The splitting of white light into seven colours is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The splitting of white light into seven colours is called
A. Total internal reflection
B. Dispersion
C. Refraction
D. Scattering
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Dispersion: separation due to different refractive indices for different colours. Refraction is bending. Scattering (Tyndall effect) makes sky blue. Total internal reflection in optical fibers.

Question #1
The frequency of a source of sound is 500 Hz. The number of vibrations it makes in 2 minutes is
A. 60000
B. 500
C. 1000
D. 30000

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Frequency = vibrations per second. 500 vibrations per second. In 2 min = 120 s, total vibrations = 500 × 120 = 60,000. Simple multiplication.

Question #2
During boiling, temperature remains constant because heat is used to:
A. Increase pressure
B. Expand volume
C. Break intermolecular bonds
D. Increase kinetic energy

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
At boiling point, supplied heat (latent heat) breaks intermolecular bonds for phase change, not increasing kinetic energy (temperature). Potential energy increases while kinetic energy (temperature) stays constant. Memory aid: 'Latent heat changes state, not temperature'. Conceptual question testing phase change understanding, common in competitive exams to assess microscopic interpretation.

Question #3
The work done by a conservative force acting on a particle moving around any closed path is:
A. Zero
B. Depends on the path taken
C. Negative
D. Positive

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
By definition, a force is conservative if the work done by it on an object moving between two points is completely independent of the path taken. A direct consequence of this is that the total work done by a conservative force (like gravity or electrostatic force) in moving an object around a closed loop (returning to the starting point) is exactly zero.
