Frequency of sound wave determines: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Frequency of sound wave determines:
A. Pitch
B. Loudness
C. Speed
D. Timbre
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Frequency → pitch perception: higher frequency = higher pitch. Loudness depends on amplitude; timbre on waveform; speed on medium properties. Memory aid: 'Frequency = pitch; Amplitude = loudness'. Basic sound property question frequently tested to verify perceptual attribute associations in competitive exams.

Question #1
The buoyant force on a body immersed in a fluid depends on
A. Volume of body
B. Both B and C
C. Acceleration due to gravity
D. Density of body

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid = (volume of body submerged) × density_fluid × g. Depends on volume displaced and g. Not density of body.

Question #2
Transformer turns ratio N_p:N_s = 1:5. If V_p = 100V, V_s is:
A. 500V
B. 100V
C. 20V
D. 2500V

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p ⇒ V_s = 100×(5/1) = 500V. Step-up transformer increases voltage. Memory aid: 'Turns ratio = voltage ratio; current ratio inverse'. Direct transformer formula application frequently tested in competitive exams with ratio calculations.

Question #3
A lactometer operates on the principle of:
A. Archimedes' Principle
B. Bernoulli's Theorem
C. Pascal's Law
D. Newton's Law of Viscosity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A lactometer is a specific type of hydrometer used to test the purity of milk by measuring its relative density. All hydrometers, including lactometers, work on Archimedes' Principle of buoyancy. They float at a depth that depends directly on the density of the liquid; they sink deeper in less dense liquids (like milk heavily diluted with water).
