Atom's nucleus contains: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Atom's nucleus contains:
A. Electrons and protons
B. Only protons
C. Protons, neutrons, electrons
D. Protons and neutrons
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Nucleus: protons (+) and neutrons (neutral); electrons orbit outside. Atomic number = proton count; mass number = protons + neutrons. Memory tip: 'Nucleus = nucleons (p+n); electrons in shells'. Basic atomic structure frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #2
The angle of incidence for a light ray is 30°. According to laws of reflection, angle of reflection is
A. 60°
B. 30°
C. 15°
D. 90°

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Law of reflection: angle of incidence = angle of reflection, both measured from normal. So 30°. If angle with mirror is given, convert to normal. Always equal for smooth surfaces.

Question #3
A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth from:
A. East to West
B. West to East
C. North to South
D. South to North

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A geostationary satellite must appear stationary to an observer on the Earth's surface. To achieve this, it must orbit in the exact equatorial plane and strictly follow the Earth's rotation. Since the Earth rotates on its axis from West to East, the geostationary satellite must also orbit from West to East.
