Physics MCQs

Notes:
Uranium is the most common fuel used to produce nuclear energy. Uranium is a nonrenewable energy source that is found in rocks all over the world. However, the specific type of uranium used to produce nuclear energy, called U-235, is rare.

Notes:
Astigmatism is due to imperfect spherical nature of eye lens. The focal length of eye lens is in two orthogonal directions become different so they cannot see objects in two orthogonal directions simultaneously. This defect in direction can be removed by using cylindrical lens in a particular direction.

Notes:
Bats use SONAR (Sound Navigation & Ranging).Sonar is a technique that uses sound propagation to navigate, communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels.

Notes:
Scattering of light is the phenomenon in which light rays get deviated from its straight path on striking an obstacle.The scattering of light can be of many reason. Some of them are dust, smoke and gas molecules.

Notes:
Mach number refers to the ratio of the velocity of a fluid to the velocity of sound in that fluid, named after Ernst Mach (1838–1916), an Austrian physicist and philosopher. Speed of sound is Mach 1 speed.

Notes:
Gravitational Forces are the weakest forces in nature. They obey inverse square law as they vary inversely as the square of the distance between the two bodies. They are central forces and conservative forces. They operate over very long distances having an infinite range.

Notes:
The S.I. unit for Luminous Intensity is candela. The symbol used for candela is cd. Mole is the S.I unit for Quantity of Matter ampere is the S.I unit for Electric Current. Weber is the S.I unit for Magnetic Flux Luminous Intensity is the amount of light that a point source radiates in a given direction

Notes:
Pressure and Coefficient of Elasticity have the same unit i.e. N m^-2 (Newton per metre square) Other important units: Rate of Flow: m³s^-1 Acceleration: ms^-2 Rydberg constant: 1/m Gas constant: J/K Impulse: Ns Moment of Force: Nm

Notes:
The apparent weight of the person becomes less than the actual weight when the elevator is accelerating downwards. The apparent weight of the person becomes more than the actual weight when the elevator is accelerating upwards.

Notes:
Centripetal force is the force required to move a body uniformly in a circle. This force acts along the radius and towards the centre of the circle. Centrifugal force is the force that arises when a body is moving actually along a circular path by virtue of the tendency of the body to regain its path.
