Question #2
The angle of reflection is measured from
A. Reflected ray
B. Surface of mirror
C. Incident ray
D. Normal to the surface

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Angle of incidence and reflection are measured with respect to the normal (perpendicular) at point of incidence. Not from surface. If angle from surface given, convert.

Question #3
A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting:
A. A high resistance in series
B. A low resistance in series
C. A high resistance in parallel
D. A low resistance in parallel

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An ammeter must have very low resistance so it does not alter the circuit current it is measuring. To convert a sensitive galvanometer into an ammeter, a very low resistance called a 'shunt' is connected in parallel to it. This diverts most of the current away from the delicate galvanometer coil while still allowing a proportional measurement.
