Diffraction demonstrates light's: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Diffraction demonstrates light's:
A. EM nature
B. Wave nature
C. Particle nature
D. Dual nature
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Diffraction (bending around obstacles) is wave phenomenon explained by Huygens' principle. Particle model predicts straight-line propagation. Memory aid: 'Diffraction/interference ⇒ wave nature; photoelectric ⇒ particle nature'. Wave-particle duality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
Diamagnetic material susceptibility χ is:
A. Small negative
B. Small positive
C. Large positive
D. Large negative

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Diamagnets: χ ≈ -10⁻⁵ (small negative), weakly repelled by magnetic fields. Paramagnets: small +χ; Ferromagnets: large +χ. Memory tip: 'Diamagnetic: χ < 0, weak repulsion'. Magnetism classification frequently tested in competitive exams.

The main component of natural gas used for cooking is
A. Ethane
B. Methane
C. Propane
D. Butane

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Methane (CH₄) is primary component. LPG is mainly propane and butane. CNG is compressed methane. This relates to everyday physics and chemistry.

Question #3
When a body is moving in a uniform circular motion, the work done by the centripetal force is zero because:
A. The force is balanced by an outward centrifugal force.
B. The body has no kinetic energy.
C. The force is always perpendicular to the instantaneous displacement.
D. The force is extremely weak.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Work done is given by W = F * d * cos(theta). In uniform circular motion, the centripetal force is always directed strictly towards the center of the circle, while the instantaneous displacement (velocity vector) is tangential to the circle. The angle (theta) between them is exactly 90 degrees. Since cos(90) = 0, the work done by the centripetal force is always zero.
