Waves MCQ questions with answers
The first 3 of 20 questions. Unlock the series for the rest, each with a solution.
Q1. Two tuning forks of frequencies 256 Hz and 260 Hz are sounded together. The number of beats heard per second is:
256 Hz तथा 260 Hz आवृत्तियों के दो स्वरित्र द्विभुज एक साथ बजाए जाते हैं। प्रति सेकंड सुनी गई विस्पंदों की संख्या है:
- A. 516
- B. 4
- C. 8
- D. 2
Solution
The beat frequency equals the difference of the two frequencies, |260 − 256| = 4 beats per second.
विस्पंद आवृत्ति दोनों आवृत्तियों के अंतर के बराबर होती है, |260 − 256| = 4 विस्पंद प्रति सेकंड।
Q2. Assertion (A): At the same temperature, the speed of sound in moist air is greater than in dry air. Reason (R): The density of moist air is less than that of dry air. Select the correct option:
अभिकथन (A): समान तापमान पर, आर्द्र वायु में ध्वनि की चाल शुष्क वायु की तुलना में अधिक होती है। कारण (R): आर्द्र वायु का घनत्व शुष्क वायु के घनत्व से कम होता है। सही विकल्प चुनिए:
- A. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A / A तथा R दोनों सत्य हैं परन्तु R, A की सही व्याख्या नहीं है
- B. A is false but R is true / A असत्य है परन्तु R सत्य है
- C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A / A तथा R दोनों सत्य हैं तथा R, A की सही व्याख्या है
- D. A is true but R is false / A सत्य है परन्तु R असत्य है
Solution
Since v = √(γP/ρ), a lower density raises the speed; moist air (containing lighter water-vapour molecules) is less dense than dry air, so R correctly explains A.
चूँकि v = √(γP/ρ) है, कम घनत्व चाल को बढ़ाता है; आर्द्र वायु (जिसमें हल्के जल-वाष्प अणु होते हैं) शुष्क वायु की तुलना में कम घनी होती है, अतः R, A की सही व्याख्या करता है।
Q3. The speed of sound in air at 27 °C is v. If the temperature is raised to 327 °C at the same pressure, the speed of sound becomes:
27 °C पर वायु में ध्वनि की चाल v है। यदि समान दाब पर तापमान बढ़ाकर 327 °C कर दिया जाए, तो ध्वनि की चाल हो जाती है:
- A. √3 v
- B. 4v
- C. 2v
- D. √2 v
Solution
Since v ∝ √T (absolute temperature), the ratio is √(600/300) = √2, so the new speed is √2 v.
चूँकि v ∝ √T (परम ताप) होता है, अनुपात √(600/300) = √2 है, अतः नई चाल √2 v होगी।
