When a tiny circular obstacle is placed in the path of light from a distant source, a bright spot is seen at the centre of the shadow of the obstacle. This happens because A rays of light refract through the obstacle and meet at the centre of the shadow. B the obstacle converges the parallel beam on its focus. C light is transmitted preferentially in the forward direction. D waves diffracted from the edge of the obstacle interfere

constructively at the centre of the shadow. An applied voltage signal consists of a superposition of a dc voltage and an ac voltage of high frequency. The circuit consists of an inductor (L) and a capacitor (C) in series. In this situation A dc signal appears across C and the ac signal across L. B dc signal appears across L and the ac signal across C. C the same combination of dc and ac signals appears across both L and C. D only the ac signal appears over both L and C. The triple point of CO2 has pressure = 5.11 atm, and temperature = - 56.6 o C . If CO2 at 3.5 atm is cooled from room temperature at constant pressure, A it first passes through its liquid phase and then solidifies. B it condenses to its solid form without passing through the liquid phase. C its pressure cannot remain constant because of Charles law, its pressure begins to decrease with decrease in temperature. D its liquid and gaseous phases cannot be distinguished. The relation C P CV = R is A true for any ideal gas. B true for any real monoatomic gas C true for only ideal monoatomic gas. D true for any substance in nature. A child sits stationary at the rear end of the trolley that is moving with a
