Question #1
If the error in measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, the percentage error in the calculated volume of the sphere will be:
A. 6%
B. 4%
C. 8%
D. 2%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Volume of sphere V = (4/3)πr³. For error propagation, percentage error in V = 3 × (percentage error in r). Given error in r is 2%, so error in V = 3 × 2% = 6%. This follows the power rule: if Q = xⁿ, then % error in Q = |n| × % error in x. This principle is crucial for experimental error analysis. Exam tip: Remember that volume depends on cube of radius, so errors amplify threefold. This type of question tests understanding of error propagation in derived quantities.

Question #2
The phenomenon of diffraction is most pronounced when:
A. Obstacle size is much larger than wavelength
B. Obstacle size is much smaller than wavelength
C. Wavelength is zero
D. Obstacle size is comparable to wavelength

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Diffraction (bending of waves around obstacles) is significant when obstacle or aperture size is comparable to the wavelength of the wave. If size >> λ, diffraction is negligible (ray optics); if size

Question #3
KE increased by 100%. Momentum increase percentage:
A. 41.4%
B. 50%
C. 200%
D. 100%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
KE ∝ p². Double KE ⇒ p_new = √2 p_old ⇒ increase = (√2 - 1)×100% ≈ 41.4%. Memory tip: 'KE ∝ p²; %Δp ≈ ½ %ΔKE for small changes, but use exact for large'. Energy-momentum relation frequently tested in competitive exams.
