Question #1
The boiling point of water on Kelvin scale is
A. 273.15 K
B. 100 K
C. 373.15 K
D. 0 K

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Boiling point of water = 100°C = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K. Melting point of ice 0°C = 273.15 K. Kelvin is SI unit, no degree symbol.

Question #2
Convex lens in water: focal length:
A. Becomes negative
B. Unchanged
C. Decreases
D. Increases

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Lens maker: 1/f ∝ (n_rel - 1). In water, n_rel = n_glass/n_water ≈ 1.5/1.33 ≈ 1.13 < 1.5 (air). Smaller (n_rel-1) ⇒ larger f. Memory aid: 'Lens in denser medium: reduced power ⇒ longer focal length'. Optics application frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
What is the physical meaning of the 'Work Function' of a metal in the context of the photoelectric effect?
A. The total energy of an incident photon.
B. The maximum kinetic energy of an emitted electron.
C. The electrical resistance of the metal when light shines on it.
D. The minimum energy required to eject an electron from the metal surface.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In Einstein's photoelectric theory, electrons are bound to the metal lattice. The 'work function' (often denoted by Phi or W) is defined strictly as the absolute minimum thermodynamic work (energy) needed to overcome these binding forces and remove an electron from the surface into a vacuum. If incident photon energy (hf) is less than the work function, absolutely no emission occurs.
