Polarization used in: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Polarization used in:
A. Both
B. LCD displays
C. Glare-reducing sunglasses
D. Neither
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Polarized sunglasses block reflected glare (horizontal polarization). LCDs use liquid crystals to rotate polarization for pixel control. Memory tip: 'Polarization: sunglasses (glare reduction), LCDs (display technology)'. Optics application frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
The principle of working of a hydrogen bomb is
A. Nuclear fission
B. Chain reaction
C. Nuclear fusion
D. Chemical explosion

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Hydrogen bomb uses uncontrolled fusion of deuterium and tritium triggered by fission bomb. Releases vast energy, thermonuclear reaction. Sun's energy is fusion.

Question #2
The phenomenon of superconductivity is characterized by:
A. Zero electrical resistance below critical temperature
B. High thermal conductivity
C. Zero magnetic permeability
D. Infinite electrical resistance

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Superconductivity occurs in certain materials below a critical temperature T_c, where electrical resistance drops abruptly to zero, and magnetic fields are expelled (Meissner effect). Option B describes insulators; C and D are unrelated. Memory aid: 'Superconductor: R=0 below T_c; perfect diamagnetism'. This modern physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish superconductivity (zero resistance) from perfect conductivity (theoretical limit); real superconductors exhibit Meissner effect, a defining property.
