MCQ 11 Mark
An equi$-$convex crown glass lens has a focal length $20 \ cm$ for violet rays. Here $\mu_{ v }=1.5 \ \mu_{ r }=1.47$. Its focal length for red rays is
  • A
    $24.85 \ cm$
  • B
    $20.82 \ cm$
  • $21.28 \ cm$
  • D
    $22.85 \ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$21.28 \ cm$
$\frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)$
For violet light,
$\frac{1}{f_v}=(1.5-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)=0.5\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)$
For red light,
$\frac{1}{f_r}=(1.47-1)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)=0.47\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)$
Hence, $f_r=\frac{0.5}{0.47} f_v$
$=1.064 \times 20$
$=21.28 \ cm$

MCQ 21 Mark
The output of the given circuit in Figure.
Image
  • A
    would be like a half-wave rectifier with negative cycles in output
  • B
    would be like a half-wave rectifier with positive cycles in output
  • C
    would be like that of a full-wave rectifier
  • D
    would be zero at all times
Answer
(a) would be like a half-wave rectifier with negative cycles in output
Explanation: When the positive cycle is at A, the diode will be in forwarding bias, and resistance due to diode is approximately zero the current in the circuit is maximum so potential across the diode will be about zero. Similarly, when there is a negative half cycle at A, the diode will be in reverse bias and resistance will be maximum so potential difference across the diode is $V_m \sin \omega t$ with negative at A.

MCQ 81 Mark
The dielectric constant K of an insulator will be-
  • A
    0.4
  • B
    4
  • C
    -4
  • D
    $0$
Answer
(b) 4
Explanation: Dielectric constant of air is 1. All dielectrics generally have a value of the dielectric constant greater than 1. $K=\frac{F}{F_m}$
where Fm is the force between two charged particles in a medium of dielectric constant K and F is the force between the two charges when placed in air.The force between two charges is greatest in air or vacuum and it decreases when any medium is placed between the charges. K cannot have negative, fractional or zero values.

MCQ 101 Mark
Which of the following is used in optical fibers?
  • A
    Scattering
  • B
    Refraction
  • C
    Diffraction
  • D
    Total internal reflection
Answer
(d) Total internal reflection
Explanation: When light travelling in an optically dense medium hits a boundary at a steep angle, the light is completely reflected. This is called total internal reflection. This effect is used in optical fibres to confine light in the core.

MCQ 111 Mark
How many coulombs of electricity must pass through acidulated water to liberate 22.4 litres of hydrogen at N.T.P.?
  • A
    193000 C
  • B
    $1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$
  • C
    96500 C
  • D
    19300 C
Answer
(a) 193000 C
Explanation: Reduction equation taking place at the cathode is as follow:
$2 H^{+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow H_2(g)$
It implies that 2 moles of electrons are required to produce 1 mole (= 22.4 liters) of Hydrogen. Hence,
1 mole of electron is = 1 Faraday
and 1 Faraday = 96500 Coulombs of charge
$\therefore 2$ moles of electrons $=193000$ Coulombs of charge.
