Unit-1 Questions-Applied Physics

This document provides sample questions for a physics exam covering topics in quantum mechanics including blackbody radiation, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, de Broglie wavelength, Schrodinger equation, and particle in a box. The questions are divided into short answer questions (VSAQ), short answer questions (SAQ), and long answer questions (LAQ) with the LAQ providing the most in depth examination of each topic. Students are asked to define key terms, derive relevant equations, explain physical phenomena, and apply concepts through example calculations.
