A lens of power -2.5 D is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A lens of power -2.5 D is
A. Convex of focal length 40 cm
B. Concave of focal length 0.25 m
C. Concave of focal length 40 cm
D. Convex of focal length 0.4 m
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Power negative means concave lens. f = 1/P (in metre) = 1/(-2.5) = -0.4 m = -40 cm. So concave lens of focal length 40 cm. Focal length negative for concave.

Question #1
When an ambulance with a blaring siren moves towards an observer, the pitch of the siren appears to be higher. This is due to:
A. Reverberation
B. Interference of sound waves
C. The Doppler Effect
D. Acoustic resonance

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The Doppler Effect is the apparent change in the frequency (and thus pitch) of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. As the ambulance approaches, sound waves get compressed, increasing the perceived frequency (higher pitch). As it moves away, waves stretch, lowering the frequency.

Question #2
In Young's double slit experiment, if the slit separation is doubled and screen distance halved, the fringe width becomes:
A. Double
B. One-fourth
C. Same
D. Half

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Fringe width β = λD/d, where λ wavelength, D screen distance, d slit separation. New d' = 2d, new D' = D/2. Thus β' = λ(D/2)/(2d) = λD/(4d) = β/4. Fringe width reduces to one-fourth. Memory tip: 'β ∝ D/d; changes multiply'. This proportional reasoning problem tests wave optics understanding, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always track how each parameter change affects the result; combine multiplicative factors for net effect. Verify with dimensional analysis: β has length dimension, consistent with λD/d.
