The eye defect 'astigmatism' is corrected using
A. Bifocal lens
B. Convex lens
C. Cylindrical lens
D. Concave lens
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Astigmatism: cornea curvature not spherical, different focal lengths in different planes. Corrected by cylindrical lens which has different powers in perpendicular axes. Not simple spherical lens.

Question #1 Report Error
In the photoelectric effect, increasing the intensity of the incident light (while keeping frequency constant) will cause:
A. An increase in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.
B. An increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons per second.
C. A decrease in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.
D. A change in the threshold frequency of the metal surface.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the kinetic energy of emitted electrons depends exclusively on the frequency of the incident light and the metal's work function. Intensity represents the number of photons striking the surface per second. More photons mean more collisions with electrons, leading strictly to an increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons (photoelectric current), not their energy.

Question #2 Report Error
A car moving with speed 54 km/h is stopped in 5 s. The distance covered before stop is
A. 54 m
B. 75 m
C. 37.5 m
D. 27 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
54 km/h = 15 m/s. u=15, v=0, t=5. a = (0-15)/5 = -3 m/s². s = ut+½at² = 15×5 + ½×(-3)×25 = 75 - 37.5 = 37.5 m. Or s = (u+v)/2 × t = 7.5×5 = 37.5 m.
