Question #1
If the intensity of a sound is mathematically increased by a factor of 100, its loudness level in decibels (dB) increases strictly by:
A. 10 dB
B. 2 dB
C. 20 dB
D. 100 dB

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The loudness level in decibels is calculated as L = 10 * log10(I / I0). If intensity I becomes 100I, the new level L' = 10 * log10(100I / I0) = 10 * [log10(100) + log10(I / I0)] = 10 * [2 + L/10] = 20 + L. Therefore, the loudness explicitly increases by 20 dB.

Question #2
Which of the following is true for a geostationary satellite?
A. Its orbit is at any altitude
B. Its orbital period is 12 hours
C. It revolves opposite to Earth's rotation
D. It appears fixed relative to a point on Earth

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Geostationary satellite has orbital period equal to Earth's rotation (24 hours) and orbits in equatorial plane in same direction. It appears stationary from Earth's surface. Altitude about 36,000 km. Used for communication.

Question #3
An echo is heard after 2 seconds from a cliff. If speed of sound is 340 m/s, distance of cliff is
A. 510 m
B. 340 m
C. 170 m
D. 680 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Sound travels to cliff and back. Total distance = speed × time = 340 × 2 = 680 m. So distance to cliff = 680/2 = 340 m. Use formula d = (v × t)/2. Time for round trip. Minimum distance for echo 17 m (approx) for 0.1 s persistence.
