Q1. Shape of the wave front of light emerging out of a convex lens when a point source is placed at its focus.
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The rays of light becomes parallel after passing through a convex lens if the object is placed at focus. The shape of wavefront is plane as wavefront is perpendicular to rays.

Q7. To produce N – type crystal Ge or Si may be doped with a substance that is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
