Question #1
The phenomenon of polarization is used in:
A. Sunglasses to reduce glare
B. Both (a) and (b)
C. LCD displays
D. Neither

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Polarized sunglasses use polarizing filters to block horizontally polarized glare reflected from surfaces (water, roads). LCD displays use liquid crystals to rotate polarization, controlling light transmission through polarizers. Memory tip: 'Polarization applications: glare reduction (sunglasses), display technology (LCDs), 3D movies'. This application question tests wave optics uses, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link physical principles to everyday technologies; competitive exams emphasize practical relevance of physics concepts, making abstract phenomena tangible through common devices.

Question #2
Two resistors in series have equivalent 6 Ω, in parallel 4/3 Ω. Individual resistors are
A. 2 Ω and 4 Ω
B. 1 Ω and 5 Ω
C. 2 Ω and 2 Ω
D. 3 Ω and 3 Ω

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Series: R1+R2=6. Parallel: (R1×R2)/(6)=4/3 => R1R2=8. Solving: R1,R2 = 2,4.

Question #3
Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is:
A. 16.7 N
B. 60 N
C. 100 N
D. 10 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Weight W = mg. On Earth: 10×10 = 100 N. On Moon: g_moon ≈ 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m/s². W_moon = 10×1.67 ≈ 16.7 N. Mass remains 10 kg; weight changes with gravity. Memory tip: 'Mass constant; weight ∝ g'. Tests mass-weight distinction and gravity variation, common conceptual question in competitive exams.
