Question #1
An ultrasound wave has frequency 2 MHz. Time period is
A. 2 μs
B. 0.5 μs
C. 2 ms
D. 0.5 ms

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
T = 1/(2×10⁶) = 0.5×10⁻⁶ s = 0.5 μs.

Question #2
The angle of minimum deviation for a prism depends on:
A. Both angle of prism and refractive index
B. Refractive index only
C. Angle of prism only
D. Wavelength of light only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Minimum deviation δ_m for a prism: n = sin[(A + δ_m)/2] / sin(A/2), where A is prism angle, n refractive index. Thus δ_m depends on both A and n. Since n varies with wavelength (dispersion), δ_m also depends on wavelength, but the primary dependencies are A and n. Memory tip: 'δ_m increases with A and n; used to measure n'. This optics formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that minimum deviation occurs when ray passes symmetrically through prism, a key condition for derivation.

Question #3
The speed of light is maximum in
A. Diamond
B. Water
C. Glass
D. Vacuum

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Light speed max in vacuum c = 3×10⁸ m/s. Slower in medium, v = c/n. Higher n, slower. Diamond n≈2.42, speed lowest. Vacuum n=1.
