Question : 1

Following rays are used in the diagnosis of intestinal diseases

a) β-rays

b) α-rays

c) X-rays

d) γ-rays

Answer: (c)

Question : 2

From the following statements, concerning ideal gas at any given temperature T, select the correct ones:

  1. The coefficient of volume expansion at constant pressure is the same for all ideal gases
  2. The average translational kinetic energy per molecule of oxygen gas is 3KT (K being Boltzmann constant)
  3. In a gaseous mixture, the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules of each component is the same
  4. The mean free path of molecules increases with the decrease in pressure

a) 1, 3 and 4

b) 3 and 4

c) 1 and 2

d) 1, 2 and 3

Answer: (a)

γv = γp = $1/{273}$ K

E = $3/2$ RT  is the same for all ideal gases at the same temperature.

The mean free path, λ = ${kT}/{√{2πd^2p}}$; so it increases with a decrease in pressure.

Question : 3

Suppose a tunnel is dug along a diameter of the earth. A particle is dropped from a point, a distance h directly above the tunnel, the motion of the particle is

a) parabolic

b) simple harmonic

c) oscillatory

d) non-periodic

Answer: (c)

Question : 4

The time taken to reach the Sunlight up to the surface of Earth is approximately

a) 8.5 minutes

b) 4.8 sec

c) 4.2 sec

d) 3.6 hours

Answer: (a)

Question : 5

Echo is a type of

a) neither reflected sound nor refracted sound

b) reflected sound

c) refracted sound

d) None of these

Answer: (b)

Question : 6

Consider the following statements:

  1. If a person looks at a coin which is in a bucket of water, the coin will appear to be closer than it really is.
  2. If a person under water looks at a coin above the water surface, the coin will appear to be at a higher level than it really is.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?

a) 2 only

b) 1 and 2

c) 1 only

d) None

Answer: (b)

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its speed. This is most commonly observed when a wave passes from one medium to another at any angle other than 90° or 0°.

The refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon.

In both cases, the phenomenon of refraction is applicable because there will be a change in the direction and speed as light enters from one media to other. In case 1 light for an observer outside water the light ray is travelling from a denser medium (water) to a rarer medium (air).

Thus, the image of the coin will appear closer due to refraction. Whereas in case 2 for the observer underwater refraction also takes place but in the opposite way as light travels from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (water) .

Thus, the image of the coin will appear at a higher level than the actual position of the coin.
