The least count of a standard vernier calliper is generally
A. 0.01 cm
B. 1 cm
C. 0.1 cm
D. 0.001 cm
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD = 0.1 - 0.09 = 0.01 cm (common).

Question #1
Myopia is corrected by
A. Convex lens
B. Bifocal lens
C. Cylindrical lens
D. Concave lens

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Myopia (nearsightedness) requires diverging lens (concave). Hypermetropia needs convex.

Question #2
de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝:
A. v
B. 1/v²
C.
D. 1/v

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
p = mv ⇒ λ = h/(mv) ⇒ λ ∝ 1/v for constant mass. Higher velocity ⇒ shorter wavelength. Memory tip: 'λ = h/mv; faster particle ⇒ smaller wavelength'. Quantum mechanics relation frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #3
The mass of a proton is approximately how many times the mass of an electron?
A. 10
B. 1000
C. 1836
D. 100

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Proton mass ≈ 1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg, electron ≈ 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg, ratio ≈ 1836. Neutron slightly heavier. Atomic mass concentrated in nucleus.
