Question #1 Report Error
The resolving power of an astronomical telescope can be significantly increased by:
A. Using light of a longer wavelength.
B. Increasing the focal length of the objective lens.
C. Decreasing the focal length of the eyepiece.
D. Increasing the aperture (diameter) of the objective lens.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Resolving power is a telescope's ability to distinguish closely spaced objects (like double stars) as separate. It is proportional to D / lambda, where D is the diameter (aperture) of the objective lens and lambda is the wavelength of light. Increasing the aperture D directly and strictly increases the resolving power.

Assertion (A): Gamma rays are fundamentally un-deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Reason (R): Gamma rays carry no electrical charge.
A. A is true but R is false.
B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
D. A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Electric fields deflect charged particles via Coulomb forces (F=qE), and magnetic fields deflect moving charged particles via Lorentz forces (F=qvB). Gamma rays are purely high-energy electromagnetic photons. Because they lack any electrical charge (q=0), both electric and magnetic forces on them are exactly zero. Therefore, they pass through fields completely un-deflected. R explains A perfectly.

Hydraulic brakes used in automobiles operate on the basis of:
A. Pascal's Law
B. Archimedes' Principle
C. Bernoulli's Theorem
D. Newton's Law of Viscosity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hydraulic brakes operate on Pascal's Law. It states that an external pressure applied to an enclosed, incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished equally in all directions throughout the fluid volume. When force is applied to the small brake pedal cylinder, it exerts a large pressure that is transmitted to the larger wheel cylinders, amplifying the force.
