The power of a lens is +2 D. Its focal length is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The power of a lens is +2 D. Its focal length is
A. 2 m
B. 0.5 m
C. 20 cm
D. 50 cm
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Power P = 1/f (in metre). f = 1/P = 1/2 = 0.5 m = 50 cm. Positive power indicates convex lens. For concave lens, power negative. Dioptre (D) is SI unit of power. Remember f in metres.

Question #2
A projectile is fired at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. The ratio of its maximum height to its horizontal range is:
A. 1:4
B. 1:2
C. 4:1
D. 2:1

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The maximum height H = (u^2 * sin^2(theta)) / 2g. The horizontal range R = (u^2 * sin(2theta)) / g. For an angle of 45 degrees, sin(45) = 1/sqrt(2) and sin(90) = 1. H = (u^2 * 0.5) / 2g = u^2 / 4g. R = u^2 / g. Therefore, H/R = (u^2/4g) / (u^2/g) = 1/4. The ratio is 1:4.

Question #3
A train 100 m long crosses a pole in 5 seconds. Its speed in km/h is
A. 72 km/h
B. 20 km/h
C. 36 km/h
D. 50 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Speed = distance/time = 100 m / 5 s = 20 m/s. Convert to km/h: multiply by 18/5 => 20 × 18/5 = 72 km/h. Pole is a point, so train's own length is the distance crossed. Speed in km/h = m/s × (18/5). 20 × 18/5 = 72.
