Myopia (nearsightedness) is corrected by using MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Myopia (nearsightedness) is corrected by using
A. Cylindrical lens
B. Concave lens
C. Convex lens
D. Bifocal lens
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Myopic eye focuses image in front of retina. A diverging (concave) lens spreads light so image falls on retina. Hypermetropia (farsightedness) corrected by convex lens. Bifocals for presbyopia. Cylindrical for astigmatism.

Question #1
Rainbow is formed due to
A. Dispersion and internal reflection
B. Total internal reflection
C. Diffraction
D. Comet

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rainbow is formed by dispersion, refraction, and internal reflection of sunlight in water droplets. Two refractions and one internal reflection give primary bow. Secondary bow has two internal reflections. Not diffraction.

Question #3
According to Newton's third law, action and reaction forces:
A. Act on the same body and cancel each other
B. Are always equal to weight of the body
C. Act on different bodies and never cancel each other
D. Act only when bodies are in contact

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Newton's third law states: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These forces act on two different interacting bodies, hence they never cancel each other as they don't act on the same body. They can act at a distance (e.g., gravitational forces) or through contact. Cancellation of forces occurs only when multiple forces act on a single body. This distinction is crucial for free-body diagram analysis. Exam tip: Always identify which body each force acts upon. Misconception about force cancellation is a common trap in competitive exam questions testing Newton's laws.
