Question #2
Polarization proves light is:
A. Transverse wave
B. Matter wave
C. Longitudinal wave
D. Mechanical wave

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Polarization possible only for transverse waves (oscillations ⊥ propagation). Longitudinal waves (sound) cannot be polarized. Memory aid: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse nature; light is EM transverse wave'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
A body of mass 2 kg is moving with an acceleration of 5 m/s². The rate of change of its momentum is:
A. 10 N
B. 0.4 N
C. 10 kg m/s
D. 2.5 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force. Rate of change of momentum = Force = mass × acceleration. Force = 2 kg × 5 m/s² = 10 Newtons (N). Note that '10 kg m/s' is a unit of momentum, not its rate of change.
