The frequency of a tuning fork is 512 Hz. It produces resonance in a closed organ pipe of length 16 cm (speed of sound 340 m/s). The pipe resonates in MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The frequency of a tuning fork is 512 Hz. It produces resonance in a closed organ pipe of length 16 cm (speed of sound 340 m/s). The pipe resonates in
A. First overtone
B. Second overtone
C. End correction needed
D. Fundamental mode
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
For closed pipe, fundamental f = v/(4L) = 340/(4×0.16) = 340/0.64 ≈ 531 Hz, close to 512 Hz, slight difference due to end correction. So fundamental. Approx match, SSC type.

Question #1
Work done by a force is maximum when the angle between force and displacement is
A. 0°
B. 30°
C. 60°
D. 90°

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Work W = F·d = Fd cosθ. cos0° = 1 gives maximum work. At 90°, cos90° = 0, work zero. For given magnitudes, maximum when force parallel to displacement. This is basic definition.

Question #2
The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to relative motion between source and observer is called
A. Doppler effect
B. Diffraction
C. Resonance
D. Echo

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Doppler effect: observed frequency higher when approaching, lower when receding. Applications: radar speed guns, astronomical redshift/blueshift, echocardiography. Echo is reflection. Resonance is vibration matching. Diffraction is bending.

A. 50 N
B. 10 N
C. 0.5 N
D. 2 N

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
F_medium = F_vacuum / K = 10/5 = 2 N.
