Correct Option
Explanation
Conduction, wave motion, and radiation are all mechanisms by which energy can be transferred, so 'All of these' is correct.

Correct Option
Explanation
For a fluid with fixed bulk modulus, wave speed is inversely proportional to the square root of density, v ∝ 1/√ρ.

Correct Option
Explanation
For x = A sin φ, displacement is maximum at φ = 90° (sin φ = 1).
715
When mass of a string is increased 4 times its original value, the velocity of the wave
A. increases 4 times to its original value
B. reduces to one fourth
C. becomes double
D. reduces to one half
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Wave speed on a string v ∝ 1/√(mass per unit length); if mass per unit length increases 4×, speed becomes 1/2 of original.
716
Stationary waves only a discrete set of frequencies are set up in a medium. This fact is called
A. superposition of frequencies
B. quantization of frequencies
C. overtones
D. harmonics
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
The restriction to a discrete set of allowed frequencies in stationary waves is described as quantization of frequencies.
717
The polarized light is _____ intense as compared to unpolarized light.
A. More
B. Equally
C. Less
D. Much less
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Polarization typically reduces the net intensity (e.g., ideal polarizer transmits half the intensity of unpolarized light), so polarized light is less intense.
718
A spring of force constant k is cut into three equal parts, which are joined in parallel to each other. The force constant of the combination will be
A. k
B. 3k
C. 9k
D. k/3
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Each third has constant 3k; three such springs in parallel give total k_total = 3·(3k) = 9k.
719
Waves that have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel are
A. standing waves
B. hair wave
C. longitudinal waves
D. transverse wave
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
In longitudinal waves the particle motion is parallel to the direction of wave propagation, so they fit the description.
