Correct Option
Explanation
Angular frequency ω = sqrt(k/m) = sqrt(8/2) = sqrt(4) = 2 rad/s.

Polarized sunglasses decrease glare on a sunny day because they
A. block a portion of light
B. refract light
C. completely absorb light
D. have a special colour
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Polarized sunglasses have polarizing filters that block the component of reflected (glare) light, thereby reducing glare.

In case of a forced vibration, the resonance curve becomes very sharp when the:
A. applied periodic force is small
B. quality factor is small
C. restoring force is small
D. damping force is small
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
A small damping force (low damping) leads to a high quality factor and a sharp resonance peak.

Four simple harmonic vibrations at right angles to each other on a particle. The particle will describe a
A. straight line
B. figure of eight
C. circle
D. ellipse
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
When equal-amplitude SHMs of same frequency are in quadrature (phase differences producing circular motion) their resultant is a circle.
655
In case of stationary waves every particle of the medium has fixed
A. amplitude
B. phase
C. displacement
D. velocity
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
In standing (stationary) waves each particle oscillates with a fixed amplitude pattern (nodes and antinodes), so amplitude distribution is fixed.
656
The angular frequency of a body is 1570.8 Hz. Its period will be
A. 0.04 s
B. 0.004 s
C. 0.4 s
D. 0.0004 s
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
ω = 1570.8 = 2πf so f = ω/(2π) = 250 Hz, hence T = 1/f = 0.004 s.
657
A simple pendulum is suspended from the roof of a trolley which moves in a horizontal direction with an acceleration a. Then the time period T is given by T = 2π√(L/g') where g' is equal to
A. g - a
B. √(g^2 + a^2)
C. g
D. g + a
Answer & Solution
Discuss

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
In a horizontally accelerating frame the effective gravity is the vector sum of g and a, so g' = √(g^2 + a^2), which determines the period.
658
Resonance occurs in a system with no damping when the frequency of the driving force is ______ the usual frequency of the system.
A. Unrelated
B. Similar
C. Dissimilar
D. Divergent
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Resonance occurs when the driving frequency matches (is similar to) the natural frequency of the undamped system.
659
Tuning a radio set is an example of
A. damping
B. mechanical resonance
C. musical resonance
D. electrical resonance
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Tuning a radio involves selecting the electrical circuit resonance at a particular frequency, so it is electrical resonance.

Correct Option
Explanation
Superposition affects amplitude but does not change the propagation speed of the constituent travelling waves.
