Question #2
A person with myopia uses spectacles of power -2 D. Far point without glasses is
A. 2 m
B. 25 cm
C. 50 cm
D. Infinity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For myopia, corrective lens forms image of distant object at far point. 1/f = 1/(-far point) - 1/(-∞) => -2 = -1/F => F = 0.5 m = 50 cm.

Question #3
A seismograph is used to detect:
A. Atmospheric pressure changes
B. Earthquakes
C. Sound waves in water
D. Magnetic field variations

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Seismograph detects and records ground motions caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or explosions. It measures seismic waves (P-waves, S-waves). Barometer detects pressure changes; hydrophone detects underwater sound; magnetometer detects magnetic fields. Memory tip: 'Seismo = earthquake (like seismology)'. This instrument-application question tests knowledge of geophysical tools, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always associate instrument names with their field of use: seismograph (geology), barometer (meteorology), etc.
