According to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence, E equals:

  • A mc
  • B mc^2
  • C mc^3
  • D m/c
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — mc^2
Explanation: Einstein's famous mass-energy equivalence formula states that energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light, showing that mass and energy are fundamentally interchangeable forms of the same entity.

The splitting of white light into its component colors is called:

  • A Reflection
  • B Refraction
  • C Diffraction
  • D Dispersion
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Dispersion
Explanation: Dispersion is the phenomenon where white light separates into its constituent colors, forming a spectrum, because different wavelengths of light refract by different amounts when passing through a prism or similar medium.

What is the term for a substance that does not allow heat or electricity to pass through it easily?

  • A Conductor
  • B Insulator
  • C Semiconductor
  • D Superconductor
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Insulator
Explanation: Insulators, such as rubber, glass, and wood, resist the flow of heat or electric current due to a lack of freely moving charge carriers. They are commonly used to protect wiring and prevent unwanted energy transfer.

  • A First Law
  • B Zeroth Law
  • C Second Law
  • D Third Law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Second Law
Explanation: The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that heat naturally flows from a hot body to a cooler one and entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time.

  • A Boyle's Law
  • B Avogadro's Law
  • C Charles's Law
  • D Kinetic molecular theory
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Kinetic molecular theory
Explanation: The kinetic molecular theory explains that gas pressure results from the constant random motion and elastic collisions of gas molecules with the walls of their container.

Which quantity describes the turning effect of a force around a pivot point?

  • A Torque
  • B Momentum
  • C Impulse
  • D Velocity
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Torque
Explanation: Torque measures the rotational or turning effect produced by a force applied at a distance from a pivot point, calculated by multiplying force by the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation, often called the lever arm.

The magnifying power of a simple microscope increases when the focal length of its lens is:

  • A Made infinite
  • B Increased
  • C Decreased
  • D Kept constant
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Decreased
Explanation: The magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely related to the focal length of its convex lens, so using a lens with a shorter focal length produces greater magnification of the object.

Which type of energy is stored in a compressed spring?

  • A Kinetic energy
  • B Thermal energy
  • C Elastic potential energy
  • D Chemical energy
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Elastic potential energy
Explanation: A compressed spring stores elastic potential energy due to the deformation of its molecular structure and this energy is released as kinetic energy when the spring is allowed to expand.

What causes the phenomenon of a rainbow?

  • A Refraction and dispersion of light
  • B Reflection of light
  • C Diffraction of light
  • D Polarization of light
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Refraction and dispersion of light
Explanation: Rainbows form due to the refraction, internal reflection, and dispersion of sunlight within water droplets in the atmosphere. As white light enters a droplet, it refracts and splits into its constituent colors, creating the familiar arc of colors.
