Question #1
The buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid depends on
A. Density of the object
B. Depth of immersion
C. Shape of the container
D. Density of the fluid and volume of displaced fluid

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid = ρ_fluid × V_displaced × g. Independent of depth (if fluid incompressible) and object's density, though object density determines if it floats. Shape affects volume displaced when floating.

Question #2
Polarization impossible in:
A. Radio waves
B. X-rays
C. Sound in air
D. Light

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Polarization requires transverse waves. Sound in air is longitudinal (oscillations ∥ propagation) ⇒ cannot be polarized. EM waves (light, radio, X-rays) are transverse ⇒ can be polarized. Memory tip: 'Polarization ⇒ transverse only; sound = longitudinal ⇒ no polarization'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive exams.
