Interview Questions #KVPY

This note has been used to help create the KVPY Exam Preparation wiki

Hello everybody!

I've qualified KVPY Stage-1 and it's stage-2 i.e interview round is on 2nd Feb. I just needed some help from you guys regarding what type of questions may be asked from subjects- Physics , Chemistry and Mathematics.

Please share some interesting and brainy questions with/without answers below the subject heads in the comments section !

Example: What happens to the time period of a simple pendulum when a small hole is made at the bottom of the bob filled with water?

Answer: Center Of Gravity shift down due to the leak and thus the effective length increases. Thus, the time period first increases and then goes back to its initial value.

PS: Questions regarding deep understanding of topics are most welcome!

Thanks!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
