TIR requires light travel from: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

TIR requires light travel from:
A. Air to glass
B. Any to vacuum
C. Glass to air
D. Water to glass
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
TIR: denser→rarer medium AND incidence angle > critical angle. Glass to air satisfies first condition; angle must exceed θ_c. Memory aid: 'TIR: n₁>n₂ AND i>θ_c; direction matters'. Optics condition frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
An athlete runs 200 m in 20 seconds, then returns 100 m back in 10 seconds. The average speed for entire motion is
A. 6.67 m/s
B. 7.5 m/s
C. 15 m/s
D. 10 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total distance = 200 m (forward) + 100 m (back) = 300 m. Total time = 20 s + 10 s = 30 s. Average speed = total distance / total time = 300/30 = 10 m/s. Average velocity would be displacement (200-100=100 m) / 30 s = 3.33 m/s. But average speed is 10 m/s. Wait, 300/30 = 10. But that's option A 10 m/s. I need to check: Did I compute right? 200 m forward, then returns 100 m back, so total path length = 300 m. Time total = 30 s. Average speed = 10 m/s. Option A is 10 m/s, B is 6.67. That gives A. But to test concept, many confuse with velocity. I'll set correct answer A. But I'll adjust to make distinction: Maybe distance first 200 m at 10 m/s, return 100 m at 5 m/s? Already given times. So correct answer A. It's moderate. I'll keep.

Question #2
The position-time graph of a particle is a parabola opening upwards. This indicates that the particle has:
A. Decreasing acceleration
B. Increasing acceleration
C. Constant velocity
D. Constant acceleration

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Position-time graph as parabola: x = x₀ + ut + ½at². This quadratic form indicates constant acceleration 'a'. If acceleration were changing, the graph would be cubic or higher order. Constant velocity would produce a straight line (linear graph). Upward opening parabola implies positive acceleration. Graph interpretation skill is essential: slope of x-t graph = velocity; curvature indicates acceleration. Memory tip: Parabolic x-t graph ⇔ constant acceleration; linear x-t graph ⇔ constant velocity. Competitive exams frequently test graph-concept correlations.

Question #3
Ohm's law V = IR holds for:
A. Ohmic conductors at constant temperature
B. Insulators
C. Semiconductors only
D. All materials

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ohm's law applies to ohmic materials (metals) at constant temperature. Non-ohmic devices (diodes, filaments) have nonlinear V-I characteristics. Memory tip: 'Ohmic = linear V-I graph through origin; temperature must be constant'. Conceptual question testing Ohm's law limitations, frequently examined in competitive exams.
