1. What is the formula to calculate acceleration?

• A. Acceleration= Mass Force ​
• B. Acceleration= Force Mass ​
• C. Acceleration= Time Distance ​
• D. Acceleration= Time Change in Velocity ​

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Acceleration is calculated as the change in velocity divided by the time taken.

2. What type of energy does a stretched rubber band possess?

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Potential energy
• C. Thermal energy
• D. Mechanical energy

Correct answer:

Rationale: When a rubber band is stretched, it stores potential energy due to its position or state.

3. A light ray travels from air (refractive index 1.00) into water (refractive index 1.33). What happens to its speed and direction?

• A. Speed increases, direction bends towards the normal.
• B. Speed increases, direction bends away from the normal.
• C. Speed decreases, direction bends towards the normal.
• D. Speed and direction remain unchanged.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Due to the change in refractive index, the light ray bends towards the normal (water) as it slows down upon entering the denser medium.

4. A common indicator used to distinguish between acidic and basic solutions is:

• A. Methyl orange
• B. Phenolphthalein
• C. Universal indicator
• D. All of the above are common indicators.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Phenolphthalein turns pink in basic solutions and remains colorless in acidic solutions

5. What property of a substance refers to its ability to be drawn into thin wires?

• A. Conductivity
• B. Ductility
• C. Viscosity
• D. Malleability

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Ductility refers to a substance's ability to be drawn into thin wires without breaking.

6. Photons, the basic unit of light, are:

• A. Charged particles
• B. Packets of energy with wave-particle duality
• C. Electromagnetic waves only
• D. Always absorbed by matter

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Packets of energy with wave-particle duality. Photons are the smallest discrete amount of electromagnetic radiation and exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. While photons do not have a charge, they do carry energy and momentum. This dual nature of photons is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. Photons can travel as both waves and particles, and their behavior is described by the wave-particle duality principle. Therefore, option B accurately describes the nature of photons as packets of energy with wave-particle duality.
