Refractive index n = c/v. For glass n=1.5, light speed is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Refractive index n = c/v. For glass n=1.5, light speed is:
A. 3×10⁸ m/s
B. 2×10⁸ m/s
C. 1.5×10⁸ m/s
D. 4.5×10⁸ m/s
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.

Radioactive decay to 1/32 initial: number of half-lives:
A. 6
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
(1/2)ⁿ = 1/32 ⇒ 2ⁿ = 32 ⇒ n = 5 half-lives. Exponential decay calculation. Memory aid: '1/2ⁿ remaining; 1/32 = 1/2⁵ ⇒ 5 half-lives'. Radioactivity arithmetic frequently tested in competitive exams.

The phenomenon of diffraction is most pronounced when:
A. Obstacle size is much smaller than wavelength
B. Wavelength is zero
C. Obstacle size is much larger than wavelength
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
