The loudness of sound depends on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The loudness of sound depends on
A. Amplitude
B. Speed
C. Frequency
D. Wavelength
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Loudness correlates with intensity, which is proportional to square of amplitude. Frequency determines pitch. Larger amplitude → louder sound. Measured in decibels.

Question #1
What is the magnetic dipole moment of an electron revolving in a circular orbit of radius 'r' with a uniform speed 'v'?
A. evr
B. 2evr
C. evr / 2
D. e / (vr)

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Magnetic dipole moment M = Current(I) * Area(A). Current is charge/time: I = e / T. Time period T = 2pir / v. So I = ev / (2pir). The area of the circular orbit is A = pir^2. Therefore, M = [ev / (2pir)] * [pir^2] = evr / 2. This is a standard derivation in modern physics.

Question #3
A positively charged particle is projected precisely parallel to a uniform magnetic field. The trajectory of the particle will be a:
A. Straight line
B. Parabola
C. Circle
D. Helix

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The magnetic Lorentz force on a moving charge is F = q(v x B) = qvBsin(theta). If the particle moves completely parallel to the magnetic field, the angle theta is 0 degrees. Since sin(0) = 0, the magnetic force is absolutely zero. Experiencing no transverse force, the particle continues moving in a perfect straight line.
