Einstein's theory of relativity introduced the concept of:

  • A Zero gravity in space
  • B Relative space and time
  • C Absolute space and time
  • D Fixed speed of all objects
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Relative space and time
Explanation: Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized physics by proposing that measurements of space and time are relative to the observer's frame of reference, rather than being absolute and universal as previously believed.

A scalar quantity has:

  • A Only magnitude
  • B Both magnitude and direction
  • C Neither magnitude nor direction
  • D Only direction
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Only magnitude
Explanation: Scalar quantities such as mass, time, speed, and temperature are fully described by their magnitude alone and do not require a direction, unlike vector quantities like force or velocity.

Which scientist discovered the electron?

  • A Ernest Rutherford
  • B Niels Bohr
  • C James Chadwick
  • D J.J. Thomson
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — J.J. Thomson
Explanation: J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 through his cathode ray tube experiments. He demonstrated that cathode rays consisted of negatively charged particles much smaller than atoms, leading to the plum pudding model of atomic structure.

Which wave property determines the pitch of a sound?

  • A Amplitude
  • B Wavelength
  • C Frequency
  • D Speed
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Frequency
Explanation: The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch, with higher frequencies producing higher-pitched sounds and lower frequencies producing lower-pitched sounds. Frequency is measured in Hertz, representing the number of wave cycles per second.

Echo is caused by the:

  • A Refraction of sound
  • B Diffraction of sound
  • C Interference of sound
  • D Reflection of sound
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Reflection of sound
Explanation: An echo occurs when sound waves reflect off a hard, distant surface and return to the listener's ear after a perceptible delay, requiring a minimum distance for the reflected sound to be distinguished.

The process by which a heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei is called:

  • A Radioactive decay
  • B Nuclear fission
  • C Nuclear fusion
  • D Beta decay
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Nuclear fission
Explanation: Nuclear fission is the process in which a heavy atomic nucleus, such as uranium, splits into two smaller nuclei along with the release of a large amount of energy and free neutrons.

Which law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed only converted from one form to another?

  • A Zeroth Law
  • B Second Law
  • C Third Law
  • D First Law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — First Law
Explanation: The First Law of Thermodynamics also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only converted from one form to another.

If a stone is dropped from a height, its velocity just before hitting the ground depends on:

  • A Mass only
  • B Mass and height
  • C Air resistance only
  • D Height only
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Height only
Explanation: Ignoring air resistance, the final velocity of a freely falling object depends solely on the height from which it falls and gravitational acceleration, since mass cancels out in the equations of free fall.

What is the term for the energy carried by a photon proportional to its frequency?

  • A Kinetic energy
  • B Potential energy
  • C Photon energy
  • D Binding energy
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Photon energy
Explanation: Photon energy describes the discrete amount of energy carried by a single photon, calculated by multiplying its frequency by Planck's constant. Higher frequency photons, such as ultraviolet or gamma rays, carry significantly more energy.

Which model of the atom describes electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels?

  • A Thomson's Plum Pudding model
  • B Rutherford's model
  • C Dalton's model
  • D Bohr's atomic model
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Bohr's atomic model
Explanation: Bohr's atomic model proposed in 1913 describes electrons orbiting the nucleus in fixed energy levels or shells and electrons emit or absorb energy when transitioning between levels.

What is the SI unit of temperature?

  • A Kelvin
  • B Celsius
  • C Fahrenheit
  • D Joule
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Kelvin
Explanation: The Kelvin scale is the SI unit for temperature, based on absolute zero as its starting point, where all molecular motion theoretically ceases. It is widely used in scientific research due to its absolute reference point.

What is meant by the term inertia in physics?

  • A The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
  • B The tendency of an object to accelerate
  • C The force of gravity on an object
  • D The energy stored in a moving object
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
Explanation: Inertia is the property of matter by which an object resists changes to its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line as described by Newton's First Law.

Which principle explains why airplanes can generate lift while flying?

  • A Pascal's Law
  • B Bernoulli's Principle
  • C Archimedes' Principle
  • D Newton's Third Law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Bernoulli's Principle
Explanation: Bernoulli's Principle explains that faster-moving air over an airplane wing's curved upper surface creates lower pressure compared to the slower air beneath, generating an upward lift force that helps sustain flight.

  • A Kinetic energy
  • B Thermal energy
  • C Chemical energy
  • D Potential energy
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Potential energy
Explanation: A stretched rubber band stores elastic potential energy due to deformation of its molecular structure. When released, this stored energy converts into kinetic energy, causing the band to snap back to its original shape rapidly.

The formula for electric power in terms of voltage and current is:

  • A P = V/I
  • B P = I/V
  • C P = VI
  • D P = V + I
