AP Polycet (Polytechnic) 2022 Previous Question Paper with Answers And Model Papers With Complete Analysis

56) The device used to measure the specific heat of a substance is

A) micrometer
B) spectrometer
C) calorimeter
D) barometer

View Answer
C) calorimeter

Explanation:Instrument used to measure specific heat is the calorimeter.Answer:Calorimeter

57) If I and are the angles of incidence and refraction respectively, then i

 

A) denser to rarer medium
B) rarer to denser medium
C) throughout denser medium only
D) throughout rarer medium only

View Answer
A) denser to rarer medium

Explanation:If i < r, then the light bends away from normal ⇒ travels from denser to rarer medium.Answer:Denser to rarer medium

58) The physical quantity which has no units, is

A) radius of curvature
B) velocity of light
C) focal length
D) refractive index

View Answer
D) refractive index

Explanation:Refractive index is a ratio, so it has no units.Answer:Refractive index

59) A rectangular tank of depth 2m is full of water of refractive index \frac43. When viewed from the top, the bottom of the tank is seen at a depth of

A) 2.66m
B) 1.5m
C) 1.33m
D) 3.33m

View Answer
B) 1.5m

Explanation:Apparent depth = Real depth / Refractive index
= \frac{2}{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{2 × 3}{4} = 1.5\, \text{m}

60) When we sit at a camp fire, objects beyond the fire are seen swaying. The principle involved in it is

A) refraction
B) reflection
C) total internal reflection
D) dispersion

View Answer
A) refraction

Explanation:Swaying effect due to varying air temperatures → refraction of light.Answer:Refraction
