Consider the list of physical properties below. According to special relativity, which ones are dependent on the observer speed?
- Length
- Energy
- Time
- All of these
Correct Answer

A. All of these

Explanation

According to special relativity, all of the listed physical properties (length, energy, and time) are dependent on the observer's speed. This is because special relativity states that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to each other. As an observer's speed approaches the speed of light, these properties can change and are perceived differently by different observers. Therefore, all of these physical properties are influenced by the observer's speed.

According to variation of mass with velocity the relativistic mass m is given by (where m₀ is rest mass of an object)
Correct Answer

A.

Explanation

According to the theory of relativity, the relativistic mass of an object is given by the equation m = m0 / sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2), where m0 is the rest mass of the object, v is its velocity, and c is the speed of light. This equation shows that as the velocity of an object approaches the speed of light, its relativistic mass increases. This is due to the time dilation and length contraction effects predicted by relativity, which cause an increase in mass as an object's velocity increases.

‘Ionization of gas is produced when nuclear radiations pass through it’. This is the principle of which of the following detectors?
- Liqud crystal counter
- Flow counter
- Geiger Muller counter
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Geiger Muller counter

Explanation

The principle of the Geiger Muller counter is based on the ionization of gas when nuclear radiations pass through it. This means that when the radiations interact with the gas molecules, they cause the gas atoms to lose electrons, creating positively charged ions. The Geiger Muller counter detects these ionizations by using a gas-filled chamber and measuring the electrical current produced when the ions move towards the electrodes. This principle allows the Geiger Muller counter to effectively detect and measure nuclear radiation levels.

Fibre optical cables work on the principle of
- Reflection of light
- Total internal reflection
- Total Internal refraction
- Interference
Correct Answer

A. Total internal reflection

Explanation

Fibre optical cables work on the principle of 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 reflects back inside, allowing it to travel through the cable without significant loss of signal. Total internal reflection is crucial for transmitting data through fibre optic cables, as it ensures that the light signals remain confined within the cable and can travel long distances without significant degradation.

Rate this question:
34.

Outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back into fibre optic cable is called as
- Sheath
- Axis
- Cladding
- Core
Correct Answer

A. Cladding

Explanation

The outer optical material surrounding the core of a fibre optic cable is called cladding. Cladding is designed to have a lower refractive index than the core, which allows it to reflect the light back into the core through total internal reflection. This ensures that the light signal travels along the core without significant loss of signal strength. The cladding acts as a protective layer for the core, preventing external interference and maintaining the integrity of the optical signal.

Rate this question:
35.

In the fiber optic cable, the refractive index of cladding is always _______the refractive index of core.
- Less than
- Equal to
- Greater than
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Less than

Explanation

In fiber optic cables, the refractive index of the cladding is always less than the refractive index of the core. This is because the cladding is designed to have a lower refractive index in order to create total internal reflection within the core. This ensures that the light signals transmitted through the core are effectively contained and guided along the fiber without significant loss or dispersion.

The numerical aperture (NA) is the measure of how much light the fiber can collect. The expression for NA is (where θa is acceptance angle)
- NA = sin θa
- NA = cos θa
- NA = tan θa
- NA = sec θa
Correct Answer

A. NA = sin θa

Explanation

The correct answer is NA = sin θa. The numerical aperture (NA) is a measure of the light-gathering ability of a fiber. It is determined by the acceptance angle (θa) of the fiber. The expression NA = sin θa indicates that the numerical aperture is equal to the sine of the acceptance angle. This means that the NA increases as the acceptance angle increases, allowing the fiber to collect more light.

The angle at which the light must be transmitted through fiber optic cable in order to get maximum reflection is called as
- Brewster’s angle
- Angle of refraction
- Acceptance angle
- Angle of reflection
Correct Answer

A. Acceptance angle

Explanation

The acceptance angle refers to the maximum angle at which light can enter a fiber optic cable and still be transmitted efficiently. This angle is determined by the refractive index of the fiber and the surrounding medium. If the angle of incidence exceeds the acceptance angle, the light will not be effectively transmitted and will experience significant losses. Therefore, the acceptance angle plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal transmission of light through fiber optic cables.

A. Half adder has two inputs while full adder has three inputs

Explanation

A half adder is a digital circuit that adds two single-bit binary numbers and has two inputs, one for each bit. It produces a sum and a carry as outputs. On the other hand, a full adder is a digital circuit that adds three single-bit binary numbers, including a carry from a previous addition. It has three inputs, one for each bit and an additional carry input. It produces a sum and a carry as outputs. Therefore, the correct answer is "Half adder has two inputs while full adder has three inputs."
