Ultrasound frequencies are typically above MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Ultrasound frequencies are typically above
A. 20000 Hz
B. 200 Hz
C. 2000 Hz
D. 20 Hz
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Human hearing range is about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Sound above 20 kHz is ultrasound. Infrasound is below 20 Hz. Ultrasound used in medical imaging (sonography), cleaning, SONAR.

Question #3
In a potentiometer, the sensitivity can be increased by:
A. Decreasing the length of the wire
B. Using a thicker wire
C. Increasing the length of the wire
D. Increasing the current in the primary circuit

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Potentiometer sensitivity (ability to detect small EMF changes) increases with longer wire because potential gradient (V/cm) decreases, allowing finer measurement of balancing length. Sensitivity ∝ length of wire. Decreasing length (B) reduces sensitivity; increasing current (C) increases potential gradient, reducing sensitivity; thicker wire (D) reduces resistance but doesn't directly affect sensitivity if current adjusted. Memory tip: 'Longer potentiometer wire ⇒ smaller potential gradient ⇒ higher sensitivity'. This experimental physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always link sensitivity to potential gradient: smaller gradient allows detection of smaller voltage differences.
