The Chandrasekhar Limit is a fundamental concept in astrophysics that determines the ultimate fate of a star. It is specifically defined as the maximum mass of a:
A. White Dwarf
B. Neutron Star
C. Black Hole
D. Red Giant

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that a White Dwarf star cannot support itself against gravitational collapse if its mass exceeds approximately 1.44 times the mass of our Sun. This is the Chandrasekhar limit. Stars above this mass limit will eventually collapse further into a dense neutron star or a black hole.

The frequency of a source of sound is 500 Hz. The number of vibrations it makes in 2 minutes is
A. 1000
B. 60000
C. 500
D. 30000

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Frequency = vibrations per second. 500 vibrations per second. In 2 min = 120 s, total vibrations = 500 × 120 = 60,000. Simple multiplication.

An object of mass 1 kg is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s. Its de Broglie wavelength is (h = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js)
A. 6.63 × 10⁻³⁶ m
B. 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ m
C. 6.63 × 10⁻³⁵ m
D. 6.63 × 10⁻³³ m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
λ = h/(mv) = 6.63×10⁻³⁴/(1×10) = 6.63×10⁻³⁵ m. Extremely small, not observable. For electron it's significant. de Broglie hypothesis: matter waves. This is modern physics.
