31. An object is placed in front of a convex mirror of focal length 9 cm, at a distance of 18 cm. The magnification produced by the mirror is________. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) 1/3
Solution:If M = magnification. .f = focal length, and u= object distance, then magnification is given by m = f/(f-u)

• So, M= 9/(9-18) = 9/-9=-1

32. The focal length of convex A mirror is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (3) positive
Solution:The distance from the lens to the focal point is called the focal length.

• For diverging or convex mirrors, the focal length is always positive.

• For a converging or concave mirror, the focal length is always negative.

• The focal length of a convex mirror is half of its radius of curvature.

33. The part of the magnet from where magnetic field lines emerge is knwon as: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (2) north pole
Solution:Magnetic field lines always emerge or start from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.

• Magnetic field lines never cross each other.

• The magnetic field is the area around a magnet in which the effect of magnetism is felt.

34. Induced current is maximum when________. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) direction of motion of the coil is perpendicular to the magnetic field
Solution:direction of motion of the coil is perpendicular to the magnetic field

• Therefore, when the direction of motion of the coil is at right angles to the magnetic field, the induced current is the highest.

I α dø/dt

I = A dø/dt

T = -AB sin ω

when ω = 90°, n induced current will be maximum where,

ø  = magnetic flux

I = Induced current

B= magnetic flux density

ω = angle between direction of motion of the coil and magnetic fielt

A = Cross Sectional and area.

35. If the power of a convex lens is 3 dioptre, then its focal length will be: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) +0.33 m
Solution:The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length in meters, or D=1/f, where D is the power in diopters and f is the focal length in meters.

• So, f =1/D = 1/3 = 0.33 metres

36. If the resistance of a conductor is 4.2Ω and 220V is applied across it then the current passing through the conductor is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) 52.38 ampere
Solution:ΩAccording to Ohm's law, the current, I, flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage. V. and inversely proportional to the resistance, R

• According to the equation I = V/R, or R = V/I

• From the question, R = 4.2 Ω and V = 220V

• So, I = 220/4.2 = 52.38 A

37. Wires of copper, silver, nichrome and glass are made having similar length and diameter. Which will have the highest resistance? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (3) Glass
Solution:The property of a conductor that opposes the flow of electric current through them and is independent of the shape and size of the materials but depends on the nature and temperature of the materials is called resistivity.

• Among the given options, Glass has the highest resistivity of 1010 -1014Ω

• Being an alloy, Nichrome (100 x 10-⁶) has higher resistivity than silver, copper and aluminium.

38. It is found that during dispersion of white light by a glass prism, the more a colour component is bent, the more is the refractive index of the glass for that colour component. If µr. μy and µy are refractive indices for red, violet and yellow lights, respectively, then which of the following relations between them is correct? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 09.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (2) μv >μy > μr
Solution:Bending of light is inversely proportional to the wave length of the light.

• Higher wavelengths bend less, whereas shorter wavelength bend more.

• Out of all violet has the least wavelength and hence it bends the most and red has the highest wavelength, so it bends the least.

ColorWavelength Interval
Red~700–635 nm
Orange~635–590 nm
Yellow~590–560 nm
Green~560–520 nm
Cyan~520–490 nm
Blue~490–450 nm
Violet~450–400 nm

39. If the length of the wire is doubled and cross section area of the wire is halved then the resistivity of the material is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 14.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) unchanged
Solution:The property of a conductor that opposes the flow of electric current through them is called resistivity.

• It is independent of the shape and size of the materials but depends on the nature and temperature of the materials.

• The resistivity of the material will not change (remain the same) as it is independent of the length or cross-section of the wire.

40. ________is a suitable mirror that can be used to focus sunlight to a point. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 14.09.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) A concave mirror
Solution:A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that is recessed inward (away from the incident light).

• In it, all the incident sun rays are converged to the focal point and hence energy radiations are focussed at a single point.

• So, they are used to concentrate light on a given spot.
