Escape velocity from a planet of mass M and radius R is v. For another planet of mass 4M and radius 2R, escape velocity is
A. v
B. 2v
C. v/√2
D. √2 v

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
v_esc ∝ √(M/R). New ∝ √(4M/2R) = √(2M/R) = √2 √(M/R) = √2 v.

Latent heat of fusion ice = 336 kJ/kg. Heat to melt 3 kg ice at 0°C:
A. 1008 kJ
B. 672 kJ
C. 336 kJ
D. 112 kJ

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Q = mL = 3×336 = 1008 kJ. Direct latent heat formula application. Memory tip: 'Phase change: Q = mL; no temperature change'. Calorimetry calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
When a wave travels from one medium to another, which of its properties never changes?
A. Amplitude
B. Frequency
C. Velocity
D. Wavelength

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
When a wave (like light or sound) changes mediums, its velocity changes due to the new medium's optical or mechanical density. Wavelength changes proportionally with velocity (v = fλ). However, frequency is determined solely by the source generating the wave and the energy of the photons/particles, and it remains absolutely constant.
