ICSE Class 10

ICSE Class 10 Modern Physics — Mock Test (2027)

Free online mock test for Modern Physics (ICSE Class 10 Physics) — 20 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.

What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Modern Physics chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.

Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.

Sample questions

  1. 1.Heavy stable nuclei have more neutrons than protons. This is because of the fact that
    • a.electrostatic force between protons are repulsive
    • b.neutrons decay into protons through beta decay
    • c.neutrons are heavier than protons
    • d.nuclear forces between neutrons are weaker than that between protons
  2. 2.A thorium isotope ${}^{223}\mathrm{Th}$ undergoes an α-decay and changes into radium. What are the atomic number and mass number of the radium produced?
    • A.Atomic number 88, mass number 219
    • B.Atomic number 90, mass number 223
    • C.Atomic number 86, mass number 215
    • D.Atomic number 92, mass number 227
  3. 3.2. In β-emission from a radioactive substance, an electron is ejected. This electron comes from
    • A.the outermost orbit of atom
    • B.the inner orbits of atom
    • C.the surface of substance
    • D.the nucleus of atom
  4. 4.During the emission of a beta particle from a radioactive nucleus, which of the following remains the same?
    • A.Atomic number
    • B.Mass number
    • C.Number of neutrons
    • D.Number of protons
  5. 5.Why do we usually use isotopes emitting gamma radiations as radioactive tracers in medical science?
    • A.Gamma radiations are highly penetrating and can be detected outside the body, making them ideal for medical imaging.
    • B.Gamma radiations are non-ionizing and completely safe for all body tissues.
    • C.Gamma radiations have the shortest half-life, reducing exposure time for patients.
    • D.Gamma radiations are absorbed by bones, making them useful for skeletal imaging only.
