Question #1
An echo returned in 0.5 s. If speed of sound is 340 m/s, the distance of reflecting surface is
A. 170 m
B. 340 m
C. 85 m
D. 680 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
d = (v×t)/2 = (340×0.5)/2 = 170/2 = 85 m. Minimum distance for echo perception is about 17 m. Remember divide by 2 for one-way distance.

Question #3
The magnetic susceptibility of a diamagnetic material is:
A. Large and negative
B. Large and positive
C. Small and positive
D. Small and negative

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Diamagnetic materials have small negative susceptibility (χ ≈ -10⁻⁵), meaning they weakly repel magnetic fields. Paramagnetic: small positive χ; ferromagnetic: large positive χ. This classification is based on response to external magnetic fields. Memory aid: 'Diamagnetic: repelled by magnets; χ < 0'. This conceptual question tests magnetism fundamentals, crucial for competitive exams. Always link susceptibility sign to material behavior: negative χ ⇒ diamagnetic (weak repulsion), positive ⇒ paramagnetic/ferromagnetic (attraction).
