Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) follows a 100 Q | 90 Min | CBT pattern, with General Science as one of its scored sections alongside Reasoning, Quant, English. The reference notes below apply directly to the General Science portion of CRPF's syllabus.

1. Physics: Mechanics and Light

• Newton's Laws: 1st Law (Inertia), 2nd Law (F = ma), 3rd Law (Action & Reaction). • SI Units: Force (Newton), Work/Energy (Joules), Power (Watt), Pressure (Pascal), Frequency (Hertz). • Mirrors: Concave mirror is used by dentists and in headlights (converging). Convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in vehicles (diverging, wide field of view).

2. Chemistry: Chemical Names and Ores
