Question #1
Nuclear fusion combines:
A. Light nuclei
B. Heavy nuclei
C. Protons and electrons
D. Neutrons and protons

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fusion: light nuclei (e.g., hydrogen) combine to form heavier nucleus (helium), releasing energy (stars, H-bomb). Fission splits heavy nuclei (U, Pu). Memory tip: 'Fusion = joining light; Fission = splitting heavy'. Nuclear reaction concept frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #2
An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity 'v' and mass per unit length is 'm'. What is the power imparted to the water?
A. mv^2
B. 1/2 m^2v
C. mv^3
D. 1/2 mv^3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Power is the rate of doing work or imparting kinetic energy (dK/dt). Mass exiting per second = m * v (mass/length * length/time). Kinetic energy imparted per second = 1/2 * (mass per second) * v^2 = 1/2 * (mv) * v^2 = 1/2 * m * v^3. This is a very common advanced mechanics question.

Question #3
Dispersion occurs because:
A. Prism absorbs colors
B. TIR occurs
C. Different colors have different speeds in medium
D. Different frequencies

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
n varies with λ ⇒ v = c/n varies ⇒ different refraction angles (Snell's law). Frequency constant; wavelength changes in medium. Memory aid: 'Dispersion: n(λ) ⇒ v(λ) ⇒ different bending; violet bends most'. Optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
