Question #2 Report Error
Dispersion occurs because:
A. TIR occurs
B. Different frequencies
C. Different colors have different speeds in medium
D. Prism absorbs colors

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
n varies with λ ⇒ v = c/n varies ⇒ different refraction angles (Snell's law). Frequency constant; wavelength changes in medium. Memory aid: 'Dispersion: n(λ) ⇒ v(λ) ⇒ different bending; violet bends most'. Optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Solar cell converts:
A. Mechanical to electricity
B. Light to electricity
C. Chemical to electricity
D. Heat to electricity

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Photovoltaic effect: photons excite electrons in semiconductor, creating voltage. Direct light-to-electricity conversion. Memory tip: 'Photo = light; voltaic = electricity'. Renewable energy principle frequently tested in competitive exams to assess energy conversion understanding.
