Units, Measurements & Dimensional Analysis
Solution
I. Diameter of a small ball bearing.
II. Thickness of a pieces of paper.
III. Diameter of a measuring cylinder.
IV. Length of a piece of wire.
Which of the above can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?
A
I, II and IV only .
B
I and II only
C
II and III only
D
III and IV only
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Of all the instruments used in measuring length,the micrometer screw gauge has the highest reading accuracy (0.01 mm), and is therefore used in measuring very small length such as diameter of a small ball bearing, and thickness of a piece of paper.

Reflection, Refraction & Dispersion of Light
Solution
Calculate the position of an object placed in front of a convex mirror having focal length of 12 cm such that an image is formed 6 cm away from the mirror
A
4. 0 cm
B
3. 0 cm
C
12.0 cm
D
9.0 cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
f = -12 cm, v = - 6 cm
(1)/v + (1)/u =(1)/f
(1)/-6 + (1)/u = (1)/-12
(1)/u = (1)/-12 + (1)/6 = (1 + 2)/12 = (1)/12
∴ u = 12 cm

Reflection, Refraction & Dispersion of Light
Solution
When light passes through two media x and y of refraction indices 1.51 and 1.33 respectively, the speed of light in
A
x is same as in y
B
x and y is same as in vacuum
C
x is higher than in y
D
y is higher than in x
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Since 1.51, the refractive index of X is greater than 1.33, the refractive index of y, the speed of light in y is higher than that in X
