AP SSC Physics Answer Key 2026 (Unofficial)

Q. NoQuestionAnswer
1Give one example of an exothermic reaction.The burning of natural gas (methane) is a common example. CH4+2O2→ CO2+ 2H2O + Heat
2Name one metal which will not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.Copper (Cu) - (Gold, Silver, and Platinum are also correct as they are less reactive than hydrogen)
3Develop a slogan to spread awareness about the harmful effects of consuming alcohol.Shatter the glass, before alcohol shatters your life."
4Distinguish convex and concave mirrors based on any one property.
  • Convex Mirror: It always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished (smaller) image.
  • Concave Mirror: It can form both real and virtual images, and usually produces an enlarged image when the object is close.
5Define dispersion of light.Dispersion is the phenomenon where white light splits into its constituent seven colors (VIBGYOR) when it passes through a transparent medium like a glass prism.
7Why is the series arrangement not used for domestic circuits?In a series circuit, if one component fails or is switched off, the entire circuit breaks and all other appliances stop working. Also, each appliance would not get the full voltage required to operate efficiently.
14 (1) - Passage on Refractive IndexIf the refractive index of air is '1', what is the speed of light in air?The speed of light in air is 3 X 108m/s (the same as in a vacuum).
14 (2) - Passage on Refractive IndexAn optically rarer medium means having relatively _______ speed of light in the medium.Higher (or greater) - Logic - In a rarer medium, the refractive index is lower, so light travels faster.
14 (3) - Passage on Refractive IndexWhat are the units of refractive index?It has no units. Logic - It is a ratio of two similar quantities—speeds—so the units cancel out
14 (4) - Passage on Refractive IndexRavi said refractive index and speed of light are inversely proportional and Raju said refractive index and speed of light are in direct proportion. Who is correct?Ravi is correct.

  • Mar 25, 2026 02:08 PM IST

    Answer for Question Number 16 (B) - Mechanism of the Cleaning Action of Soap

    Soap molecules are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids. They consist of two parts:

    1. Hydrophilic Head: A polar head that is "water-loving."

    2. Hydrophobic Tail: A long hydrocarbon chain that is "water-fearing" but "oil-loving."

    Mechanism:

    • Micelle Formation: When soap is added to water containing oily dirt, the hydrophobic tails attach themselves to the oil/dirt, while the hydrophilic heads point outward into the water. This forms a spherical structure called a micelle.

    • Emulsification: The oil becomes trapped in the center of the micelle.

    • Removal: Since the surface of the micelle is negatively charged (heads), the micelles repel each other and stay suspended in water. When the clothes are agitated or rinsed, these micelles (carrying the dirt) are washed away with the water.

    Answer for Question Number 15 (A) - Myopia: Cause, Effect, and Rectification

    Myopia (Nearsightedness) is a defect of vision where a person can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly.

    Causes:

    1.  Excessive curvature of the eye lens.

    2.  Elongation of the eyeball.

    Effect: Light rays from a distant object converge in front of the retina instead of on it, resulting in a blurry image of far-off objects.

    Rectification: This defect is corrected by using a concave (diverging) lens of suitable focal length. The lens diverges the incoming rays so that they appear to come from the eye's far point, allowing the eye lens to focus them exactly on the retina.

  • Mar 25, 2026 01:11 PM IST

    Answer for Question Number 13 - Write any two advantages of a) avoiding corrosion b) thermite process

    a) Advantages of avoiding corrosion:

    • Saves Economic Loss: It prevents the damage of expensive infrastructure like bridges, ships, and industrial machinery, saving huge repair and replacement costs.
    • Ensures Safety: Corrosion weakens metallic structures; avoiding it prevents structural failures and accidents (like bridge collapses).

    b) Advantages of the thermite process:

    • On-site Repairs: It is highly effective for joining or repairing broken railway tracks and heavy machine parts right at the spot.
    • No External Power: The reaction is so exothermic that it produces molten metal without the need for an external furnace or large power supply.

  • Mar 25, 2026 12:59 PM IST

    Answer for Question Number 12 (b) - Electrolytic Refining of Copper

    This process is used to obtain pure copper from impure copper blocks. To draw this, include these labels:

    1. Anode (+): A thick block of impure copper.

    2. Cathode (-): A thin strip of pure copper.

    3. Electrolyte: An acidified solution of Copper Sulphate 

    4. Anode Mud: Impurities that settle down below the anode.

    Reaction Principle:

    When current passes, Cu2+ ions from the electrolyte deposit on the cathode as pure copper, while an equivalent amount of copper from the impure anode dissolves into the electrolyte.

  • Mar 25, 2026 12:22 PM IST

    Answer for Question Number 12 - Draw a neat ray diagram

    i) Object at C (Center of Curvature):

    • Position of Image: Formed exactly at C.
    • Nature of Image: Real and inverted.
    • Size of Image: Same size as the object.

    ii) Object between F (Focus) and C (Center of Curvature):

    • Position of Image: Formed beyond C.
    • Nature of Image: Real and inverted.
    • Size of Image: Magnified (larger than the object).

  • Mar 25, 2026 12:10 PM IST

    Answer for Question Number 10

  • Mar 25, 2026 11:56 AM IST

    Answer for Question Number 9

    The process of dissolving an acid in water is highly exothermic (releases a large amount of heat).

    • If water is added to acid: The heat generated is so intense that it can cause the mixture to splash out violently, potentially causing acid burns. The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating.
    • If acid is added to water: Adding acid slowly with constant stirring allows the heat to be absorbed and dissipated by the larger volume of water, making the process much safer.
