Question #1 Report Error
Doppler effect for sound depends on:
A. Observer motion only
B. Source motion only
C. Relative motion between source and observer
D. Medium motion only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Apparent frequency change depends on relative velocity between source and observer with respect to medium. Both motions contribute: f' = f(v±v_o)/(v∓v_s). Memory tip: 'Approaching ⇒ higher pitch; receding ⇒ lower pitch'. Conceptual question testing Doppler effect fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams.

Which of the following colours has the longest wavelength?
A. Green
B. Violet
C. Blue
D. Red

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Visible spectrum: red ~700 nm, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet ~400 nm. Red has longest wavelength, lowest frequency. Violet shortest wavelength, highest frequency. Remember VIBGYOR.

Question #3 Report Error
Which famous physicist correctly formulated the laws of electromagnetic induction mathematically, later synthesizing all known electromagnetic phenomena into four fundamental equations?
A. James Clerk Maxwell
B. Heinrich Hertz
C. Michael Faraday
D. André-Marie Ampère

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
While Faraday performed the groundbreaking experimental work discovering electromagnetic induction, it was James Clerk Maxwell who formalized these discoveries mathematically. Maxwell's equations (a set of four differential equations) elegantly united electricity, magnetism, and optics, proving theoretically that light itself is a propagating electromagnetic wave.
