MHT CET Physics Sample Questions
Q.1 The length of Oscillation of a pendulum of length 1cm is 32 cm. What’s the maximum velocity?
Q.2 What’s the angular velocity in time?
Q.3 Angle made by Optical ray is called?
Q.4 The frequency for a series limit of Balmer and Paschen Series are X1, X2 and X3. If the frequency of the first line of Balmer series X2 then the relation between X1, X2 AND X3 is?
MHT CET 2023 Preparation Tips
- Go through the syllabus first.
- Solve the question papers of past years.
- After doing these aforementioned steps, you would be able to figure out your weaknesses and strengths.
- Take help from your mentors in the weaker Sections.
- Keep a diary with you, and make a list of topics which you want to cover within one week. Further, revise the completed topics daily.
- Important discoveries in physics should be watched by candidates to develop interest in this subject. As per the syllabus provided by MHT CET Cell for this exam, topics in long paragraphs and words should be avoided.
- It's often seen that students take Small and Theory based questions very lightly. They hardly pay attention to the easy topics as they focus on other tough and lengthy topics. This is really a wrong approach on their part. Candidates should note that examiners want to check their analytical skills and subject knowledge. In the exam, each and every topic should be crystal clear for you, whether it's easy or tough. Because easy questions are asked in a tricky way.
