The angle of incidence for a light ray is 30°. According to laws of reflection, angle of reflection is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The angle of incidence for a light ray is 30°. According to laws of reflection, angle of reflection is
A. 90°
B. 15°
C. 60°
D. 30°
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Law of reflection: angle of incidence = angle of reflection, both measured from normal. So 30°. If angle with mirror is given, convert to normal. Always equal for smooth surfaces.

The phenomenon of resonance in sound is used in:
A. Tuning forks
B. Musical instruments
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. Neither

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Resonance (amplification at natural frequency) is exploited in musical instruments (e.g., guitar body resonates with string frequencies) and tuning forks (designed to vibrate at precise frequency for calibration). Memory tip: 'Resonance applications: musical instruments (amplify sound), tuning forks (frequency standard), bridges (avoid resonance to prevent collapse)'. This application question tests wave phenomena uses, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link physical principles to practical applications; competitive exams emphasize real-world relevance of physics concepts, including both beneficial and hazardous aspects of resonance.
