Question #1
The phenomenon of polarization is used in:
A. Sunglasses to reduce glare
B. Neither
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. LCD displays

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Polarized sunglasses use polarizing filters to block horizontally polarized glare reflected from surfaces (water, roads). LCD displays use liquid crystals to rotate polarization, controlling light transmission through polarizers. Memory tip: 'Polarization applications: glare reduction (sunglasses), display technology (LCDs), 3D movies'. This application question tests wave optics uses, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link physical principles to everyday technologies; competitive exams emphasize practical relevance of physics concepts, making abstract phenomena tangible through common devices.

Question #2
If the length of a wire is stretched to double its original length while keeping its volume constant, its new resistance will be:
A. Half the original
B. Twice the original
C. Four times the original
D. Unchanged

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Resistance R = rhoL/A. If the wire is stretched so length becomes L' = 2L, the volume (V = AL) must remain constant. Therefore, the new area A' must be A/2 to maintain V. The new resistance R' = rho(2L)/(A/2) = 4 * (rhoL/A) = 4R. Stretching a wire to double its length increases its resistance strictly by a factor of 4. This is a classic trap question compared to merely 'changing the wire'.

Question #3
Which of the following statements is perfectly true regarding uniform circular motion?
A. Speed is constant but velocity changes continuously.
B. Both speed and velocity change continuously.
C. Both speed and velocity are constant.
D. Velocity is constant but speed changes.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, the magnitude of velocity (speed) remains constant. However, the direction of motion is continuously changing tangentially at every point on the circular path. Since velocity is a vector quantity (requiring both magnitude and direction), a change in direction means the velocity is changing continuously, resulting in an accelerated motion.
