Question #1
SONAR is based on the principle of:
A. Reflection of sound waves
B. Diffraction of sound waves
C. Polarization of sound waves
D. Refraction of sound waves

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) relies on the reflection of ultrasonic waves. A transmitter sends out sound waves, which travel through water, strike an object (like a submarine or the seabed), and reflect back as an echo to a receiver. By measuring the time taken for the echo to return, the distance can be calculated.

Question #2
Interference demonstrates light's:
A. Both
B. Particle nature
C. Neither
D. Wave nature

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Interference (constructive/destructive superposition) is wave phenomenon. Young's double-slit confirmed light's wave nature. Particle nature shown by photoelectric effect. Memory aid: 'Interference/diffraction ⇒ wave; photoelectric ⇒ particle'. Wave-particle duality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
The function of a fuse in a domestic circuit is to
A. Regulate voltage
B. Increase power factor
C. Reduce current
D. Protect against short circuit and overload

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fuse is a safety device: thin wire melts when current exceeds safe limit due to short circuit or overload, breaking circuit. Prevents fire and appliance damage. Based on heating effect. MCB is modern alternative.
