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

Q:

Through which light cannot pass?

A) Notebook paper B) Water
C) Book D) Sun glasses

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:

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.
