Reflection, Refraction & Dispersion of Light
Solution
An object 4 cm high is placed 15 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 5 cm. The size of the image is?
A
2 cm
B
3 cm
C
4 cm
D
5 cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
(1)/v + (1)/u = (1)/f
(1)/v + (1)/15 = (1)/5
(1)/v = (1)/5 - (1)/15 = (3 - 1)/15 = (2)/15
∴ v = (15)/2 = 7.5 cm
magnification = (v)/u = (image size)/object size
(7.5)/15 = (X)/4
∴ image size. X = (7.5 x 4)/15 = 2 cm

Reflection, Refraction & Dispersion of Light
Solution
Dispersion occurs when white light passes through a glass prism because of the?
A
different hidden colours in the glass
B
different speeds of the colour in the glass
C
defects in the glass
D
high density of the glass
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Dispersion is the splitting of white light into its spectral component colors and is caused by different speed of the colors in the prism.

Waves, Sound & Vibrations
Solution
The sound of an electricity bell dies down slowly when air is slowly pumped out from a bottle because
A
the wavelength of sound becomes greater in the bottle
B
sound cannot pass through the bottle
C
sound needs a material medium
D
sound can pass through a vacuum
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Sound wave requires a material medium for its propagation. so when air is being pumped out the density of the medium is being reduced and the sound dies down. when all the air has been pumped out of the glass, no sound will be heard, as sound sound cannot travel through vacuum

Solution
Which of the following is used for the correction of short sightedness?
A
convex lens
B
concave lens
C
convex mirror
D
concave mirror
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Concave lens diverges parallel rays of light. A short sighted person has the image formed before the retina,and the rays have to be diverged so that they intersect to form image onto the retina

Nature of Matter & Separation Techniques
Solution
The droplets of water observed around a bottle of milk taken out of the refrigerator is due to the fact that the?
A
water vapour in the air around the bottle gains some energy from the bottle
B
temperature of the milk drops as it loses heat into the surroundings
C
saturated vapour pressure of the milk is equal to the atmospheric pressure
D
water vapour in the air around the bottle loses some of its energy to the bottle
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
When a cold milk bottle is taken out from the refrigerator, the water vapor in the air around the bottle comes in contact with the cold surface of the bottle and gets condensed.

Solution
Calculate the percentage by mass of nitrogen in calcium trioxonitrate (V)
[Ca = 40, N = 14, O = 16]
A
8.5%
B
13.1%
C
17.1%
D
27.6%
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Calcium trioxonitrate(V) is (CaNO\(_3\))\(_2\)
The molecular mass of CaNO\(_3\))\(_2\) = 40 + (14 + (16 X 3)) x 2 = 164
Relative molecular mass of nitrogen(N\(_2\)) = 14 x 2 = 28
% by mass of nitrogen in CaNO\(_3\))\(_2\) = \(\frac{28}{164}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)
= 17.073 ≈ 17.1%

How many unpaired electron(s) are there in the nitrogen sub-levels?
A
3
B
2
C
1
D
none
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Nitrogen has 7 electrons in all.
Its electronic configuration is = \(1s^22s^22p^3\)
So, it has three unpaired electrons in its p-orbitals.
Note that the p orbital can accommodate a maximum of 6 electrons

The maximum number of electrons in the L shell of an atom is?
A
2
B
8
C
18
D
32
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The maximum number of electrons present in a particular shell is calculated by the formula 2n2, where “n” represents the shell number. For instance, K shell is the first shell and it can hold up to 2(1)2 = 2 electrons. Similarly, L shell is the second shell and it can hold up to 2(2)2 = 8 electrons.

The volume of a given gas is V cm\(^3\) at a pressure P mm Hg. what is the new volume of the gas if the pressure is reduced to half at constant temperature?
A
4 V cm3
B
2 V cm3
C
V/2 cm3
D
V cm3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Given:
V\(_1\) = V cm\(^3\) P\(_1\) = P mmHg V\(_2\) = ? P\(_2\) = \(\frac{P}{2}\) At constant temperature ⇒ Boyle's Law
P\(_1\)V\(_1\) = P\(_2\)V\(_2\)
V\(_2\) = \(\frac{{P_1}{V_1}}{P_2}\)
= \(\frac{{P}\times{V}\times {2}}{P}\)
V\(_2\) = 2V
