LED working principle: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

LED working principle:
A. Incandescence
B. Electroluminescence
C. Phosphorescence
D. Fluorescence
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
LED: electroluminescence - electron-hole recombination in semiconductor emits photons. Incandescence: thermal radiation (bulbs); Fluorescence: UV excitation. Memory tip: 'LED = semiconductor light emission; no filament, efficient'. Modern device principle frequently tested in competitive exams linking physics to technology.

Question #1
A wave of frequency 500 Hz has speed 350 m/s. Wavelength is
A. 175 m
B. 0.7 m
C. 70 m
D. 1.43 m

Correct Answer: Option B

Question #2
SHM acceleration a = -ω²x. Maximum acceleration occurs at:
A. Neither
B. Mean position
C. Extreme position
D. Both positions

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
a ∝ -x; magnitude maximum when |x| maximum (extremes). At mean position x=0 ⇒ a=0. Velocity maximum at mean position. Memory aid: 'SHM: a max at extremes, v max at center'. Oscillation concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify SHM characteristics understanding.

Question #3
A seismograph is used to detect:
A. Atmospheric pressure changes
B. Magnetic field variations
C. Earthquakes
D. Sound waves in water

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Seismograph detects and records ground motions caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or explosions. It measures seismic waves (P-waves, S-waves). Barometer detects pressure changes; hydrophone detects underwater sound; magnetometer detects magnetic fields. Memory tip: 'Seismo = earthquake (like seismology)'. This instrument-application question tests knowledge of geophysical tools, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always associate instrument names with their field of use: seismograph (geology), barometer (meteorology), etc.
