Subjective Questions
Q.1. Give the MKS units for each of the following quantities. (1980)
(ii) Tesla;
(iii) Dioptre;
Q.2. A gas bubble, from an explosion under water, oscillates with a period T
proportional to padbEc. Where ‘P’ is the static pressure, ‘d’ is the density of
water and ‘E’ is the total energy of the explosion. Find the values of a, b and c.
∴ a + b + c = 0, – a – 3b + 2c = 0
– 2a – 2c = 1
On solving, we get
Q.4. Match the ph ysical quan tities given in column I with dimensions
expressed in terms of mass (M), length (L), time (T), and charge (Q) given in
column II and write the correct answer against the matched quantity in a
tabular form in your answer book.
Column I Column II

Q.5. Column -I gives three physical quant ities. Select the appropriate units for
the choices given in Column-II. Some of the physical quantities may have more
than one choice correct :
Column I Column II

Solution.
KEY CONCEPT : Maximum error in Y is given by
If the correct matches are A-p, s and t; B-q and r; C-p and q; and D-s then the correct
darkening of bubbles will look like the given.
Q.1. Some physical quantities are given in Column I and some possible SI units
in which these quantities may be expressed are given in Column II. Match the
physical quantities in Column I with the units in Column II and indicate your
answer by darkening appropriate bubbles in the 4 × 4 matrix given in the
ORS. (2007)

DIRECTIONS (Q. No. 2) : Following question has matching lists. The codes for the
lists have choices (a), (b), (c) and (d) out of which ONLY ONE is correct.
Q.2. Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes
given below the lists: (JEE Adv. 2013)

Ans. (c)
Solution.
Q.1. To find the distance d over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy
conditions, a railways-engineer uses dimensions and assumes that the distance
depends on the mass density ρ of the fog, intensity (power/area) S of the light
from the signal and its frequency f. The engineer finds that d is proportional to
S1/n. The value of n is (JEE Adv. 2014)
Ans. (3)
Solution.
Q.2. During Searle’s experiment, zero of the Vernier scale lies between 3.20 ×
10–2 m and 3.25 × 10–2 m of the main scale. The 20th division of the Vernier
scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional
load of 2 kg is applied to the wire, the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between
3.20 × 10–2 m and 3.25 × 10–2 m of the main scale but now the 45th division of
Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the
thin metallic wire is 2 m and its cross-sectional area is 8 × 10–7m2. The least
count of the Vernier scale is 1.0 × 10–5 m. The maximum percentage error in the
Young’s modulus of the wire is (JEE Adv. 2014)
