Question #1
The time period of revolution of a geostationary satellite is:
A. 12 hours
B. 24 hours
C. Variable
D. 84 minutes

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Geostationary satellites orbit in Earth's equatorial plane with period matching Earth's rotation period (24 hours), so they appear stationary relative to ground. Orbital radius is about 42,000 km from Earth's center. Memory tip: 'Geostationary: T=24 h, equatorial orbit, fixed position; used for communication/weather satellites'. This standard result is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that geostationary is a special case of geosynchronous (same period) with zero inclination; competitive exams often compare low orbit (84 min) vs geostationary (24 h) periods.

Question #2
Interference demonstrates light's:
A. Both
B. Neither
C. Wave nature
D. Particle nature

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Interference (constructive/destructive superposition) is wave phenomenon. Young's double-slit confirmed light's wave nature. Particle nature shown by photoelectric effect. Memory aid: 'Interference/diffraction ⇒ wave; photoelectric ⇒ particle'. Wave-particle duality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
Wire stretched to double length (volume constant). New resistance:
A. 4R
B. R/2
C. 2R
D. R

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Volume constant: A' = A/2 when L' = 2L. R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R. Memory tip: 'Stretch wire: R ∝ L² when volume fixed'. Resistance proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
