Question #1
Which of the following is a good conductor of heat?
A. Silver
B. Air
C. Wood
D. Plastic

Question #2
Work done by a man in carrying a suitcase weighing 10 kg on his head while walking 5 m horizontally (g=10) is
A. 0 J
B. 500 J
C. 50 J
D. 250 J

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Force (weight) is vertical (upward to support), displacement horizontal, angle 90°, cos90°=0, work = 0. No work against gravity because vertical height doesn't change. Energy spent is internal muscular effort, but physics work zero.

Question #3
Laws of reflection state that:
A. Both (a) and (b)
B. Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie in same plane
C. Light bends towards normal
D. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Laws of reflection: (1) Angle of incidence (i) equals angle of reflection (r); (2) Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal at point of incidence all lie in the same plane. Option D describes refraction, not reflection. These laws hold for all reflecting surfaces (plane, curved). Memory tip: 'i = r and coplanar rays'. This definition-based question tests precise recall of fundamental optics laws, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always distinguish reflection laws (i=r) from refraction laws (Snell's law: n₁sin i = n₂sin r).
