Question #2
A projectile is fired at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. The ratio of its maximum height to its horizontal range is:
A. 4:1
B. 2:1
C. 1:2
D. 1:4

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The maximum height H = (u^2 * sin^2(theta)) / 2g. The horizontal range R = (u^2 * sin(2theta)) / g. For an angle of 45 degrees, sin(45) = 1/sqrt(2) and sin(90) = 1. H = (u^2 * 0.5) / 2g = u^2 / 4g. R = u^2 / g. Therefore, H/R = (u^2/4g) / (u^2/g) = 1/4. The ratio is 1:4.

Question #3
The splitting of white light into seven colours is called
A. Total internal reflection
B. Dispersion
C. Refraction
D. Scattering

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Dispersion: separation due to different refractive indices for different colours. Refraction is bending. Scattering (Tyndall effect) makes sky blue. Total internal reflection in optical fibers.
