Medium n=2. Light speed in medium: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Medium n=2. Light speed in medium:
A. 1.5×10⁸ m/s
B. 0.5×10⁸ m/s
C. 3×10⁸ m/s
D. 6×10⁸ m/s
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
v = c/n = 3×10⁸/2 = 1.5×10⁸ m/s. Direct refractive index application. Memory tip: 'Higher n ⇒ slower light; v = c/n'. Optics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1 Report Error
The time period of oscillation of a mass M attached to a spring of force constant k is:
A. π√(M/k)
B. 2π√(g/l)
C. 2π√(M/k)
D. 2π√(k/M)

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For spring-mass system undergoing SHM, time period T = 2π√(M/k), derived from F = -kx = Ma ⇒ a = -(k/M)x, so ω² = k/M, T=2π/ω=2π√(M/k). Option B has inverse ratio; C misses factor 2; D is for pendulum. Memory tip: 'Spring: T ∝ √(M/k); Pendulum: T ∝ √(l/g)'. This standard formula is frequently tested in oscillations sections of competitive exams. Always verify dimensions: √(kg / (N/m)) = √(kg·m/N) = √(s²) = s, correct for time period.

In a transistor, the collector current is 1 mA and base current 10 μA. Emitter current is
A. 1.01 mA
B. 1.1 mA
C. 0.9 mA
D. 0.99 mA

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
I_E = I_C + I_B = 1 mA + 0.01 mA = 1.01 mA.

Question #3 Report Error
According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, the force of attraction between two bodies is inversely proportional to:
A. The distance between them.
B. The product of their masses.
C. The square of the distance between their centers.
D. The sum of their masses.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that the gravitational force (F) between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses (m1 × m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r²) between their centers. The mathematical formula is F = G(m1m2)/r².
