A. 5
B. 2
C. 4
D. 3
Answer: Option C

The phenomenon of mirage is due to
A. Refraction and total internal reflection
B. Reflection
C. Total internal reflection
D. Dispersion

Correct Answer: Option A

Question #3
If a force of 10 N acts on a body and displaces it by 2 m in the direction of the force, the work done is:
A. 12 J
B. 5 J
C. 20 J
D. 0 J

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Work done (W) is calculated as the dot product of force and displacement: W = F × d × cos(θ). Since the displacement is in the direction of the force, the angle θ is 0°, and cos(0°) = 1. W = 10 N × 2 m × 1 = 20 Joules (J).
