A ray of light passes from air to glass (refractive index 1.5). If angle of incidence is 30°, angle of refraction is (sin30=0.5) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A ray of light passes from air to glass (refractive index 1.5). If angle of incidence is 30°, angle of refraction is (sin30=0.5)
A. 60°
B. 19.47°
C. 45°
D. 30°
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Snell's law: n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r. 1×0.5 = 1.5 sin r => sin r = 0.5/1.5 = 1/3 ≈ 0.3333 => r ≈ 19.47°. So A.

Projectile horizontal range maximum at angle:
A. 90°
B. 60°
C. 30°
D. 45°

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g. sin(2θ) maximum (=1) when 2θ=90° ⇒ θ=45°. Standard result for level ground projection. Memory aid: 'Max range at 45°; max height at 90°'. Projectile motion fact frequently tested in competitive exams.

A piece of ice is floating in a glass beaker containing water. When all the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker will:
A. First rise, then fall
B. Rise
C. Remain the same
D. Fall

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
According to Archimedes' principle, the floating ice displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight. When the ice melts, it transforms into a volume of water that is exactly equal to the volume of water it displaced while floating. Therefore, the water level remains unchanged.
