Question #1
The splitting of white light into seven colours is called
A. Total internal reflection
B. Refraction
C. Dispersion
D. Scattering

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
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 #2
If the percentage error in measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, the percentage error in volume is
A. 6%
B. 2%
C. 4%
D. 8%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Volume V = (4/3)πr³, so ΔV/V = 3 Δr/r. Percentage error in volume = 3 × 2% = 6%.

Question #3
If the momentum of a body is increased by 50%, what will be the percentage increase in its kinetic energy?
A. 50%
B. 225%
C. 100%
D. 125%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Kinetic energy (K) and momentum (p) are related by K = p^2 / 2m. If momentum increases by 50%, the new momentum p' = p + 0.5p = 1.5p. The new kinetic energy K' = (1.5p)^2 / 2m = 2.25 (p^2 / 2m) = 2.25 K. This means K has increased by 1.25 K, which is a 125% increase. Understanding quadratic relationships is crucial for such problems.
