The unit of latent heat is
A. J/°C
B. W
C. J
D. J/kg
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Latent heat per unit mass, so Q = mL, L = Q/m, unit J/kg (or cal/g). Specific latent heat of fusion/vaporization. Heat required for phase change without temperature change.

Question #1 Report Error
A variable force F = (3x^2 + 2x) N acts on a particle. The work done by this force in moving the particle from x = 1 m to x = 2 m is:
A. 16 J
B. 10 J
C. 14 J
D. 12 J

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Work done by a variable force is the definite integral of F dx. W = Integral(3x^2 + 2x) dx from 1 to 2. W = [x^3 + x^2] evaluated from 1 to 2. Upper limit: (2^3 + 2^2) = 8 + 4 = 12. Lower limit: (1^3 + 1^2) = 1 + 1 = 2. Work = 12 - 2 = 10 Joules.

The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 was awarded to an Indian scientist for his work on the scattering of light. Identify the scientist.
A. Homi J. Bhabha
B. Meghnad Saha
C. C. V. Raman
D. Satyendra Nath Bose

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Sir C. V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for discovering the 'Raman Effect'. The Raman effect involves the inelastic scattering of photons by molecules, resulting in a change in wavelength. This discovery proved that light has particle-like characteristics. National Science Day in India (Feb 28) commemorates this discovery.
