Solution
A radioactive source emits X–rays of very short wavelength (10\(^{-13}\)m ). What is the frequency of these rays?
A
2 × 1018HZ
B
3 × 10 19HZ
C
3 × 1021HZ
D
3 × 10-19HZ
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(Wavelength (\lambda) = 10^{-13}m\)
Speed of X-ray = speed of light \(C = 3\times10^{8}m/s\)
Frequently (f) = ?
\(Using V = f\lambda (or (– f \pi for electromagnetic wave)\)
\(f = \frac{c}{\lambda} = 3 \times 10^{8} \div 10^{-13} = 3 \times 10^{8} \times 10^{13}\)
= \(3 \times 10^{8} \times 10^{13}\)
= \(3 \times 10^{21}Hz\)

Solution
Which of the following will increase the boiling point of water?
I. Taking it to a high altitude
II. Dissolving a salt into it
III. Heating it in a sealed flask
IV. Increasing the rate of heat supply
.
A
I only

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The simplest way to change the boiling point of a liquid is to change the surrounding pressure. (a) Using a closed system to artificially increase that pressure will raise the boiling point of a liquid. (b) Boiling point is dependent upon the strength of the bonds between its molecules. For this reason, adding a solute to the liquid will create stronger bonds between molecules, raising the solution’s boiling point without increasing pressure.

Solution
If a projectile has maximum range of 36m, find the speed of projection (Take g = 9.8m/s2)
A
19m/s
B
2m/s
C
4m/s2
D
7m/s2
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Max Range = \(\frac{u^2}{\text{g}}\)
36 = \(\frac{u^2}{9.8}\)
u\(^2\) = 36 x 9.8 = 352.8
u = \(\sqrt{352.8}\) ≈ 18.78m/s

Solution
What is the S.I unit of relative density?
A
kg m-2
B
kg m2
C
kg cm3
D
has no S.I unit
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Note: relative density has no S.I unit
∴ Relative density = weight of substance ÷ weight of equal volume of water
RD = w1 ÷ (w1 – w2) (no S. I unit)

The dimension of universal gravitational constant is……….?
A
\( M^{–1}L^3 T^{–2} \)
B
ML3T2
C
ML3
D
MLT-2
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
f α (MM ÷g2)
F(GMM ÷ r2) [G – gravitational constant]
GMM = Fr2
G = F02 ÷ MM = m × aπr2 ÷ MM (f = ma)
= (m × m5-2 × r2) ÷ MM
= (Kg.m52 × m2) ÷ Kg.Kg
=1 ÷ kg.m3.52
The dimension mathematically representation have a quantities of M, L AND T
M (Mass) = kg, L (Length) = M, T (Time) second
G = kg-1 m2.52(Using dimension rule)
M-1.L3.T-2
∴ The universal gravitational constant (G) =\( M^{–1}L^3 T^{–2} \)

The r.m.s value of a supply voltage is quoted at 200v. What is the approximate peak value of the voltage?
A
200volts
B
300volts
C
283volts
D
250volts
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Vr.m.s = V0 ÷ V2, where Vr.m.s rep. to as voltage root –square mean, v = peak voltage
Vr.m.s = 200volt, v = ?
200 = V0 ÷ V2
V0 = 200v2
= 200 × 1.414
= 282.8 volts V0 = b &approx.; 283 volts
