The working principle of a hydrogen bomb is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The working principle of a hydrogen bomb is
A. Radioactive decay
B. Nuclear fusion
C. Chemical reaction
D. Nuclear fission
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear weapon) uses uncontrolled nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes, triggered by a fission bomb. Releases enormous energy. Sun also uses fusion. Fission used in atomic bomb.

Question #1
Which of the following graphs represents a body at rest?
A. Velocity-time graph with positive slope
B. Velocity-time graph with zero slope
C. Displacement-time graph with constant positive slope
D. Displacement-time graph parallel to time axis

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For a body at rest, displacement remains constant over time. The displacement-time graph is a horizontal line, parallel to time axis, indicating zero slope (velocity = 0). Option A indicates constant velocity. Option B (velocity-time zero slope) means constant velocity, not necessarily rest (could be constant non-zero velocity). Option D indicates acceleration. So C is correct.

Question #2
The phenomenon of splitting of white light into its constituent colours is called
A. Refraction
B. Polarisation
C. Dispersion
D. Scattering

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Dispersion happens because refractive index varies with wavelength. Prism, rainbow. Scattering is Tyndall effect (blue sky). Polarisation restricts vibrations.

Question #3
When a wave travels from one medium to another, which of its properties never changes?
A. Velocity
B. Amplitude
C. Wavelength
D. Frequency

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
When a wave (like light or sound) changes mediums, its velocity changes due to the new medium's optical or mechanical density. Wavelength changes proportionally with velocity (v = fλ). However, frequency is determined solely by the source generating the wave and the energy of the photons/particles, and it remains absolutely constant.
