Question #1
The phenomenon of polarization is used in:
A. Neither
B. Sunglasses to reduce glare
C. LCD displays
D. Both (a) and (b)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Polarized sunglasses use polarizing filters to block horizontally polarized glare reflected from surfaces (water, roads). LCD displays use liquid crystals to rotate polarization, controlling light transmission through polarizers. Memory tip: 'Polarization applications: glare reduction (sunglasses), display technology (LCDs), 3D movies'. This application question tests wave optics uses, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link physical principles to everyday technologies; competitive exams emphasize practical relevance of physics concepts, making abstract phenomena tangible through common devices.

Question #2
The weight of a body is maximum at
A. Centre of Earth
B. Equator
C. Poles
D. Same everywhere

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
g_pole > g_equator due to less centrifugal effect and Earth's oblateness. At centre g=0, weightless. So weight max at poles.
