The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called
A. Wavelength
B. Frequency
C. Amplitude
D. Time period
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time period T = 2π√(L/g) for simple pendulum. Frequency = 1/T. Amplitude is max displacement. Wavelength for waves.

Question #1
SONAR is based on the principle of:
A. Refraction of sound waves
B. Diffraction of sound waves
C. Polarization of sound waves
D. Reflection of sound waves

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) relies on the reflection of ultrasonic waves. A transmitter sends out sound waves, which travel through water, strike an object (like a submarine or the seabed), and reflect back as an echo to a receiver. By measuring the time taken for the echo to return, the distance can be calculated.

Question #2
A capillary tube is dipped in water and the water rises to a height 'h'. If the experiment is performed in a freely falling elevator, the water column in the tube will:
A. Not rise at all
B. Rise to the full length of the capillary tube
C. Rise to height h
D. Rise to height 2h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The height of capillary rise is given by Jurin's law: h = 2Tcos(theta) / (rrhog). In a freely falling elevator, the effective acceleration due to gravity (g') is zero (weightlessness). As effective g approaches zero, the theoretical height h approaches infinity. In reality, the water will rise to the very top of the tube, regardless of its length, but will not overflow.

Question #3
Assertion (A): A convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror in vehicles. Reason (R): A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image, giving a wider field of view.
A. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. A is false but R is true.
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Convex mirrors bulge outwards, which inherently provides a much wider field of view compared to plane mirrors. Regardless of the object's position, a convex mirror reliably produces virtual, erect, and diminished (smaller) images. This allows a driver to see a large area of the road behind them in a small mirror, making R the exact explanation for A.
