If $\cos x + \cos^2 x = 1$,then the value of $\sin^2 x + \sin^4 x$ is

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,the maximum height attained by the body from the surface of the earth is

Two coherent point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ vibrating in phase emit light of wavelength $\lambda$. The separation between them is $2 \lambda$ as shown in the figure. The first bright fringe is formed at $P$ due to interference on a screen placed at a distance $D$ from $S_1$ $(D >> \lambda)$. Then the distance $OP$ is:

$A$ metal $M$ and its compound can give the following observable changes in a sequence of reactions: $M$ $\xrightarrow{\text{dil. } HNO_3} M(NO_3)_2$ $\xrightarrow{NaOH} \text{White ppt.}$ $\xrightarrow{\text{Excess } NaOH} \text{Colourless solution}$ $\xrightarrow{H_2S} \text{White ppt.}$. Identify the metal $M$.

If $2x + 3y + 12 = 0$ and $x - y + 4\lambda = 0$ are conjugate with respect to the parabola $y^2 = 8x$,then $\lambda$ is equal to

The potential difference between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is changing at the rate of $10^6\, V/s$. If the capacitance is $2\,\mu F$,the displacement current in the dielectric of the capacitor will be.....$A$
