Reflection, Refraction & Dispersion of Light
Solution
Calculate the angle of minimum deviation of a 60º prism of a refractive index 1.5[ \(sin^{-1}\) (0.75) = 49º]
A
38o
B
19.47o
C
16.25o
D
49o
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For a refractive index () = \(\frac{\sin\frac{1}{2} (A + D)}{\sin\frac{1}{2}A}\)
D = angle of minimum deviation
A = refractive angle of the prism
1.5 = \(\frac{\sin\frac{1}{2} (60 + D)}{\sin\frac{1}{2} \times 60}\)
1.5 = \(\frac{\sin\frac{1}{2} (60 + D)}{\sin 30}\)
Sin \(\frac{1}{2}\) (60 + D) = 1.5 * Sin 30
Sin \(\frac{1}{2}\) (60 + D) = 0.75
\(\frac{1}{2}\) (60 + D) = Sin-1 (0.75)
but Sin-1 (0.75) = 49o
\(\frac{1}{2}\) (60 + D) = 49
60 + D = 2 * 49 = 98o
D = 98o - 60o
D = 38o

Current Electricity & Electric Circuits
Solution
What is the cost of running seven 40 W lamps and five 80 W lamps for 12 hours of the electrical energy cost N7.00kWh?
A
N80.00
B
N45.36
C
N65.00
D
N57.12
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Seven 40W lamps = 7 \times 40 = 280W
Five 80W lamps = 5 \times 80 = 400W
Total power = 280W + 400W
= 680W
= \(\frac{680KW}{1000}\) = 0.68KW
The kilowatt hour = 0.68 KW \times 12 hrs
= 8.16 KWh
Cost is N 7 per KWh
So the cost of running them = 8.16KWh \times N 7/KWh
= 57.12

Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
V = IR from ohms law
I = \(\frac{V}{R}\)
Since the resistances are in parallel
\(\frac{1}{Reff}\) = \(\frac{1}{18}\) + \(\frac{1}{12}\) + \(\frac{1}{6}\)
= \(\frac{2 + 3 + 6}{36}\) = \(\frac{11}{36}\)
R\(_{eff}\) = \(\frac{36}{11}\) = 3.27
I = I\(_1\) + I\(_2\) + I\(_3\)
= \(\frac{V}{Reff}\)= \(\frac{12}{3.27}\)
= 3.669A
I = 3.7A

Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
u = , H = 20, g = 10
From equation of motion under gravity
H = ut ± \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2, It is falling so g is +ve
H = 0 + \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2
H = \(\frac{1}{2}\)gt2
2H = gt2
\(\frac{2H}{g}\) = t2
t = \(\frac{\sqrt{2H}}{g}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt {2 \times 20}}{10}\)
= √4
= 2s

Solution
The velocity ratio of an inclined plane where angle of inclination in θ is
A
Sinθ
B
Cosθ
C
Tanθ
D
\(\frac{1}{\sin \theta}\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Consider an inclined plane shown below, as the effort moves along OB, the load moves is lifted up through a vertical height AB
V.R = \(\frac{\text{distance moved by effort}}{\text{distance moved by load}}\) = \(\frac{OB}{AB}\)
But Sinθ = \(\frac{opp}{hyp}\) = \(\frac{AB}{OB}\)
therefore; = \(\frac{OB}{AB}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sin \theta}\)

Solution
Which of the following representations is correct for an atom X with 28 electrons and 30 neutrons?
A
\(^{58}_{28}X\)
B
\(^{30}_{28}X\)
C
\(^{28}_{30}X\)
D
\(^{58}_{30}X\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
An atom can be represented thus,
\(^{Z}_{A}X\) where Z = mass number
A = atomic number
A = number of proton = number of electrons in a free state = 28
Z = number of protons + number of neutrons = 28 + 30 = 58
\(^{58}_{28}X\)is the representation
