The human ear can hear sound in frequency range MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The human ear can hear sound in frequency range
A. Above 200 kHz
B. 20 kHz - 200 kHz
C. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
D. 0-20 Hz
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Audible range: 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Below 20 Hz infrasound, above ultrasound. This range decreases with age. Dogs can hear higher frequencies (ultrasonic whistles).

Question #1
A magnetic field line indicates
A. Direction of force on a north pole
B. Direction of electric field
C. Path of charged particle
D. Direction of current

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Magnetic field lines represent direction of force on an isolated north pole. They emerge from north and enter south. They never cross. Tangent gives field direction. Compass aligns along these lines.

Question #2
The speed of sound in air at 0°C is approximately
A. 300 m/s
B. 340 m/s
C. 350 m/s
D. 330 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
At 0°C, speed ~ 331 m/s. At room temperature (20°C) ~ 343 m/s, often taken as 340. Increases with temperature v ∝ √T. For many problems 340 is used, but at 0°C it's 331. So option A.

Question #3
A brass rod of length 1 m at 0°C expands by 0.0019 m when heated to 100°C. Its linear expansion coefficient is
A. 1.9 × 10⁻⁴ /°C
B. 1.9 × 10⁻⁶ /°C
C. 1.9 × 10⁻⁵ /°C
D. 1.9 × 10⁻³ /°C

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT => α = ΔL/(L₀ ΔT) = 0.0019/(1×100) = 1.9×10⁻⁵ /°C. Typical for brass. Unit is per °C. Always check ΔL/L per °C.
