The gravitational force between two masses is F. If the distance is tripled, force becomes
A. 3F
B. F/3
C. 9F
D. F/9

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
F ∝ 1/r², so if r→3r, F→F/9.

Work moving charge on equipotential surface:
A. Zero
B. Path dependent
C. Infinite
D. qV

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Equipotential: ΔV = 0 ⇒ W = qΔV = 0. Electric field perpendicular to equipotentials. Memory aid: 'Equipotential: no work to move charge along it'. Electrostatics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

SONAR technology utilizes which type of waves?
A. Ultrasonic waves
B. Infrasonic waves
C. Visible light
D. Radio waves

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) uses ultrasonic waves (frequency > 20 kHz) because they have high directionality, short wavelength for better resolution, and minimal absorption in water. Radio waves attenuate rapidly in water; infrasonic waves have long wavelengths unsuitable for detection; light doesn't propagate far in water. Memory tip: 'Ultra = beyond human hearing; used in SONAR/ultrasound imaging'. This application question tests knowledge of wave frequency ranges and their practical uses, common in competitive exams linking physics to technology. Always recall frequency thresholds: infrasonic 20kHz.
