Microscope resolution improved by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Microscope resolution improved by:
A. Smaller numerical aperture
B. Oil immersion
C. Longer wavelength light
D. Lower magnification
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Oil immersion increases numerical aperture (NA) by matching refractive indices, improving resolution d = λ/(2NA). Memory tip: 'Higher NA or shorter λ ⇒ better resolution'. Optical instrument concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
Which of the following operates strictly on the principle of conservation of linear momentum?
A. Rocket
B. Helicopter
C. Aeroplane
D. Hovercraft

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A rocket works on the principle of conservation of linear momentum. As the exhaust gases are expelled downward at high velocity, they carry downward momentum. To conserve the total momentum of the system (which is initially zero), the rocket must acquire an equal and opposite (upward) momentum, propelling it forward.

Question #2
Which of the following is an example of a non-contact force?
A. Frictional force
B. Gravitational force
C. Muscular force
D. Tension in string

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Gravity, electrostatic, magnetic forces act without direct contact. Friction, tension, normal require contact. Field forces are non-contact.

Question #3
An athlete runs 200 m in 20 seconds, then returns 100 m back in 10 seconds. The average speed for entire motion is
A. 6.67 m/s
B. 15 m/s
C. 7.5 m/s
D. 10 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 200 m (forward) + 100 m (back) = 300 m. Total time = 20 s + 10 s = 30 s. Average speed = total distance / total time = 300/30 = 10 m/s. Average velocity would be displacement (200-100=100 m) / 30 s = 3.33 m/s. But average speed is 10 m/s. Wait, 300/30 = 10. But that's option A 10 m/s. I need to check: Did I compute right? 200 m forward, then returns 100 m back, so total path length = 300 m. Time total = 30 s. Average speed = 10 m/s. Option A is 10 m/s, B is 6.67. That gives A. But to test concept, many confuse with velocity. I'll set correct answer A. But I'll adjust to make distinction: Maybe distance first 200 m at 10 m/s, return 100 m at 5 m/s? Already given times. So correct answer A. It's moderate. I'll keep.
