811
One complete round trip of the body in motion is called
A. Time period
B. Frequency
C. Displacement
D. Vibration
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
A full back-and-forth motion is called a vibration; time period is the time to complete one vibration.
812
The acceleration of a 0.2 kg bob attached to a 0.9 m string at a displacement of 0.5 m from the mean position is
A. -1.1 m s^-2
B. -7.9 m s^-2
C. -3.2 m s^-2
D. -5.4 m s^-2
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
For small angles, a = -(g/L)×x = -9.8×(0.5/0.9) ≈ -5.44 m/s^2.

75. In a frequency modulated wave
A. frequency varies with time
B. amplitude and frequency both are constant
C. amplitude and frequency both vary with time
D. amplitude varies with time
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
In frequency modulation (FM) the instantaneous frequency varies with the modulating signal while the amplitude remains constant.
814
A 4 m long string fixed at its ends resonate in 4 segments. The wavelength of the wave is:
A. 0.5 m
B. 0.25 m
C. 2 m
D. 4 m
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
For n = 4 segments, λ = 2L/n = 2×4 m / 4 = 2 m.
815
Which of the following represents an elastic wave?
A. Light waves
B. Radiowaves
C. Sound waves
D. X-rays
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Elastic waves require a material medium; sound waves are mechanical (elastic) waves propagating through a medium.
816
It is possible to distinguish between transverse & longitudinal waves by studying the property of:
A. Polarization
B. Diffraction
C. Any of them
D. Interference
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Only transverse waves can exhibit polarization while longitudinal waves cannot, so polarization distinguishes them.
817
If λ = 400 nm, its value in angstrom unit (1 Å = 10^-10 m) is given as:
A. 4 × 10^-17
B. 4 × 10^17
C. 4 × 10^3
D. 4 × 10^-3
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
400 nm = 4000 Å, which is 4 × 10^3 angstroms.
818
Which of the following medium can transmit both transverse and longitudinal waves?
A. Liquid
B. Plasma
C. Gas
D. Solid
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Solids can support both transverse (shear) and longitudinal waves due to their rigidity, while fluids mainly support longitudinal waves.
819
Which one of the following media can transmit both transverse and longitudinal waves:
A. Solid
B. Gas
C. Liquid
D. Plasma
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Solids can support both transverse and longitudinal waves, unlike fluids which do not support transverse shear waves.
820
Which of the following devices can be used to produce both transverse and longitudinal waves?
A. A string
B. A helical spring
C. A tuning fork
D. A ripple tank
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
A helical spring can support longitudinal pulses and, when displaced transversely, can also show transverse oscillations, so it can produce both types.
