Question #1
The colour of light that deviates least in a glass prism is
A. Red
B. Green
C. Violet
D. Blue

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Dispersion: red has longest wavelength, lowest refractive index, deviates least. Violet deviates most. So spectrum: red at top (least deviation), violet at bottom.

Question #2
In geometric optics, the power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its:
A. Refractive index
B. Radius of curvature
C. Magnification
D. Focal length in meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The power (P) of a lens indicates its converging or diverging ability. It is mathematically defined as the reciprocal of the focal length (f), provided the focal length is measured in meters. The formula is P = 1 / f(in meters). The SI unit of power for a lens is the Diopter (D). A focal length of 0.5m gives a power of 2D.

Question #3
If the random error in measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, the error in volume is
A. 2%
B. 6%
C. 8%
D. 4%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Volume V = (4/3)πr³. Fractional error ΔV/V = 3 Δr/r. Percentage error = 3 × 2% = 6%. Important for error analysis in competitive exams.
