C. V. Raman is known for his work on: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

C. V. Raman is known for his work on:
A. Raman effect (light scattering)
B. Theory of relativity
C. Electromagnetic induction
D. Photoelectric effect
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Sir C. V. Raman discovered the Raman effect in 1928: inelastic scattering of photons by molecules, changing wavelength, providing information about molecular structure. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. Photoelectric effect: Einstein; relativity: Einstein; electromagnetic induction: Faraday. Memory tip: 'Raman = scattering of light'. This scientist-discovery question tests knowledge of Indian contributions to physics, commonly featured in competitive exams. Always link Nobel laureates to their specific awarded work.

Question #1
Which of the following has the least count of 0.001 cm?
A. Metre scale
B. Measuring tape
C. Screw gauge
D. Vernier calliper

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Screw gauge typically has least count 0.001 cm (0.01 mm). Vernier calliper least count 0.01 cm. Metre scale 0.1 cm. So screw gauge most precise.

Question #2
The device that protects electrical circuits from overload is
A. Switch
B. Capacitor
C. Resistor
D. Fuse

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fuse melts and breaks circuit when current exceeds rating. MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) does same but resettable. Switch only turns on/off. Resistor limits current but doesn't break.

Question #3
The speed of light in vacuum is
A. 3 × 10⁶ m/s
B. 3 × 10⁸ m/s
C. 3 × 10¹⁰ m/s
D. 3 × 10⁴ m/s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
c = 2.9979 × 10⁸ m/s, commonly 3×10⁸ m/s. In glass slower. It's a universal constant, maximum speed. Used in relativity, E=mc².
