Heat transfer requiring medium and bulk motion is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat transfer requiring medium and bulk motion is:
A. Conduction
B. Convection
C. Radiation
D. All three
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Convection involves fluid motion carrying heat. Conduction needs medium but no bulk motion; radiation needs no medium. Memory aid: 'Convection = fluid flow + heat transfer; e.g., boiling water, weather'. Definition-based question testing heat transfer modes, frequently examined in competitive exams to distinguish mechanisms.

Question #1
Which of the following pairs of physical quantities has the same dimensions?
A. Momentum and Kinetic Energy
B. Force and Power
C. Angular Momentum and Planck's Constant
D. Pressure and Strain

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Angular momentum (L = mvr) has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. Planck's constant (h = E/ν) also has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. They share the same dimensional formula. Force is [MLT⁻²], Power is [ML²T⁻³], Momentum is [MLT⁻¹], and Strain is a dimensionless quantity [M⁰L⁰T⁰]. This is a frequent exam question.

Question #2
What is the relationship between the time period (T) and frequency (f) of a wave?
A. T = 1 / f
B. T = f
C. T = f²
D. T = v × f

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Frequency (f) is defined as the number of complete oscillations or cycles a wave makes in one second (measured in Hertz). The Time period (T) is the time taken to complete one full oscillation (measured in seconds). They are inversely related: T = 1/f. If a wave has a frequency of 50 Hz, its period is 1/50 seconds.

Question #3
A body covers 12 m in the 2nd second and 20 m in the 4th second of its motion. Assuming uniform acceleration, what is its initial velocity?
A. 8 m/s
B. 4 m/s
C. 2 m/s
D. 6 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The distance covered in the nth second is Sn = u + a/2 * (2n - 1). For n=2: 12 = u + a/2 * (3) => 2u + 3a = 24. For n=4: 20 = u + a/2 * (7) => 2u + 7a = 40. Subtracting equations: 4a = 16 => a = 4 m/s^2. Substitute 'a' back: 2u + 3(4) = 24 => 2u = 12 => u = 6 m/s.
