According to Wien's Displacement Law, if the absolute temperature of a radiating black body is doubled, the wavelength corresponding to maximum spectral emissive power will: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Wien's Displacement Law, if the absolute temperature of a radiating black body is doubled, the wavelength corresponding to maximum spectral emissive power will:
A. Increase four times
B. Remain unchanged
C. Double
D. Halve
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Wien's Displacement Law states that the wavelength at which a black body emits maximum radiation (lambda_m) is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature (T). lambda_m * T = b (Wien's constant). If the temperature T is doubled (2T), the peak wavelength lambda_m must strictly halve to maintain the constant product.

A ball is dropped from a height of 5 m on a floor and rebounds to 1.25 m. Coefficient of restitution is
A. 0.25
B. 0.8
C. 0.5
D. 1

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
e = √(h₂/h₁) = √(1.25/5) = √0.25 = 0.5.

The power of a lens is -2 D. This lens is:
A. Convex lens of focal length 50 cm
B. Concave lens of focal length 200 cm
C. Convex lens of focal length 200 cm
D. Concave lens of focal length 50 cm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Power P = 1/f (in meters). P = -2 D ⇒ f = 1/(-2) = -0.5 m = -50 cm. Negative focal length indicates diverging (concave) lens. Convex lenses have positive power. Option A correctly states concave lens with |f| = 50 cm. Memory tip: 'Negative power = concave lens; f(in cm) = 100/P(in D)'. This direct application of lens power definition is common in competitive exams. Always convert diopters to focal length carefully, noting sign convention: negative for diverging lenses, positive for converging.

A bullet of mass 20 g is fired with velocity 200 m/s. Its momentum is
A. 0.4 kg m/s
B. 4 kg m/s
C. 4000 kg m/s
D. 40 kg m/s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Mass m = 20 g = 0.02 kg. Momentum p = m v = 0.02 × 200 = 4 kg m/s. Always convert mass to kg. Momentum unit kg·m/s.
