CAT-1 Sample Paper-1

1. The document contains a continuous assessment test for a modern physics course with 7 multiple choice and descriptive questions. It provides relevant physical constants and concepts needed to answer the questions. 2. The test contains questions that assess understanding of concepts like the ultraviolet catastrophe, tunneling effect, matter waves, carbon nanotubes, photon wavelength scattering, Schrodinger equation, Davisson-Germer experiment, Moore's law, Wien's displacement law, uncertainty principle, and more. 3. Students are asked to derive equations, describe experiments, explain physical phenomena, and apply concepts to theoretical or real-world examples over the course of the test.
