Which of the following is an example of a non-contact force? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is an example of a non-contact force?
A. Frictional force
B. Muscular force
C. Gravitational force
D. Tension in string
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Gravity, electrostatic, magnetic forces act without direct contact. Friction, tension, normal require contact. Field forces are non-contact.

Question #1
The frequency of a source of sound is 500 Hz. The number of vibrations it makes in 2 minutes is
A. 30000
B. 60000
C. 500
D. 1000

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Frequency = vibrations per second. 500 vibrations per second. In 2 min = 120 s, total vibrations = 500 × 120 = 60,000. Simple multiplication.

Question #2
An object is placed at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror. The image formed is
A. Real, inverted, same size
B. Real, inverted, diminished
C. Virtual, inverted, same size
D. Virtual, erect, magnified

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
At C (centre of curvature), image is at C, real, inverted, same size. At F, image at infinity. Beyond C, between F and C, diminished. Object between F and C gives beyond C, enlarged.

Question #3
The angle of minimum deviation for a prism depends on:
A. Wavelength of light only
B. Angle of prism only
C. Both angle of prism and refractive index
D. Refractive index only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Minimum deviation δ_m for a prism: n = sin[(A + δ_m)/2] / sin(A/2), where A is prism angle, n refractive index. Thus δ_m depends on both A and n. Since n varies with wavelength (dispersion), δ_m also depends on wavelength, but the primary dependencies are A and n. Memory tip: 'δ_m increases with A and n; used to measure n'. This optics formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that minimum deviation occurs when ray passes symmetrically through prism, a key condition for derivation.
