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. Increases
B. Remains same
C. Becomes infinite
D. Decreases
Answer: Option A
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.

Nuclear fission is the process in which
A. Heavy nucleus splits
B. Light nuclei combine
C. Nucleus emits gamma rays
D. Electrons are emitted

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fission: heavy nucleus (e.g., U-235) splits into smaller nuclei plus neutrons and energy. Fusion: light nuclei combine (e.g., hydrogen to helium). Both release energy. Fission used in reactors and bombs.
