Question #1
The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to relative motion between source and observer is called
A. Doppler effect
B. Diffraction
C. Resonance
D. Echo

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Doppler effect: observed frequency higher when approaching, lower when receding. Applications: radar speed guns, astronomical redshift/blueshift, echocardiography. Echo is reflection. Resonance is vibration matching. Diffraction is bending.

Question #2
Which of the following pairs of physical quantities has the same dimensions?
A. Momentum and Kinetic Energy
B. Angular Momentum and Planck's Constant
C. Force and Power
D. Pressure and Strain

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Angular momentum (L = mvr) has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. Planck's constant (h = E/ν) also has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. They share the same dimensional formula. Force is [MLT⁻²], Power is [ML²T⁻³], Momentum is [MLT⁻¹], and Strain is a dimensionless quantity [M⁰L⁰T⁰]. This is a frequent exam question.

Question #3
If a body travels half the distance with speed v1 and remaining half with speed v2, average speed is
A. (v1+v2)/2
B. (v1+v2)/v1v2
C. √(v1v2)
D. 2v1v2/(v1+v2)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Average speed = total distance / total time = d / ( (d/2)/v1 + (d/2)/v2 ) = 2v1v2/(v1+v2).
