A piece of ice is floating in a glass beaker containing water. When all the ice melts, the level of water in the beaker will:
A. First rise, then fall
B. Remain the same
C. Rise
D. Fall

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
According to Archimedes' principle, the floating ice displaces a volume of water equal to its own weight. When the ice melts, it transforms into a volume of water that is exactly equal to the volume of water it displaced while floating. Therefore, the water level remains unchanged.

Question #3
Young's double slit: fringe width β = λD/d. If d doubled, β becomes:
A. Half
B. Same
C. Four times
D. Double

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
β ∝ 1/d. If d' = 2d, β' = β/2. Fringe width decreases with increased slit separation. Memory aid: 'β ∝ 1/d; wider slit separation ⇒ narrower fringes'. Wave optics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
