The waves used in radar are MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The waves used in radar are
A. Radio waves
B. Ultrasound
C. Sound waves
D. Microwaves
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) uses microwaves, a type of radio wave but usually specific microwave band. Often answer is microwaves. But radio waves also correct. I'll specify microwave as typical answer. Could be radio. Better: microwave. Many exams say microwaves. I'll stick with B.

Question #1
The speed of light is maximum in
A. Vacuum
B. Water
C. Glass
D. Diamond

Correct Answer: Option A


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.

Question #2
At what depth below the surface of the Earth does the acceleration due to gravity become zero?
A. At a depth equal to one-fourth the radius of the Earth
B. At a depth equal to half the radius of the Earth
C. At the center of the Earth
D. It never becomes zero

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity at a depth 'd' is given by g' = g(1 - d/R), where R is the radius of the Earth. If we go to the center of the Earth, the depth 'd' becomes exactly equal to R. Substituting d = R into the formula gives g' = g(1 - R/R) = g(1 - 1) = 0. So, gravity is zero at the core.

Question #3
Momentum conservation follows from:
A. Newton's first law
B. Energy conservation
C. Newton's third law
D. Newton's second law

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Internal forces cancel in pairs (third law), so net external force = 0 ⇒ dp/dt = 0 (second law) ⇒ momentum constant. Memory aid: 'Momentum conservation ⇔ no external force ⇔ action-reaction pairs'. Mechanics foundation frequently tested in competitive exams.
