description: "\nThe following are multiple choice questions (with answers) about conceptual\
  \ physics.\n\nQ: Colors in a soap bubble result from light\n(A) converted to a different\
  \ frequency (B) deflection (C) interference (D) polarization\nA: Let's think step\
  \ by step. In a soap bubble film, the light bounces between the two soap-air interfaces\
  \ many times, interfering with itself constructively or destructively depending\
  \ on the width of the film. This results in different colors being visible. The\
  \ answer is (C).\n\nQ: Compared with the mass of a uranium atom undergoing fission,\
  \ the combined masses of the products after fission are\n(A) less (B) more (C) the\
  \ same (D) zero\nA: Let's think step by step. Fission releases energy, which comes\
  \ from the rest mass of its initial nucleus. Thus the mass of the products is less\
  \ than the mass of the reactant uranium nucleus. The answer is (A).\n\nQ: Things\
  \ that are equivalent according to the equivalence principle are\n(A) space and\
  \ time. (B) a traveling twin and a stay-at-home twin. (C) gravity and acceleration.\
  \ (D) mass and energy.\nA: Let's think step by step. Einstein\u2019s famous equivalence\
  \ principle states that gravity and acceleration are equivalent. The answer is (C).\n\
  \nQ: Which of these three elements has the most mass per nucleon?\n(A) Hydrogen\
  \ (B) Iron (C) Uranium (D) Same in each\nA: Let's think step by step. Due to nuclear\
  \ binding energy, the mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of individual\
  \ masses of the free constituent protons and neutrons; this is known as the mass\
  \ defect. Hydrogen has no mass defect because it has only a single nucleon, so it\
  \ will have the most mass per nucleon. The answer is (A).\n\nQ: A model airplane\
  \ flies slower when flying into the wind and faster with wind at its back. When\
  \ launched at right angles to the wind a cross wind its groundspeed compared with\
  \ flying in still air is\n(A) the same (B) greater (C) less (D) either greater or\
  \ less depending on wind speed\nA: Let's think step by step. The plane\u2019s speed\
  \ in the direction of the wind is greater than it would be in the absence of wind,\
  \ and its direction orthogonal to the wind is the same as it would be in the absence\
  \ of the wind. The total speed, which is these two components added in quadrature,\
  \ is thus greater than the speed in still air. The answer is (B)."
