Resonance occurs when the frequency of an external force matches the:

  • A Speed of a system
  • B Natural frequency of a system
  • C Wavelength of a system
  • D Amplitude of a system
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Natural frequency of a system
Explanation: Resonance occurs when a system is driven at its natural frequency, the frequency at which it tends to oscillate in the absence of external forces, resulting in a dramatic increase in amplitude.

What is the term for the process of converting alternating current into direct current?

  • A Induction
  • B Amplification
  • C Rectification
  • D Transformation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Rectification
Explanation: Rectification is the process of converting alternating current, which periodically reverses direction, into direct current that flows steadily in one direction. Devices called rectifiers, often using diodes, perform this essential conversion in electronic circuits.

Which phenomenon explains why the sky appears blue?

  • A Scattering of blue light by atmospheric molecules
  • B Reflection of ocean colour
  • C Absorption of blue light by clouds
  • D Refraction through ice crystals
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Scattering of blue light by atmospheric molecules
Explanation: The sky appears blue due to Rayleigh scattering where shorter blue wavelengths of sunlight are scattered more strongly by atmospheric gas molecules than longer wavelength red light.

Which property of a body is measured by the amount of matter it contains?

  • A Weight
  • B Density
  • C Mass
  • D Volume
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Mass
Explanation: Mass is the measure of the amount of matter contained in a body and remains constant regardless of location unlike weight which depends on gravitational field strength.

Which principle states that pressure in a static fluid increases with depth depending on fluid density?

  • A Bernoulli's Principle
  • B Archimedes' Principle
  • C Pascal's Principle
  • D Hydrostatic pressure principle
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Hydrostatic pressure principle
Explanation: The hydrostatic pressure principle states that pressure in a static fluid increases linearly with depth depending on fluid density and gravitational acceleration expressed as P equals rho g h.

What is the term for the minimum angle at which total internal reflection occurs?

  • A Angle of incidence
  • B Critical angle
  • C Angle of refraction
  • D Angle of reflection
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Critical angle
Explanation: The critical angle is the specific angle of incidence beyond which light traveling from a denser to a less dense medium is completely reflected internally rather than refracting out, a principle used in optical fibers.

When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance:

  • A Increases
  • B Becomes infinite
  • C Remains the same as any one resistor
  • D Decreases below the smallest individual resistance
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Decreases below the smallest individual resistance
Explanation: When resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the total resistance equals the sum of the reciprocals of each individual resistance, always resulting in a total less than the smallest resistor.
