Simple pendulum period T = 2π√(l/g). If length quadrupled, T becomes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Simple pendulum period T = 2π√(l/g). If length quadrupled, T becomes:
A. Same
B. Double
C. Half
D. Four times
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
T ∝ √l. If l' = 4l, T' = √4 × T = 2T. Period doubles when length quadruples. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ √l; 4× length ⇒ 2× period'. Proportional reasoning frequently tested in competitive oscillations sections.

Question #1
TIR requires light travel from:
A. Air to glass
B. Any to vacuum
C. Glass to air
D. Water to glass

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
TIR: denser→rarer medium AND incidence angle > critical angle. Glass to air satisfies first condition; angle must exceed θ_c. Memory aid: 'TIR: n₁>n₂ AND i>θ_c; direction matters'. Optics condition frequently tested in competitive exams.

A 2 kg object has potential energy 196 J at a height (g=9.8) of
A. 196 m
B. 10 m
C. 98 m
D. 20 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
h = PE/(mg) = 196/(2×9.8) = 196/19.6 = 10 m.
