The process of change from solid directly to vapour is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of change from solid directly to vapour is called
A. Sublimation
B. Freezing
C. Melting
D. Condensation
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Sublimation: solid → gas without liquid phase. Example: camphor, naphthalene balls, dry ice (solid CO₂). Deposition is reverse. Latent heat of sublimation involved.

Prism minimum deviation depends on:
A. Refractive index only
B. Wavelength only
C. Both angle and n
D. Prism angle only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Formula: n = sin[(A+δ_m)/2]/sin(A/2). δ_m depends on prism angle A and refractive index n. Memory tip: 'δ_m increases with A and n; used to measure n'. Optics formula frequently tested in competitive exams.

A piece of ice is floating in a glass beaker containing water. When all the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker will:
A. Remain the same
B. Fall
C. Rise
D. First rise, then fall

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
According to Archimedes' principle, the floating ice displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight. When the ice melts, it transforms into a volume of water that is exactly equal to the volume of water it displaced while floating. Therefore, the water level remains unchanged.

The frequency of a sound wave is 200 Hz. Its time period is
A. 0.05 s
B. 200 s
C. 0.02 s
D. 0.005 s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Time period T = 1/f = 1/200 = 0.005 s = 5 ms. Frequency is number of cycles per second. Relationship T = 1/f is fundamental. For 200 Hz, period is 5 milliseconds.
