Question #1
A ray of light passes from air to glass (refractive index 1.5). If angle of incidence is 30°, angle of refraction is (sin30=0.5)
A. 30°
B. 19.47°
C. 60°
D. 45°

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Snell's law: n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r. 1×0.5 = 1.5 sin r => sin r = 0.5/1.5 = 1/3 ≈ 0.3333 => r ≈ 19.47°. So A.

Question #2
A lactometer operates on the principle of:
A. Pascal's Law
B. Archimedes' Principle
C. Bernoulli's Theorem
D. Newton's Law of Viscosity

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A lactometer is a specific type of hydrometer used to test the purity of milk by measuring its relative density. All hydrometers, including lactometers, work on Archimedes' Principle of buoyancy. They float at a depth that depends directly on the density of the liquid; they sink deeper in less dense liquids (like milk heavily diluted with water).
