Physics
A. Maximum
B. Minimum
C. Equal
D. Zero
Answer: Wheatstone bridge is balanced when P/Q = R/S, making the galvanometer reading zero.
Physics
A. Maximum
B. Minimum
C. Zero
D. Infinite
Answer: Kirchhoff\'s junction rule states ΣI = 0 at any junction, based on conservation of charge.
Physics
A. m₀
B. m₀/√(1-v²/c²)
C. m₀√(1-v²/c²)
D. m₀(1-v²/c²)
Answer: Relativistic mass: m = m₀/√(1-v²/c²). Mass increases with velocity.
Physics
A. nh
B. n²h
C. nh/2π
D. n/2πh
Answer: Bohr\'s quantization condition: L = nh/2π = nℏ, where ℏ = h/2π.
Physics
A. Wavelength
B. Slit width
C. Number of slits
D. Ratio d/λ must not exceed 1 for sin θ
Answer: The maximum order n is limited by d sin θ = nλ, where sin θ ≤ 1, so n ≤ d/λ.
Physics
A. λ = t½/ln2
B. λ = ln2/t½
C. λ = t½ × ln2
D. λ = 1/t½
Answer: λ = ln2/t½. The decay constant and half-life are inversely related.
Physics
A. 13.6 eV
B. 3.4 eV
C. 0.85 eV
D. 1.51 eV
Answer: The energy needed to remove an electron from ground state (n=1) is 13.6 eV.
Physics
A. 0.123 nm
B. 1.23 nm
C. 0.012 nm
D. 12.3 nm
Answer: λ = h/√(2meV) = 1.227/√V nm. For V = 100, λ = 1.227/10 = 0.1227 nm ≈ 0.123 nm
Physics
A. Becquerel
B. Curie
C. Rutherford
D. All of the above
Answer: Activity can be measured in Becquerel (SI), Curie, or Rutherford units. 1 Ci = 3.7 × 10^10 Bq.
Physics
A. E = mv²
B. E = mc²
C. E = hν
D. E = p²/2m
Answer: Einstein\'s mass-energy equivalence: E = mc², where c is the speed of light.
Physics
A. Charged particles
B. High energy photons
C. Electrons
D. Neutrons
Answer: Gamma rays are high energy electromagnetic photons emitted during nuclear transitions.
Physics
A. Electrons
B. Helium nuclei
C. Protons
D. Neutrons
Answer: Alpha particles are helium nuclei (⁴He²⁺) with mass number 4 and charge +2e.
Physics
A. Longer
B. Shorter
C. Same
D. Zero
Answer: Length contraction: L = L₀√(1-v²/c²). Moving objects appear shorter in the direction of motion.
Physics
A. Electron
B. Proton
C. Alpha particle
D. Gamma ray
Answer: In beta minus decay, a neutron converts to a proton, emitting an electron and antineutrino.
Physics
A. Faster
B. Slower
C. Same speed
D. Stops
Answer: Time dilation: Δt = Δt₀/√(1-v²/c²). Moving clocks run slower than stationary ones.
Physics
A. p-side to negative, n-side to positive
B. p-side to positive, n-side to negative
C. Both sides to positive
D. Both sides to negative
Answer: Forward bias: p-side connected to positive terminal, n-side to negative, reducing the barrier potential.
Physics
A. mc²
B. hf
C. h/m
D. mv²
Answer: E = hf = hc/λ, where h is Planck\'s constant and f is the frequency of the photon.
Physics
A. I₀/2
B. I₀/4
C. I₀
D. I₀/√2
Answer: By Malus\'s law: I = I₀ cos²θ = I₀ cos²45° = I₀ × (1/√2)² = I₀/2
Physics
A. Intensity of light
B. Frequency of light
C. Time of exposure
D. Number of photons
Answer: KE_max = hf - φ, so maximum kinetic energy depends on the frequency of incident light, not its intensity.
Physics
A. Positive
B. Negative
C. Zero
D. Equal to EMF
Answer: Kirchhoff\'s loop rule states ΣV = 0 around any closed loop, based on conservation of energy.
