The angle of incidence for a light ray is 30°. According to laws of reflection, angle of reflection is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The angle of incidence for a light ray is 30°. According to laws of reflection, angle of reflection is
A. 15°
B. 60°
C. 90°
D. 30°
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Law of reflection: angle of incidence = angle of reflection, both measured from normal. So 30°. If angle with mirror is given, convert to normal. Always equal for smooth surfaces.

A step-up transformer increases
A. Voltage
B. Power
C. Energy
D. Current

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Step-up transformer increases voltage and decreases current proportionally (P = V×I constant ideal). Power constant (ignoring losses). Used in power transmission to reduce I²R losses. Step-down decreases voltage.

Question #3
The time period of revolution of a geostationary satellite is:
A. 12 hours
B. Variable
C. 24 hours
D. 84 minutes

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Geostationary satellites orbit in Earth's equatorial plane with period matching Earth's rotation period (24 hours), so they appear stationary relative to ground. Orbital radius is about 42,000 km from Earth's center. Memory tip: 'Geostationary: T=24 h, equatorial orbit, fixed position; used for communication/weather satellites'. This standard result is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that geostationary is a special case of geosynchronous (same period) with zero inclination; competitive exams often compare low orbit (84 min) vs geostationary (24 h) periods.
