Question #1
Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume?
A. Isothermal process
B. Isobaric process
C. Adiabatic process
D. Isochoric process

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system remains constant (delta V = 0). Because there is no change in volume, the system does zero pressure-volume work (W = Pdelta V = 0). According to the first law of thermodynamics, any heat added goes entirely into increasing the internal energy. Isobaric is constant pressure; isothermal is constant temperature.

Question #2
The phenomenon of polarization of light demonstrates that light is a:
A. Mechanical wave
B. Matter wave
C. Transverse wave
D. Longitudinal wave

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Polarization (restriction of electric field oscillation to one plane) is possible only for transverse waves, where oscillations are perpendicular to propagation direction. Longitudinal waves (e.g., sound) cannot be polarized as oscillations are along propagation. This was key evidence for light's transverse wave nature. Memory aid: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse wave; light is EM transverse wave'. This conceptual question tests wave optics fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always distinguish wave types: transverse (light, string waves) vs longitudinal (sound, spring waves).

Question #3
Escape velocity depends on:
A. Projectile mass
B. Launch angle
C. Atmosphere
D. Planet mass and radius

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
v_e = √(2GM/R): depends on planet's M and R, independent of projectile mass or launch direction. Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); property of planet, not projectile'. Gravitation concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
