Which of the following is a fundamental unit in the SI system?
A. Newton
B. Candela
C. Joule
D. Pascal

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The seven fundamental SI units are: metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol), and candela (cd). Candela is the unit of luminous intensity. Newton, joule, and pascal are derived units. Newton = kg·m/s², joule = kg·m²/s², pascal = kg/(m·s²). Hence, candela is a fundamental unit. Exam tip: Remember the acronym ‘MKS A K M C’ for the seven base units.

Question #3 Report Error
Which defect of vision is correctly matched with its correcting lens?
A. Hypermetropia - Concave lens
B. Presbyopia - Cylindrical lens
C. Myopia - Concave lens
D. Myopia - Convex lens

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Myopia (near-sightedness) occurs when the image is focused in front of the retina. It is corrected using a concave (diverging) lens. Hypermetropia (far-sightedness) is corrected with a convex (converging) lens. Astigmatism is corrected with a cylindrical lens. Presbyopia is usually corrected with bifocal lenses.
