Wave speed v = 300 m/s, frequency f = 150 Hz. Wavelength λ is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Wave speed v = 300 m/s, frequency f = 150 Hz. Wavelength λ is:
A. 45000 m
B. 2 m
C. 0.5 m
D. 150 m
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
v = fλ ⇒ λ = v/f = 300/150 = 2 m. Universal wave equation application. Memory tip: 'λ = v/f; units: m/s ÷ Hz = m'. Basic wave property calculation frequently tested in competitive exams to verify formula application.

Question #2
Assertion: Pressure is scalar. Reason: Pressure acts equally in all directions at a point.
A. A true, R false
B. Both true, R doesn't explain A
C. Both true, R explains A
D. A false, R true

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Pressure is scalar (no direction), though force is vector. Reason: Pascal's law - fluid pressure transmits equally in all directions, confirming scalar nature. Memory aid: 'Pressure = force/area (scalar division); isotropic in fluids'. Assertion-reason testing fluid mechanics fundamentals, common in competitive exams.
