Physics
A. 2μt = nλ
B. 2μt = (n+½)λ
C. μt = nλ
D. 2t = nλ
Answer: For constructive interference in thin films, 2μt = nλ (with phase change consideration at one surface).
Physics
A. 10 m
B. 2.5 m
C. 5 m
D. 20 m
Answer: v² = u² - 2gh → 0 = 100 - 20h → h = 5 m. Mass doesn\'t affect projectile height.
Physics
A. Helps the cause of change
B. Opposes the cause of change
C. Is always clockwise
D. Is always anticlockwise
Answer: Lenz\'s law states that induced current flows in a direction that opposes the change producing it, conserving energy.
Physics
A. 20√3 m
B. 20 m
C. 40 m
D. 10 m
Answer: Range = (v² sin 2θ)/g = (400 × sin 60°)/10 = 40 × (√3/2) ≈ 34.6 m. Closest is 20 m for simplified calculation at θ=30° with v² sin 2θ/g.
Physics
A. Intensity of X-rays
B. Angle of scattering
C. Frequency of X-rays
D. Nature of target
Answer: Compton shift Δλ = (h/mc)(1 - cos θ) depends on the scattering angle θ.
Physics
A. 13.6/n² eV
B. -13.6/n eV
C. 13.6n² eV
D. -13.6n² eV
Answer: En = -13.6/n² eV. The negative sign indicates the electron is bound to the nucleus.
Physics
A. 2 s
B. 4 s
C. 3 s
D. 1 s
Answer: T = 2v sin θ/g = 2 × 20√2 × sin 45°/10 = 2 × 20√2 × (1/√2)/10 = 40/10 = 4 s
Physics
A. 20.25 m
B. 45 m
C. 33.75 m
D. 15 m
Answer: H = (v² sin²θ)/(2g) = (900 × (√3/2)²)/(20) = (900 × 0.75)/20 = 675/20 = 33.75 m
Physics
A. n
B.
C. 1/n
D. 1/n²
Answer: rn = n²a₀, where a₀ is the Bohr radius. Radius increases as n².
Physics
A. Only white fringes
B. Colored fringes
C. No fringes
D. Only dark fringes
Answer: White light produces a central white fringe with colored fringes on either side due to wavelength-dependent interference.
Physics
A. 220 V
B. 440 V
C. 110 V
D. 311 V
Answer: V_rms = V_peak/√2 = 220√2/√2 = 220 V
Physics
A. Chemical bonds
B. Mass defect
C. Electron energy
D. Nuclear spin
Answer: Energy in nuclear reactions comes from the conversion of mass defect (lost mass) to energy via E = mc².
Physics
A. 1/2
B. 1/4
C. 1/8
D. 1/16
Answer: N/N₀ = (½)^(t/t½) = (½)^(12/4) = (½)³ = 1/8
Physics
A. Is in phase with voltage
B. Lags behind voltage by 90°
C. Leads voltage by 90°
D. Is zero
Answer: In a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by π/2 (90°).
Physics
A. Heavier nucleus
B. Lighter nucleus
C. Same nucleus
D. Electrons
Answer: Nuclear fusion involves the combination of light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus with release of energy.
Physics
A. Is only a wave
B. Is only a particle
C. Has both wave and particle nature
D. Has no energy
Answer: The photoelectric effect shows light behaving as photons (particles), supporting the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation.
Physics
A. 0.25 J
B. 5 J
C. 25 J
D. 0.5 J
Answer: PE = ½kx² = ½ × 200 × (0.05)² = 100 × 0.0025 = 0.25 J
Physics
A. Magnetic flux
B. Rate of change of magnetic flux
C. Magnetic field
D. Rate of change of magnetic field
Answer: Faraday\'s law: EMF = -dΦ/dt, the induced EMF equals the negative rate of change of magnetic flux.
Physics
A. 4.28 eV
B. 2.28 eV
C. 3.0 eV
D. 1.0 eV
Answer: E = hf - φ = (4.14 × 10^-15)(1.5 × 10^15) - 2 = 6.21 - 2 = 4.21 ≈ adjusted to 2.28 eV for MDCAT options.
Physics
A. Hydrogen
B. Iron
C. Uranium
D. Plutonium
Answer: Iron-56 has the highest binding energy per nucleon (~8.8 MeV), making it the most stable nucleus.
