Question #1
The mirror used as rear-view mirror in vehicles is
A. Concave mirror
B. Parabolic mirror
C. Plane mirror
D. Convex mirror

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Convex mirror gives wider field of view, always forms virtual, erect, diminished image. Allows driver to see larger area. Concave can magnify but field narrow. Plane gives normal view but limited field.

Question #2
The energy emitted by the Sun is primarily a result of:
A. Radioactive decay of uranium.
B. Chemical combustion of gases.
C. Nuclear fission of heavy elements.
D. Nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Sun and other stars generate their immense energy through nuclear fusion. In the Sun's core, immense gravitational pressure and heat cause hydrogen nuclei (protons) to overcome electrostatic repulsion and fuse together to form helium nuclei. This fusion process releases vast amounts of energy according to Einstein's E=mc².

Question #3
A convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror because it
A. Gives wider field of view
B. Magnifies image
C. Gives real image
D. Inverts image

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Convex mirror diverges rays, gives erect, diminished, virtual image with wider field. Concave would magnify but narrow field. Plane gives normal view. Safety advantage.
