Questions
Q.1 Immiscible transparent liquids A, B, C, D and E are placed in a rectangular 1
container of glass with the liquids making layers according to their densities.
The refractive index of the liquids are shown in the adjoining diagram. The
container is illuminated from the side and a small piece of glass having
refractive index 1.61 is gently dropped into the liquid layer. The glass piece as
it descends downwards will not be visible in
(a) Liquid A and B only

(b) Liquid C only
(c) Liquid D and E only
(d) Liquid A, B, D and E
Q.2 We have two wires A and B of same mass and same material. The diameter of 1
the wire A is half of that B. If the resistance of wire A is 24 ohm then the
resistance of wire B will be
(a) 12 Ohm (b) 3.0 Ohm (c)1.5 Ohm (d) None of the above
Q.3 Assertion : The 200 W bulbs glows with more brightness then 100 W bulbs. 1
Reason : A 100 W bulb has more resistance than a 200 W bulb.
(a) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct
explanation
of Assertion.
(b) Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct
explanation of Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.

potential difference across the two ends of the component decreases to half
of its former value. What change will occur in the current through it?
