Question #1
A flywheel rotates at 120 rpm. Angular velocity in rad/s is
A. 2π
B. 4π
C. π
D. 6π

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
ω = 2π × (rpm/60) = 2π × 120/60 = 4π rad/s.

Question #2
A wave has frequency 50 Hz and wavelength 2 m. Its speed is:
A. 200 m/s
B. 50 m/s
C. 25 m/s
D. 100 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Wave speed v = frequency (f) × wavelength (λ). Thus v = 50 Hz × 2 m = 100 m/s. This fundamental wave equation applies to all periodic waves (sound, light, water). Memory aid: 'v = fλ – the universal wave equation'. Competitive exams frequently test this direct calculation. Always ensure units: Hz = s⁻¹, so (s⁻¹)×m = m/s, correct for speed. This problem assesses basic wave property understanding, crucial for sound and light topics.
