A convex lens is immersed in water. Its focal length MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A convex lens is immersed in water. Its focal length
A. Decreases
B. Remains same
C. Increases
D. Becomes infinite
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Lens maker's formula: 1/f = (μ_lens/μ_medium - 1)(...). In water, relative refractive index reduces, so power decreases, focal length increases. Glass in water behaves less converging.

A. 320 J
B. 240 J
C. 80 J
D. 400 J

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:

Two electric bulbs rated 60W, 220V and 100W, 220V are connected strictly in series across a 220V supply. Which bulb will glow brighter?
A. 60W bulb
B. Both will glow with equal brightness.
C. Neither will glow.
D. 100W bulb

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Resistance of a bulb is R = V^2 / P. The 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 100W bulb. When connected in series, the exact same current (I) flows through both. The power consumed (which determines brightness) is given by P = I^2R. Since the 60W bulb has higher resistance (R), it consumes more power and glows brighter.

Dimensional formula [M⁰L⁰T⁰] represents:
A. Refractive index
B. Angle
C. All of these
D. Strain

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Dimensionless quantities: angle (radian = arc/radius), strain (ΔL/L), refractive index (ratio of speeds). All have [M⁰L⁰T⁰]. Memory aid: 'Ratios of same dimensions ⇒ dimensionless'. Dimensional analysis question frequently tested in competitive exams to identify dimensionless physical quantities.
