The angle of reflection is measured from MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The angle of reflection is measured from
A. Surface of mirror
B. Reflected ray
C. Incident ray
D. Normal to the surface
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Angle of incidence and reflection are measured with respect to the normal (perpendicular) at point of incidence. Not from surface. If angle from surface given, convert.

Question #1
Which physical law explains the generation of lift force on an airplane wing?
A. Archimedes' Principle
B. Pascal's Law
C. Bernoulli's Principle
D. Boyle's Law

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure. Airplane wings (airfoils) are shaped so that air travels faster over the curved top surface than the flat bottom. This creates lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below, resulting in an upward lift force.

Question #2
The instrument that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is:
A. Transformer
B. Electric motor
C. Galvanometer
D. Generator

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Generator converts mechanical energy (rotation) to electrical energy via electromagnetic induction. Motor does the reverse (electrical to mechanical). Transformer changes AC voltage levels; galvanometer detects small currents. Memory aid: 'Generator: motion ⇒ electricity; Motor: electricity ⇒ motion'. This principle-based question tests understanding of energy conversion devices, crucial for electromagnetism in competitive exams. Always link device function to underlying physics law: generator (Faraday's law), motor (Lorentz force).
