Question #1
The critical angle for light passing from glass (n=1.5) to air is approximately:
A. 30°
B. 42°
C. 60°
D. 90°

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Critical angle θ_c for total internal reflection: sinθ_c = n₂/n₁, where n₁ > n₂. Here n₁=1.5 (glass), n₂=1 (air), so sinθ_c = 1/1.5 = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667 ⇒ θ_c = sin⁻¹(0.6667) ≈ 41.8° ≈ 42°. Memory aid: 'sinθ_c = 1/n for glass to air'. This calculation tests understanding of total internal reflection conditions, crucial for optics in competitive exams. Always ensure light travels from denser to rarer medium for TIR to be possible; otherwise, no critical angle exists.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Fuse wire has high resistance and low melting point. Reason (R): It must melt to break circuit on overload.
A. A false, R true
B. Both A and R true, R correct explanation
C. Both A and R true, R not correct explanation
D. A true, R false

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
High resistance produces more heat (I²R), low melting point ensures quick melting. Both true and R explains A.

Question #3
The process of emission of electrons from hot metal surface is called
A. Field emission
B. Secondary emission
C. Thermionic emission
D. Photoelectric emission

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Thermionic emission: electrons emitted when metal heated to high temperature (e.g., filament in cathode ray tube). Photoelectric: light incident. Field emission: strong electric field. Secondary: bombardment by particles.
