- C.
No of columns of A is equal to rows of B
- D.
No of rows of A is equal to no of columns of B
Correct Answer
C. No of columns of A is equal to rows of BExplanation
The given answer is correct because in order to multiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix (A) must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix (B). This ensures that the dimensions of the matrices align properly for multiplication. If this condition is not met, the matrices cannot be multiplied. Therefore, the statement "no of columns of A is equal to rows of B" is a necessary condition for the multiplication of matrices A and B.Rate this question:

SN2 mechanism proceeds through the intervention of -
- A.
Carbonium ion
- B.
Transition state
- C.
Free radical
- D.
Carbanion
Correct Answer
C. Free radicalExplanation
The SN2 (substitution nucleophilic bimolecular) mechanism proceeds through the intervention of a free radical. In this mechanism, the reaction occurs in a single step where the nucleophile attacks the substrate and replaces the leaving group. The transition state involves the formation of a transition complex, not a free radical. Carbonium ions and carbanions are intermediates in other types of substitution reactions, not SN2. Therefore, the correct answer is a free radical.Rate this question:

An increase of temperature of a semicon-ductor decreases
- A.
The resistivity
- B.
The band gap
- C.
The conductivity
- D.
Size of the semiconductor.
Correct Answer
A. The resistivityExplanation
When the temperature of a semiconductor increases, the resistivity of the material decreases. This is because at higher temperatures, more electrons are excited from the valence band to the conduction band, increasing the number of charge carriers and therefore decreasing the resistance of the material. As a result, the resistivity decreases, making the semiconductor more conductive. The band gap, on the other hand, remains unaffected by temperature changes. The size of the semiconductor is also not directly related to changes in temperature.Rate this question:

In a p-type silicon, which of the following statements is true
- A.
Electrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants
- B.
Electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants
- C.
Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants
- D.
Holes are majority and trivalent atoms are dopants
Correct Answer
D. Holes are majority and trivalent atoms are dopantsExplanation
In a p-type silicon, holes are the majority carriers and trivalent atoms are used as dopants. This is because p-type silicon is created by adding impurities with three valence electrons, such as boron, to the silicon crystal lattice. These trivalent atoms create "holes" in the crystal structure, which act as positive charge carriers. The majority of charge carriers in a p-type silicon are these holes, while the minority carriers are electrons.Rate this question:

The majority charge carriers in N-type semiconductor is ------
- A.
Holes
- B.
Electrons
- C.
Both Holes & Electrons
- D.
None of above.
Correct Answer
B. ElectronsExplanation
In N-type semiconductors, the majority charge carriers are electrons. This is because N-type semiconductors are doped with impurities that introduce extra electrons into the crystal lattice. These extra electrons become the majority charge carriers and contribute to the conductivity of the material. Holes, on the other hand, are the majority charge carriers in P-type semiconductors, where the material is doped with impurities that create a deficiency of electrons.Rate this question:

P-n junction depletion layer consists of;
- A.
Electrons
- B.
Protons
- C.
Immobile ions
- D.
Mobile ions
Correct Answer
C. Immobile ionsExplanation
The p-n junction depletion layer consists of immobile ions. When a p-n junction is formed, there is a region near the junction where the free electrons from the n-type material and the holes from the p-type material recombine, creating a region depleted of charge carriers. This depletion layer contains immobile ions, which are the positively charged ions from the n-type material and the negatively charged ions from the p-type material. These immobile ions create an electric field that prevents further movement of charge carriers across the junction, resulting in the barrier to current flow characteristic of a p-n junction.Rate this question:

Modification in light intensity due to superposition principle is
- A.
Diffraction
- B.
Refraction
- C.
Interference
- D.
Polarization
Correct Answer
C. InterferenceExplanation
Interference occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine, resulting in a modification of the overall light intensity. This phenomenon is governed by the principle of superposition, which states that the total wave at a point is the sum of the individual waves at that point. Diffraction refers to the bending of waves around obstacles, while refraction is the bending of waves when they pass through different mediums. Polarization refers to the alignment of waves in a specific direction. Therefore, interference is the most appropriate explanation for the modification in light intensity due to the superposition principle.Rate this question:

The Phenimenon of diffraction is occurred at the slit only when
- A.
Size of the slit is greater than wavelength of light
- B.
Size of the slit is comparable to the wavelength of light
- C.
Slit is made up by the light reflecting material
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Size of the slit is comparable to the wavelength of lightExplanation
Diffraction is a phenomenon that occurs when light waves encounter an obstacle or aperture. It refers to the bending and spreading out of the waves as they pass through the slit. This bending and spreading are more pronounced when the size of the slit is comparable to the wavelength of light. If the slit is much larger than the wavelength, the diffraction effects become negligible. Similarly, if the slit is made up of a light reflecting material or none of the above conditions are met, diffraction will not occur. Therefore, the correct answer is that diffraction occurs when the size of the slit is comparable to the wavelength of light.Rate this question:

The basic assumption of the Newton light theory is
- A.
Light is particle nature
- B.
Light is wave nature
- C.
Light is dual nature
- D.
All above
Correct Answer
A. Light is particle natureExplanation
The basic assumption of the Newton light theory is that light is particle nature. This means that light is composed of tiny particles called photons, which travel in straight lines and interact with matter in a particle-like manner. This assumption is in contrast to the wave nature of light, which was later proposed by scientists like Huygens and Young. The particle nature of light explains phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and the behavior of light in the particle-like interactions with matter.Rate this question:

Which of the following principle associated with optical fiber?
- A.
Interference
- B.
Diffraction
- C.
Total internal reflection
- D.
Refraction
Correct Answer
C. Total internal reflectionExplanation
Total internal reflection is the correct answer because it is the principle that allows optical fibers to transmit light signals over long distances. When light travels through the fiber, it undergoes multiple reflections at the interface between the core and the cladding of the fiber. This phenomenon occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, causing the light to be completely reflected back into the core instead of being refracted out of the fiber. This ensures that the light signal stays confined within the fiber and is not lost, enabling efficient transmission of information.Rate this question:

C. Neutrons and protonsExplanation
The nucleus consists of neutrons and protons. Neutrons are particles that have no charge, while protons are positively charged particles. These two particles are found in the nucleus of an atom, which is the central part of the atom. Electrons, on the other hand, are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels. However, they are not part of the nucleus itself. Therefore, the correct answer is neutrons and protons.Rate this question:

- A.
Nuclear fission
- B.
Nuclear fusion
- C.
Burning of gases
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Nuclear fusionExplanation
The release of energy from the sun is due to nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the process in which two or more atomic nuclei come together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the process that occurs in the core of the sun, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. Nuclear fission, burning of gases, and chemical reactions do not account for the energy released by the sun.Rate this question:
