The process of coating iron with zinc to prevent rusting is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of coating iron with zinc to prevent rusting is called
A. Galvanisation
B. Electroplating
C. Annealing
D. Alloying
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Galvanisation: iron/steel coated with zinc to prevent corrosion. Zinc acts as sacrificial anode. Electroplating deposits metal layer using electricity. Alloying mixing metals. Annealing heat treatment.

A convex lens is immersed in water. Its focal length
A. Increases
B. Becomes infinite
C. Remains same
D. Decreases

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Lens maker's formula: 1/f = (μ_lens/μ_medium - 1)(...). In water, relative refractive index reduces, so power decreases, focal length increases. Glass in water behaves less converging.

The phenomenon of beats in sound waves is due to:
A. Interference
B. Refraction
C. Diffraction
D. Reflection

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Beats occur when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies interfere, causing periodic variation in amplitude (loudness). Beat frequency = |f₁ - f₂|. This is a superposition/interference phenomenon. Reflection, refraction, diffraction don't produce beats. Memory tip: 'Beats = interference of close frequencies; used in tuning instruments'. This conceptual question tests wave superposition understanding, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always distinguish beats (amplitude modulation) from resonance (amplitude increase at natural frequency).

The value of acceleration due to gravity g on the surface of Earth depends on
A. Rotation of the object
B. Mass of the Earth
C. Shape of the object
D. Mass of the object

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
g = GM/R², where M is mass of Earth, R radius, G universal constant. It does not depend on mass of falling object (Galileo's experiment). Earth's rotation causes slight variation but surface g is primarily determined by M and R. So mass of Earth is factor.
