A body is thrown vertically upwards with kinetic energy 100 J. At highest point, kinetic energy is
A. 200 J
B. 0 J
C. 50 J
D. 100 J
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
At highest point velocity zero, so K.E. = 0. All converted to P.E.

Question #1 Report Error
The critical angle for light passing from glass (n=1.5) to air is approximately:
A. 60°
B. 42°
C. 30°
D. 90°

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Critical angle θ_c for total internal reflection: sinθ_c = n₂/n₁, where n₁ > n₂. Here n₁=1.5 (glass), n₂=1 (air), so sinθ_c = 1/1.5 = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667 ⇒ θ_c = sin⁻¹(0.6667) ≈ 41.8° ≈ 42°. Memory aid: 'sinθ_c = 1/n for glass to air'. This calculation tests understanding of total internal reflection conditions, crucial for optics in competitive exams. Always ensure light travels from denser to rarer medium for TIR to be possible; otherwise, no critical angle exists.

Question #3 Report Error
The part of human eye that controls amount of light entering is
A. Retina
B. Cornea
C. Iris
D. Lens

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Iris adjusts pupil size. In bright light pupil constricts, dim light dilates. Retina forms image. Cornea and lens focus. Eye is like camera.
