SONAR uses waves of frequency: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

SONAR uses waves of frequency:
A. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
B. Any frequency
C. < 20 Hz
D. > 20 kHz
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
SONAR uses ultrasonic waves (>20 kHz) for better directionality, resolution, and reduced absorption in water. Audible sound (20Hz-20kHz) diffracts more; infrasonic (

Question #1
A vernier caliper has 20 divisions on vernier scale matching 19 main scale divisions. If main scale division is 1 mm, least count is:
A. 0.5 mm
B. 0.05 mm
C. 0.1 mm
D. 0.01 mm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD. 20 VSD = 19 MSD ⇒ 1 VSD = 19/20 mm = 0.95 mm. LC = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 mm. Formula: LC = MSD/n where n = vernier divisions. Memory tip: LC = smallest measurable difference = main scale value/vernier divisions. Essential for practical physics questions in competitive exams.

Question #3
The escape velocity from a planet depends on:
A. Temperature of the planet
B. Radius of the planet only
C. Mass of the escaping body
D. Both mass and radius of the planet

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Escape velocity v_e = √(2GM/R), where M is planet mass, R its radius. Thus v_e depends on both M and R. It is independent of the escaping body's mass (as gravitational and inertial mass cancel). Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); larger M or smaller R ⇒ higher escape velocity'. This gravitation formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that escape velocity is a property of the planet, not the projectile. This problem assesses understanding of gravitational potential energy concepts.
