Question #1
The phenomenon of echo is based on which property of sound?
A. Refraction
B. Interference
C. Diffraction
D. Reflection

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Echo is the reflection of sound waves from a rigid surface, returning to the listener after a time delay. For distinct echo, minimum distance to reflector is about 17 m (so time delay > 0.1 s, persistence of hearing). Refraction bends sound in media with varying density; interference combines waves; diffraction bends around obstacles. Memory tip: 'Echo = sound reflection like light in mirror'. This application-based question links wave properties to daily-life phenomena, frequently tested in competitive exams to assess conceptual clarity beyond definitions. Always distinguish echo from reverberation (multiple reflections).

Question #3
The law of conservation of energy states that
A. Energy can be destroyed but not created
B. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed
C. Total energy always increases
D. Energy can be created but not destroyed

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
First law of thermodynamics: Energy is conserved in an isolated system. It changes forms (kinetic to potential etc.) but total constant. Perpetual motion machine impossible.
