Beats frequency = |f₁ - f₂|. For 256 Hz and 260 Hz, beats per second: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Beats frequency = |f₁ - f₂|. For 256 Hz and 260 Hz, beats per second:
A. 516
B. 258
C. 2
D. 4
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Beat frequency = |260 - 256| = 4 Hz ⇒ 4 beats/second. Interference of close frequencies causes amplitude modulation. Memory aid: 'Beats = frequency difference; used in tuning instruments'. Wave interference calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝:
A. 1/v²
B. v²
C. v
D. 1/v

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
p = mv ⇒ λ = h/(mv) ⇒ λ ∝ 1/v for constant mass. Higher velocity ⇒ shorter wavelength. Memory tip: 'λ = h/mv; faster particle ⇒ smaller wavelength'. Quantum mechanics relation frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.
