de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝:
A.
B. v
C. 1/v²
D. 1/v
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
p = mv ⇒ λ = h/(mv) ⇒ λ ∝ 1/v for constant mass. Higher velocity ⇒ shorter wavelength. Memory tip: 'λ = h/mv; faster particle ⇒ smaller wavelength'. Quantum mechanics relation frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Heat required to raise 2 kg water from 20°C to 100°C: (c_water = 4200 J/kg·K)
A. 168 kJ
B. 672 kJ
C. 336 kJ
D. 840 kJ

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Q = mcΔT = 2×4200×(100-20) = 2×4200×80 = 672000 J = 672 kJ. Direct calorimetry formula application. Memory tip: 'Q = mcΔT; ΔT in Celsius or Kelvin same'. Basic numerical testing specific heat concept, frequently appearing in thermodynamics sections of competitive exams.

Question #2
The value of universal gravitational constant G is
A. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
B. Both A and C
C. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ dyne cm²/g²
D. 9.8 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg² in SI, and 6.67 × 10⁻⁸ dyne cm²/g² in CGS. Both are correct. Important constant, measured by Cavendish. g is acceleration due to gravity, different.

Question #3
The boiling point of water at high altitude is lower because
A. Atmospheric pressure is higher
B. Atmospheric pressure is lower
C. Gravity is less
D. Temperature is lower

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Boiling occurs when vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure. At high altitude, atmospheric pressure is lower, so water boils at lower temperature. Pressure cooker increases pressure to raise boiling point for faster cooking.
