The principle of working of a hydrogen bomb is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The principle of working of a hydrogen bomb is
A. Chain reaction
B. Nuclear fusion
C. Chemical explosion
D. Nuclear fission
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Hydrogen bomb uses uncontrolled fusion of deuterium and tritium triggered by fission bomb. Releases vast energy, thermonuclear reaction. Sun's energy is fusion.

Question #1
A ball is thrown vertically upward with velocity 49 m/s. Maximum height (g=9.8) is
A. 122.5 m
B. 245 m
C. 98 m
D. 490 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
H = u²/(2g) = 2401/(19.6) = 122.5 m.

Question #2
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 72 km/h in 10 seconds. What is the distance covered during this time?
A. 400 m
B. 100 m
C. 200 m
D. 720 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
First, convert speed to SI units: 72 km/h = 72 × (5/18) m/s = 20 m/s. Initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity (v) = 20 m/s, time (t) = 10 s. Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t = 20/10 = 2 m/s². Distance (s) = ut + (1/2)at² = 0 + 0.5 × 2 × 10² = 100 meters.

Question #3
Nuclear reactor moderator function:
A. Absorb neutrons
B. Slow neutrons
C. Emit neutrons
D. Shield radiation

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Moderator (water, graphite) slows fast neutrons to thermal energies for efficient fission in U-235. Control rods absorb neutrons to regulate reaction. Memory tip: 'Moderator = neutron slower; Control rods = neutron absorber'. Reactor component function frequently tested in competitive nuclear physics questions.
