Question #2
Prism minimum deviation depends on:
A. Refractive index only
B. Wavelength only
C. Prism angle only
D. Both angle and n

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Formula: n = sin[(A+δ_m)/2]/sin(A/2). δ_m depends on prism angle A and refractive index n. Memory tip: 'δ_m increases with A and n; used to measure n'. Optics formula frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
SONAR is based on the principle of:
A. Refraction of sound waves
B. Polarization of sound waves
C. Reflection of sound waves
D. Diffraction of sound waves

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) relies on the reflection of ultrasonic waves. A transmitter sends out sound waves, which travel through water, strike an object (like a submarine or the seabed), and reflect back as an echo to a receiver. By measuring the time taken for the echo to return, the distance can be calculated.
