cm in front of the mirror
C20 cm in front of the mirror
D20 cm behind the mirror
Correct Answer:  A. 15 cm behind the mirror
Explanation:

Using mirror formula 1/f = 1/u + 1/v, where f = -10 cm, u = -30 cm, we get v = -15 cm (behind mirror)

Q.13 Easy Physics
Which phenomenon explains the formation of a rainbow?
ARefraction and dispersion
BReflection only
CDiffraction only
DInterference only
Correct Answer:  A. Refraction and dispersion
Explanation:

Rainbows form due to refraction of sunlight entering water droplets and dispersion of different wavelengths

Q.14 Medium Physics
A transformer has 500 turns in primary and 100 turns in secondary coil. If primary voltage is 220V, what is the secondary voltage?
A44 V
B1100 V
C22 V
D110 V
Correct Answer:  A. 44 V
Explanation:

Using transformer equation Vs/Vp = Ns/Np, we get Vs = 220 × (100/500) = 44 V

Q.15 Easy Physics
What is the angle of incidence when light ray falls on a plane mirror and the angle of reflection is 35°?
A35°
B55°
C70°
D90°
Correct Answer:  A. 35°
Explanation:

According to law of reflection, angle of incidence equals angle of reflection

Q.18 Medium Physics
A radioactive element has a half-life of 10 years. After 30 years, what fraction of the original sample remains?
A1/2
B1/4
C1/8
D1/16
Correct Answer:  C. 1/8
Explanation:

After 3 half-lives (30 years), the fraction remaining = (1/2)³ = 1/8

Q.19 Medium Physics
Which statement about elastic collisions is correct?
AMomentum is not conserved
BKinetic energy is conserved
CObjects always stick together
DMaximum energy is lost
Correct Answer:  B. Kinetic energy is conserved
Explanation:

In elastic collisions, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved

Take Test
Q.20 Medium Physics
What is the young's modulus of a material?
AStress/Strain
BStrain/Stress
CForce × Area
DForce/Volume
Correct Answer:  A. Stress/Strain
Explanation:

Young's modulus Y = Stress/Strain = (F/A)/(ΔL/L), a measure of material stiffness
