A person cannot see objects clearly beyond 2 m. This defect of vision is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person cannot see objects clearly beyond 2 m. This defect of vision is:
A. Hypermetropia
B. Astigmatism
C. Myopia
D. Presbyopia
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Myopia (nearsightedness) is the inability to see distant objects clearly, with far point less than infinity. Here, far point is 2 m. Corrected using concave lens. Hypermetropia (farsightedness) affects near vision; presbyopia is age-related loss of accommodation; astigmatism involves uneven corneal curvature. Memory aid: 'Myopia = near-sighted; far point reduced'. This application question tests knowledge of vision defects and corrections, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link symptom (blurred distant vision) to defect (myopia) and correction (diverging lens).

Question #1
The dimensional formula of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Energy
B. Angular momentum
C. Linear momentum
D. Force

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Planck's constant h = E/ν. Dimensions: [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = [ML²T⁻¹]. Linear momentum [MLT⁻¹], force [MLT⁻²], energy [ML²T⁻²]. So angular momentum matches. This is a frequently asked SSC question.

Question #2
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the human eye.
A. The cornea provides most of the eye's refractive power.
B. The image formed on the retina is virtual and erect.
C. The pupil regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
D. The retina acts as the screen where images are formed.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The eye lens is a convex (converging) lens. It converges light rays to form a real and inverted image on the retina. The brain processes this signal and flips it so we perceive the world as erect. All other statements are functionally correct. The cornea does indeed do about two-thirds of the focusing.

Question #3
In the photoelectric effect, increasing the intensity of the incident light (while keeping frequency constant) will cause:
A. An increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons per second.
B. A decrease in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.
C. A change in the threshold frequency of the metal surface.
D. An increase in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the kinetic energy of emitted electrons depends exclusively on the frequency of the incident light and the metal's work function. Intensity represents the number of photons striking the surface per second. More photons mean more collisions with electrons, leading strictly to an increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons (photoelectric current), not their energy.
