Question #1
The process of combining two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus is
A. Chain reaction
B. Fission
C. Radioactive decay
D. Fusion

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Nuclear fusion: e.g., hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium fuse to helium, releasing energy. Powers Sun and stars. Requires high temperature (thermonuclear). Fusion reactor under development.

Question #2
Assertion: Acceleration in SHM is maximum at extremes. Reason: Restoring force ∝ displacement.
A. A false, R true
B. A true, R false
C. Both true, R doesn't explain A
D. Both true, R explains A

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Assertion true: a = -ω²x, max at max |x|. Reason true: F = -kx (Hooke's law), and F = ma ⇒ a ∝ -x. Reason correctly explains why acceleration peaks at extremes. Memory tip: 'SHM: F ∝ -x ⇒ a ∝ -x'. Assertion-reason testing SHM fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams.

Question #3
An echo is heard after 2 seconds from a cliff. If speed of sound is 340 m/s, distance of cliff is
A. 510 m
B. 680 m
C. 340 m
D. 170 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Sound travels to cliff and back. Total distance = speed × time = 340 × 2 = 680 m. So distance to cliff = 680/2 = 340 m. Use formula d = (v × t)/2. Time for round trip. Minimum distance for echo 17 m (approx) for 0.1 s persistence.
