Atom's nucleus contains: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Atom's nucleus contains:
A. Protons and neutrons
B. Only protons
C. Protons, neutrons, electrons
D. Electrons and protons
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Nucleus: protons (+) and neutrons (neutral); electrons orbit outside. Atomic number = proton count; mass number = protons + neutrons. Memory tip: 'Nucleus = nucleons (p+n); electrons in shells'. Basic atomic structure frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

The time period of a simple pendulum on Earth is T. If taken to a planet where g is 4 times, new period is
A. T/2
B. 2T
C. T/4
D. T

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
T ∝ 1/√g, g'=4g => T' = T/√4 = T/2.

The phenomenon of mirage is due to
A. Dispersion
B. Total internal reflection
C. Reflection
D. Refraction and total internal reflection

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Mirage occurs due to refraction of light through air layers of different temperatures (densities) and total internal reflection when ray tries to go from denser to rarer medium at grazing incidence. It's an optical illusion, not real water.

Polarization proves light is:
A. Transverse wave
B. Longitudinal wave
C. Matter wave
D. Mechanical wave

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Polarization possible only for transverse waves (oscillations ⊥ propagation). Longitudinal waves (sound) cannot be polarized. Memory aid: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse nature; light is EM transverse wave'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive exams.
