Which type of nuclear reaction splits a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei releasing large amounts of energy?

  • ANuclear fusion
  • BRadioactive decay
  • CNuclear fission
  • DBeta decay
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C β€” Nuclear fission
Explanation: Nuclear fission splits a heavy nucleus such as uranium-235 into smaller nuclei releasing enormous amounts of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.

What is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously emits radiation?

  • AFission
  • BFusion
  • CDiffraction
  • DRadioactive decay
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D β€” Radioactive decay
Explanation: Radioactive decay is the spontaneous emission of radiation from an unstable atomic nucleus as it transforms into a more stable configuration releasing alpha beta or gamma radiation.

Which phenomenon explains the formation of mirages in deserts?

  • AReflection of light
  • BDiffraction of light
  • CTotal internal reflection due to air density layers
  • DDispersion of light
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C β€” Total internal reflection due to air density layers
Explanation: Mirages form due to total internal reflection when light rays from the sky refract through layers of air with varying temperature and density creating the illusion of water on the ground.

What is the angle of incidence when a ray of light undergoes total internal reflection?

  • ALess than the critical angle
  • BEqual to 90 degrees
  • CGreater than the critical angle
  • DEqual to 45 degrees
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C β€” Greater than the critical angle
Explanation: Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser to a rarer medium and the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle causing all light to be reflected back.

Which phenomenon occurs when light bends around the edges of an obstacle or aperture?

  • ARefraction
  • BReflection
  • CDiffraction
  • DDispersion
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C β€” Diffraction
Explanation: Diffraction is the bending of light waves around the edges of an obstacle or through an aperture and is most noticeable when the obstacle size is comparable to the wavelength.

  • AFirst Law
  • BZeroth Law
  • CSecond Law
  • DThird Law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C β€” Second Law

Who financed the Indus Basin Replacement Works under the Indus Waters Treaty?

  • APakistan alone
  • BWorld Bank and an international consortium
  • CIndia alone
  • DAsian Development Bank only
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B β€” World Bank and an international consortium
Explanation: The Indus Basin Replacement Works were financed through the Indus Basin Development Fund, which was supported by the World Bank along with an international consortium of donor countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and West Germany. The funding helped Pakistan construct major dams, barrages, and link canals to replace water supplies affected by the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty.
