Atom's nucleus contains: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Atom's nucleus contains:
A. Only protons
B. Electrons and 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 #1
A ray of light passes from air to glass (refractive index 1.5). If angle of incidence is 30°, angle of refraction is (sin30=0.5)
A. 60°
B. 19.47°
C. 45°
D. 30°

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Snell's law: n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r. 1×0.5 = 1.5 sin r => sin r = 0.5/1.5 = 1/3 ≈ 0.3333 => r ≈ 19.47°. So A.

Question #2
Which physical law explains the generation of lift force on an airplane wing?
A. Boyle's Law
B. Archimedes' Principle
C. Bernoulli's Principle
D. Pascal's Law

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure. Airplane wings (airfoils) are shaped so that air travels faster over the curved top surface than the flat bottom. This creates lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below, resulting in an upward lift force.

Question #3
Uniform acceleration: v-t graph is:
A. Straight line with slope
B. Parabola
C. Hyperbola
D. Horizontal line

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
a = constant ⇒ v = u + at (linear in t). Slope = acceleration. Memory tip: 'v-t slope = acceleration; area = displacement'. Graph interpretation frequently tested in competitive kinematics sections.
