Nuclear fission is the process in which MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Nuclear fission is the process in which
A. Light nuclei combine
B. Nucleus emits gamma rays
C. Electrons are emitted
D. Heavy nucleus splits
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Fission: heavy nucleus (e.g., U-235) splits into smaller nuclei plus neutrons and energy. Fusion: light nuclei combine (e.g., hydrogen to helium). Both release energy. Fission used in reactors and bombs.

A bimetallic strip is made of brass and invar. On heating, it bends with brass on
A. Inner side
B. No bending
C. Outer side
D. Depends on thickness

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Brass expands more than invar. So it becomes longer, forcing strip to bend with brass on convex (outer) side.

SONAR uses waves of frequency:
A. < 20 Hz
B. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
C. > 20 kHz
D. Any frequency

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
SONAR uses ultrasonic waves (>20 kHz) for better directionality, resolution, and reduced absorption in water. Audible sound (20Hz-20kHz) diffracts more; infrasonic (

If the distance between two charges is doubled, the electrostatic force between them will become:
A. Half
B. One-fourth
C. Double
D. Four times

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
According to Coulomb's Law, the electrostatic force (F) between two point charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them (F ∝ 1/r²). If the distance is doubled (r becomes 2r), the new force F' ∝ 1/(2r)² = 1/4r². Thus, the force becomes one-fourth of its original value.
