C.V. Raman was awarded Nobel Prize for his work on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Galileo first proposed concept of inertia. Newton formalized.

Explanation:
When a p-type and an n-type semiconductor are joined, electrons from the n-side (majority carriers) diffuse across the junction to the p-side, and holes from the p-side diffuse to the n-side due to concentration gradients. They recombine near the junction, leaving behind immobile ionized atoms (positive donor ions on n-side, negative acceptor ions on p-side). This uncovered charge region is the depletion layer.

Explanation:
SHM definition: acceleration a ∝ -x (displacement), i.e., a = -ω²x. This restoring acceleration causes oscillatory motion. Constant acceleration implies uniformly accelerated motion (not oscillatory). Constant velocity implies no acceleration. Memory tip: 'SHM: a = -ω²x; force F = -kx (Hooke's law)'. This conceptual question tests fundamental SHM characteristics, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always link to examples: mass-spring system, simple pendulum (small angles), LC circuits.
