The process of heat transfer in a solid metal rod is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of heat transfer in a solid metal rod is
A. Sublimation
B. Conduction
C. Convection
D. Radiation
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
In solids, heat flows by conduction (lattice vibrations and free electrons). Metals are good conductors due to free electrons. Convection in fluids, radiation no medium.

A car decelerates uniformly from 20 m/s to rest in 4 s. Distance covered is
A. 60 m
B. 80 m
C. 20 m
D. 40 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
a = (0-20)/4 = -5 m/s². s = 20×4 + ½(-5)×16 = 80 - 40 = 40 m. Or average velocity 10 m/s × 4 = 40 m.

Diffraction limits resolution because:
A. Lenses absorb light
B. Mirrors reflect poorly
C. Atmosphere distorts
D. Light bends around edges, blurring images

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Diffraction spreads light through apertures, creating Airy patterns instead of points. Fundamental limit: θ_min ≈ 1.22λ/D (Rayleigh criterion). Memory tip: 'Diffraction limit: smaller λ or larger aperture ⇒ better resolution'. Wave optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

SONAR is based on the principle of:
A. Reflection of sound waves
B. Refraction of sound waves
C. Polarization of sound waves
D. Diffraction of sound waves

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) relies on the reflection of ultrasonic waves. A transmitter sends out sound waves, which travel through water, strike an object (like a submarine or the seabed), and reflect back as an echo to a receiver. By measuring the time taken for the echo to return, the distance can be calculated.
