A convex lens is immersed in water. Its focal length MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A convex lens is immersed in water. Its focal length
A. Decreases
B. Becomes infinite
C. Increases
D. Remains same
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Lens maker's formula: 1/f = (μ_lens/μ_medium - 1)(...). In water, relative refractive index reduces, so power decreases, focal length increases. Glass in water behaves less converging.

Question #1
A boy is sitting on a rotating chair with his arms folded. If he suddenly extends his arms, what will happen to his angular velocity?
A. It will increase.
B. It will become zero.
C. It will remain the same.
D. It will decrease.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
This is based on the conservation of angular momentum (L = Iω), where 'I' is the moment of inertia and 'ω' is angular velocity. When the boy extends his arms, mass moves further from the axis of rotation, increasing his moment of inertia (I). Since 'L' is conserved, an increase in 'I' must result in a decrease in angular velocity (ω).

Question #2
Instrument measuring humidity:
A. Hydrometer
B. Barometer
C. Hygrometer
D. Anemometer

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Hygrometer measures atmospheric humidity (water vapor content). Barometer: pressure; Hydrometer: liquid density; Anemometer: wind speed. Memory tip: 'Hygro = moisture; meter = measure'. Instrument identification frequently tested in competitive exams to verify practical physics knowledge.

Question #3
A light ray enters from air into glass. How does its speed, frequency, and wavelength change?
A. Speed decreases, frequency remains same, wavelength decreases.
B. Speed decreases, frequency decreases, wavelength decreases.
C. Speed remains same, frequency decreases, wavelength increases.
D. Speed increases, frequency remains same, wavelength increases.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
When light passes from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (glass), its speed decreases due to the higher refractive index. Wavelength is directly proportional to speed, so it also decreases. However, the frequency depends only on the source of light and remains absolutely constant during refraction across any boundary.
