Question #1
Laws of reflection state that:
A. Light bends towards normal
B. Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie in same plane
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Laws of reflection: (1) Angle of incidence (i) equals angle of reflection (r); (2) Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal at point of incidence all lie in the same plane. Option D describes refraction, not reflection. These laws hold for all reflecting surfaces (plane, curved). Memory tip: 'i = r and coplanar rays'. This definition-based question tests precise recall of fundamental optics laws, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always distinguish reflection laws (i=r) from refraction laws (Snell's law: n₁sin i = n₂sin r).

Question #2
An object of mass 1 kg is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s. Its de Broglie wavelength is (h = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js)
A. 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ m
B. 6.63 × 10⁻³⁶ m
C. 6.63 × 10⁻³³ m
D. 6.63 × 10⁻³⁵ m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
λ = h/(mv) = 6.63×10⁻³⁴/(1×10) = 6.63×10⁻³⁵ m. Extremely small, not observable. For electron it's significant. de Broglie hypothesis: matter waves. This is modern physics.

Question #3
The weight of a body on a planet is 100 N. If planet's radius is half and density same as Earth, weight becomes
A. 25 N
B. 50 N
C. 200 N
D. 100 N

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
g = GM/R² = G (ρ 4/3 π R³)/R² ∝ ρ R. If radius half, density same, g becomes half. Weight half = 50 N.
