Bohr radius r_n ∝ MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Bohr radius r_n ∝
A.
B. n
C. 1/n
D. 1/n²
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Bohr model: r_n = n²a₀ ⇒ r ∝ n². Higher n = larger orbit. Memory tip: 'Bohr: r ∝ n²; E ∝ -1/n²'. Atomic physics relation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
In Young's double slit experiment, if the slit separation is doubled and screen distance halved, the fringe width becomes:
A. One-fourth
B. Double
C. Same
D. Half

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fringe width β = λD/d, where λ wavelength, D screen distance, d slit separation. New d' = 2d, new D' = D/2. Thus β' = λ(D/2)/(2d) = λD/(4d) = β/4. Fringe width reduces to one-fourth. Memory tip: 'β ∝ D/d; changes multiply'. This proportional reasoning problem tests wave optics understanding, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always track how each parameter change affects the result; combine multiplicative factors for net effect. Verify with dimensional analysis: β has length dimension, consistent with λD/d.

Question #2
Critical angle for glass (n=1.5) to air:
A. 90°
B. 42°
C. 30°
D. 60°

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
sinθ_c = n₂/n₁ = 1/1.5 = 2/3 ⇒ θ_c = sin⁻¹(0.667) ≈ 42°. Total internal reflection condition. Memory tip: 'θ_c = sin⁻¹(1/n) for denser to air'. Optics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams with standard refractive indices.

Question #3
Capacitor energy U = ½CV². If voltage doubled, energy becomes:
A. Half
B. Double
C. Four times
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
U ∝ V². If V' = 2V, U' = 4U. Energy scales with square of voltage. Memory aid: 'Capacitor energy: U ∝ V²; double voltage ⇒ quadruple energy'. Electrostatics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
