Quantum, Atomic, and Nuclear Physics
What phenomenon occurs when light passes from a vacuum into a glass medium at an angle that exceeds the critical angle for total internal reflection?
Light refracts normally with some part reflecting back into vacuum.
No light passes into glass; instead, all light reflects back into vacuum.
Complete transmission occurs without any reflection due to no reflection threshold.
Some light still enters glass but more reflectivity compared to less inclined incidences.
If two objects at different temperatures come into thermal contact in an isolated system, how does heat transfer occur according to the zeroth law of thermodynamics?
Equally between both objects irrespective of their initial temperatures.
Periodically between objects regardless of their initial temperatures.
From lower to higher temperature until all kinetic energy is equal.
From higher to lower temperature until both reach equilibrium.
In terms of wave properties, what happens to the frequency if the wavelength of a wave increases while its speed remains constant?
The frequency increases
It becomes impossible to determine the frequency
The frequency remains unchanged
The frequency decreases
What type of wave requires an elastic material medium for its propagation?
Electromagnetic waves like light waves.
Mechanical waves such as sound waves.
Gravitational waves from astronomical events.
Matter waves such as electron de Broglie waves.
If a capacitor is connected in parallel with a resistor across a constant voltage source, what will be the initial effect on the voltage across the resistor when the circuit is completed?
The voltage across the resistor will decrease temporarily then return to normal.
There will be no change in voltage across the resistor.
The voltage across the resistor will increase.
There will be an alternating change in voltage across the resistor.
In an experiment using a double-slit setup to analyze light interference patterns, which change would best enhance precision in measuring fringe spacing?
Shortening the distance between slits and screen without recalibrating measurements for new geometry.
Increasing light intensity without adjusting for potential saturation effects on detectors.
Widening slit separation without accounting for resultant changes in fringe visibility and overlap.
Utilizing monochromatic light to create well-defined interference fringes.
In Young's double-slit experiment, what pattern is observed on the screen when monochromatic light passes through two closely spaced slits?
The same brightness throughout without fringes.
A single bright spot at the center.
A bright and dark fringe interference pattern.
An undisturbed uniform illumination similar to slits.

How does increasing frequency affect an ideal inductorโs reactance (inductive impedance) within an AC circuit?
It has no effect on reactance but changes phase angle between current and voltage.
It decreases reactance proportional to frequency.
It increases reactance proportional to frequency.
It inversely increases reactance as frequency squared increases.
How would increasing the frequency of a wave affect its speed if the medium remains constant?
It increases the speed of the wave.
The speed of the wave does not change.
The speed of the wave doubles.
It decreases the speed of the wave.
