What is the focal length of a plane mirror? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

What is the focal length of a plane mirror?
A. Negative
B. One
C. Zero
D. Infinity
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The focal length of a spherical mirror is defined as R/2, where R is the radius of curvature. A plane mirror is essentially a part of a spherical mirror whose radius of curvature is infinity (it is completely flat). Therefore, the focal length of a plane mirror is also infinity.

Frequency of sound wave determines:
A. Speed
B. Timbre
C. Loudness
D. Pitch

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Frequency → pitch perception: higher frequency = higher pitch. Loudness depends on amplitude; timbre on waveform; speed on medium properties. Memory aid: 'Frequency = pitch; Amplitude = loudness'. Basic sound property question frequently tested to verify perceptual attribute associations in competitive exams.

Question #3 Report Error
Which of the following is the dimensional formula of impulse?
A. [ML²T⁻¹]
B. [M⁰LT⁻¹]
C. [MLT⁻¹]
D. [MLT⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Impulse = Force × time = change in momentum. Momentum = mass × velocity, dimensions [M][LT⁻¹] = [MLT⁻¹]. Force dimensions [MLT⁻²], multiplied by time gives [MLT⁻¹]. Same as momentum.
