Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect?
A. Fusion of nuclei
B. Change in frequency of siren as ambulance passes
C. Echo of sound
D. Bending of light around corners
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Doppler effect: apparent change in frequency due to relative motion. Siren pitch changes as it approaches/recedes. Echo is reflection. Bending is diffraction. Fusion is nuclear reaction.

Question #1
The prefix 'Peta' in the SI system represents which power of 10?
A. 10^18
B. 10^12
C. 10^9
D. 10^15

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In the SI system of prefixes, 'Peta' stands for 10^15. Other common large prefixes include Kilo (10^3), Mega (10^6), Giga (10^9), Tera (10^12), and Exa (10^18). It's crucial to memorize both positive and negative powers (like nano, pico, femto) for competitive exams.

Question #2
Which of the following is NOT a fundamental SI unit?
A. Ampere
B. Kelvin
C. Coulomb
D. Candela

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Coulomb is the SI unit of electric charge, but it is a derived unit (Ampere × second). The seven fundamental SI units are meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time), Kelvin (temperature), Ampere (electric current), candela (luminous intensity), and mole (amount of substance). Electric current is fundamental, making Ampere fundamental, not Coulomb.

Question #3
A train 150 m long running at 60 km/h crosses a man walking at 6 km/h in opposite direction. Time taken is
A. 9 s
B. 6 s
C. 12 s
D. 15 s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Relative speed = 60+6 = 66 km/h = 66×5/18 = 55/3 m/s. Time = distance / relative speed = 150 / (55/3) = 450/55 = 8.18 s ≈ 9 s. Actually 450/55=8.18, nearest 9 s. Option B.
