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:

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:

What type of heat transfer is boiling water?

A) radiation B) conduction
C) convection D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) convection

Explanation:

Convection is by far the most efficient and common way for heat to be transferred through liquids and gases. It occurs when some regions of a fluid get hotter than others, causing currents in the fluid that move it around to distribute that heat more evenly.

Q:

The term photon refers to

A) light ray B) sub atomic particle
C) radiation D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) sub atomic particle

Explanation:

The photon is a type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force. The photon has zero rest mass and always moves at the speed of light within a vacuum.
