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

The human ear can hear sound in frequency range
A. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
B. 0-20 Hz
C. 20 kHz - 200 kHz
D. Above 200 kHz
Answer: Option A
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
If a hollow metal sphere is positively charged, the electric field strictly inside the sphere is:
A. Negative and uniform
B. Depends on the radius
C. Zero
D. Positive and uniform

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
According to Gauss's Law in electrostatics, all excess charge on a conducting body resides entirely on its outer surface. Since there is no net charge enclosed within the hollow interior, the electric flux and consequently the electric field everywhere inside the hollow conducting sphere is exactly zero.

Question #2
Carnot efficiency η = 1 - T₂/T₁. If T₁=600K, T₂=300K, η is:
A. 100%
B. 25%
C. 75%
D. 50%

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
η = 1 - 300/600 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50%. Maximum possible efficiency for given temperatures. Memory aid: 'η_Carnot = 1 - T_cold/T_hot; always < 100%'. Thermodynamics calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
The efficiency of a machine is defined as:
A. Work output / Work input
B. Both (a) and (c)
C. Power output / Power input
D. Work input / Work output

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Efficiency η = useful work output / total work input = useful power output / total power input, since power = work/time. Both definitions are equivalent for steady operation. Efficiency is always < 1 (or
