Optical fibers are based on -
Correct Answer
A. Total internal reflection
Explanation
Optical fibers are based on total internal reflection. This phenomenon occurs when light traveling through a medium with a higher refractive index encounters a boundary with a medium of lower refractive index at an angle greater than the critical angle. Instead of refracting out of the medium, the light is reflected back into it. This principle is utilized in optical fibers to guide and transmit light signals over long distances with minimal loss of signal strength.

When a screw gauge is completely closed, zero of circular scale is 4 divisions below the reference line of graduation. If least count of screw gauge is 0.001 cm, the zero correction is -
Correct Answer
A. - 0.004 cm
Explanation
The zero of the circular scale being 4 divisions below the reference line means that the screw gauge is not properly calibrated. The least count of the screw gauge is 0.001 cm, which means that each division of the circular scale represents 0.001 cm. Since the zero is 4 divisions below the reference line, the zero correction would be 4 divisions multiplied by the least count, which is 4 * 0.001 cm = 0.004 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is - 0.004 cm.

What is percentage of error in the measurment of time period of a pendulum if maximum error in the measurment of l and g are 2% and 4% respectively?
Correct Answer
C. 3%
Explanation
The percentage of error in the measurement of the time period of a pendulum can be calculated by taking into account the maximum errors in the measurement of l (length of the pendulum) and g (acceleration due to gravity). Since the maximum error in the measurement of l is 2% and the maximum error in the measurement of g is 4%, the total error can be calculated as the sum of the individual errors, which is 2% + 4% = 6%. To calculate the percentage of error in the time period, we divide the total error by the sum of l and g, which is 6% / 200% = 3%. Therefore, the correct answer is 3%.

What will be the molality of the solution containing 18.25 g of HCl gas in 500 g of water ?
Correct Answer
D. 1 m
Explanation
The molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. In this case, the solute is HCl gas and the solvent is water. To find the molality, we need to first calculate the number of moles of HCl gas. The molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol. Therefore, the number of moles of HCl gas is 18.25 g / 36.46 g/mol = 0.5 mol. Next, we need to calculate the mass of the water in kilograms, which is 500 g / 1000 = 0.5 kg. Finally, we can calculate the molality by dividing the number of moles of HCl gas by the mass of the water in kilograms: 0.5 mol / 0.5 kg = 1 m.

0.1 mole of carbohydrate with empirical formula CH2O contains 1 g of hydrogen. What is its molecular formula?
Correct Answer
A. C5H10O5
Explanation
The empirical formula of the carbohydrate is CH2O, meaning it contains one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. Since it is given that 1 gram of hydrogen is present, we can calculate the molar mass of hydrogen and compare it to the molar mass of the carbohydrate. The molar mass of hydrogen is approximately 1 g/mol, which means that 1 gram of hydrogen is equal to 1 mole of hydrogen atoms. Since there are 0.1 moles of the carbohydrate, the molar mass of the carbohydrate must be approximately 10 g/mol. By dividing the molar mass of the carbohydrate by the molar mass of the empirical formula (30 g/mol), we find that the molecular formula is C5H10O5.
28.
When 22.4 lit of H2 (g) is mixed with 11.2 lit of Cl2 each at S.T.P. the mole of HCl gas formed is equal to -
Correct Answer
