Q:

The wavelike properties of electrons are useful in

A) Magnifying objects B) Lasers
C) Weather reports D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Magnifying objects

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect pointed to the particle properties of light, which had been considered to be a wave phenomenon. Particles like electron and protons have both particle like and wave like behavior. Thus, according to de Broglie, all the material particles in motion possess wave characteristics. Although the dual nature of matter is applicable to all material objects but it is significant for microscopic bodies only.

Q:

Which determines the frequency of a sound wave?

A) Amplitude B) Speed
C) Source D) Medium
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Amplitude

Explanation:

The frequency of a sound wave is determined by the amplitude of the wave. As amplitude of the wave is high the frequency of the wave will also be high.

Q:

An electron and a proton starting from rest get accelerated through potential difference of 100kV. The final speeds of the electron and the proton are Ve and Vp respectively. Which of the following relations is correct?

A) Ve > Vp B) Ve < Vp
C) Ve = Vp D) Cannot be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Ve > Vp

Explanation:

Both when accelerated through a potential difference of 100KV, they will have the same energy. The mass of the electron is less than the mass of a proton, hence it will move faster(momentum).

Q:

If velocity is constant then acceleration is what?

A) constant B) increasing
C) 0 D) infinite
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 0

Explanation:

If an object moves with some velocity that means the magnitude and direction of the object changes i.e, the object moves with some acceleration. Hence, if the object moves with constant velocity, no change in direction and magnitude of speed i.e, no acceleration = 0 acceleration.
