The pitch of a sound depends on its MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The pitch of a sound depends on its
A. Wavelength
B. Amplitude
C. Speed
D. Frequency
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Pitch is subjective perception of frequency. Higher frequency higher pitch. Amplitude determines loudness. Speed and wavelength related by v = fλ, but pitch is frequency-based. Human ear 20 Hz-20 kHz.

Question #1
When a body is taken from equator to pole, its weight
A. Increases
B. Becomes zero
C. Remains same
D. Decreases

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
g is slightly higher at poles (9.83 m/s²) than equator (9.78 m/s²) due to Earth's rotation (centrifugal effect) and equatorial bulge. Weight = mg, so weight increases slightly. Mass constant.

Question #2
The device that protects electrical circuits from overload is
A. Switch
B. Fuse
C. Resistor
D. Capacitor

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Fuse melts and breaks circuit when current exceeds rating. MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) does same but resettable. Switch only turns on/off. Resistor limits current but doesn't break.

Question #3
The velocity of a body changes from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 s. Distance covered in this time is (assuming constant acceleration)
A. 16 m
B. 48 m
C. 24 m
D. 32 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
a = (10-2)/4 = 2 m/s². s = 2×4 + ½×2×16 = 8+16=24 m. Or average velocity 6 m/s ×4=24.
