Potential energy of a body at a height h is 100 J. If height is doubled, the potential energy becomes MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Potential energy of a body at a height h is 100 J. If height is doubled, the potential energy becomes
A. 100 J
B. 200 J
C. 400 J
D. 50 J
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
PE = mgh, so directly proportional to height h. If h becomes 2h, PE becomes 2 × 100 = 200 J, assuming g constant. For large heights, g varies, but basic assumption. Thus 200 J.

Question #1
Refractive index n = c/v. For glass n=1.5, light speed is:
A. 1.5×10⁸ m/s
B. 3×10⁸ m/s
C. 2×10⁸ m/s
D. 4.5×10⁸ m/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v = c/n = 3×10⁸/1.5 = 2×10⁸ m/s. Direct refractive index formula application. Memory tip: 'Higher n ⇒ slower light; v = c/n'. Basic optics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams to verify formula recall and unit handling.

1 nanometer equals
A. 10⁻⁹ m
B. 10⁻¹⁰ m
C. 10⁻⁶ m
D. 10⁻¹² m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
nano = 10⁻⁹. So 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m. Angstrom = 10⁻¹⁰ m. picometer = 10⁻¹² m.
