Q:

Through which light cannot pass?

A) Notebook paper B) Water
C) Book D) Sun glasses
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Book

Explanation:

The objects through which light cannot pass are called as Opaque objects. Some objects allow some light to pass through them and are called as Translucent objects. The objects which allow all the light to pass through them are called as Transparent objects.

 

Here in the given options Book is an example of opaque object as it does not allow light to pass through it. Water is transparent object and notebook paper and sun glasses are examples of translucent objects.

Q:

Light travels in a straight line (rectilinear propagation of light). This statement does hold if the medium of travel for light is

A) of variable refractive index B) made up of slabs of different refractive indices
C) homogeneous and transparent D) inhomogeneous and transparent
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) homogeneous and transparent

Explanation:

In vacuum and in homogeneous, transparent media, such as air, water, and glass, light moves in a straight line. When light encounters a boundary between two different transparent media, some light is reflected and some moves from the first into the second medium.

Q:

In spherical polar coordinates (l, q, a), q denotesthe polar angle around z-axis and a denotes the azimuthal angle raised from x-axis . Then the y-component of P is given by

A) Psinq sina B) Psinq cosa
C) Pcosq sina D) Pcosq cosa
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Psinq sina

Explanation:

The Cartesian Coordinates can be retrieved from spherical coordinates (l,q,a) by:

X = r.sinq.cosa

Y = r.sinq.sina

Z = r.sinq

Using the same we get for P,

Y = P.sinq.sina
