SONAR uses waves of frequency: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

SONAR uses waves of frequency:
A. < 20 Hz
B. Any frequency
C. > 20 kHz
D. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
Answer: Option C
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 #2
Assertion: Pressure is scalar. Reason: Pressure acts equally in all directions at a point.
A. Both true, R doesn't explain A
B. A true, R false
C. A false, R true
D. Both true, R explains A

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Pressure is scalar (no direction), though force is vector. Reason: Pascal's law - fluid pressure transmits equally in all directions, confirming scalar nature. Memory aid: 'Pressure = force/area (scalar division); isotropic in fluids'. Assertion-reason testing fluid mechanics fundamentals, common in competitive exams.

Question #3
Which of the following has highest specific heat capacity?
A. Copper
B. Aluminium
C. Water
D. Iron

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Water has exceptionally high specific heat (4200 J/kg°C) due to hydrogen bonding. Used as coolant. Iron ~450, copper ~385, aluminium ~900. High specific heat moderates climate.
