The process of coating iron with zinc to prevent rusting is called
A. Galvanisation
B. Annealing
C. Electroplating
D. Alloying
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Galvanisation: iron/steel coated with zinc to prevent corrosion. Zinc acts as sacrificial anode. Electroplating deposits metal layer using electricity. Alloying mixing metals. Annealing heat treatment.

Question #1
Two waves of identical frequency and amplitude superimpose in the same medium. If they meet perfectly in phase (crest meets crest), the resulting amplitude is:
A. Four times the individual amplitude
B. Zero
C. Twice the individual amplitude
D. Same as the individual amplitude

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
This is an example of constructive interference. According to the principle of superposition, the resultant displacement is the algebraic sum of individual displacements. If the waves are perfectly in phase, their amplitudes add directly (A + A = 2A). Note that while amplitude doubles, the intensity (which is proportional to amplitude squared) becomes four times greater.

Question #2
Prism minimum deviation depends on:
A. Wavelength only
B. Refractive index 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
Diffraction limits resolution because:
A. Mirrors reflect poorly
B. Lenses absorb light
C. Atmosphere distorts
D. Light bends around edges, blurring images

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Diffraction spreads light through apertures, creating Airy patterns instead of points. Fundamental limit: θ_min ≈ 1.22λ/D (Rayleigh criterion). Memory tip: 'Diffraction limit: smaller λ or larger aperture ⇒ better resolution'. Wave optics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
