Question #1
In geometric optics, the power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its:
A. Refractive index
B. Magnification
C. Focal length in meters
D. Radius of curvature

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The power (P) of a lens indicates its converging or diverging ability. It is mathematically defined as the reciprocal of the focal length (f), provided the focal length is measured in meters. The formula is P = 1 / f(in meters). The SI unit of power for a lens is the Diopter (D). A focal length of 0.5m gives a power of 2D.

Question #2
A positively charged particle is projected precisely parallel to a uniform magnetic field. The trajectory of the particle will be a:
A. Parabola
B. Circle
C. Helix
D. Straight line

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The magnetic Lorentz force on a moving charge is F = q(v x B) = qvBsin(theta). If the particle moves completely parallel to the magnetic field, the angle theta is 0 degrees. Since sin(0) = 0, the magnetic force is absolutely zero. Experiencing no transverse force, the particle continues moving in a perfect straight line.

Question #3
The part of human eye that controls amount of light entering is
A. Retina
B. Iris
C. Lens
D. Cornea

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Iris adjusts pupil size. In bright light pupil constricts, dim light dilates. Retina forms image. Cornea and lens focus. Eye is like camera.
