Question : 1

Two pulses travel in mutually opposite directions in a string with a speed of 2.5 cm/s as shown in the figure. Initially the pulses are 10 cm apart. What will be the state of the string after two seconds

a)

physics sound mcq question answer 8 option c

b)

physics sound mcq question answer 8 option a

c)

physics sound mcq question answer 8 option d

d)

physics sound mcq question answer 8 option d

Answer: (a)

After 2 second, each wave travels a distance = 2.5 × 2 = 5 m and

So the shape in figure (a) is the correct one.

Question : 2

The surface of a lake is frozen in severe winter, but the water at its bottom is still liquid. What is the reason ?

a) The density of water is maximum at 4°C.

b) Since the surface of the lake is at the same temperature as the air, no heat is lost.

c) Ice is a bad conductor of heat.

d) None

Answer: (c)

When the temperature starts reducing in winter, lake water cools up to 4 degrees centigrade by convection as density increases with a reduction in temp.

On further cooling, due to anomalous expansion of water, density reduces & cold water remains at the top.

Then top layer freezes. Ice being a bad conductor of heat, lake water below ice remains at 4 degrees.

Question : 3

Two astronauts cannot hear each other on the Moon’s surface, because

a) No atmosphere on the Moon

b) They wear special space suits on the Moon

c) Their ears have stopped working on the Moon

d) The sound travels much more slowly on Moon

Answer: (a)

b) Stark effect

c) Doppler effect

d) Raman effect

Answer: (c)

Question : 5

Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists.

List I List II
A. Sound wave 1. Transverse
B. Lightwave 2. Longitudinal
C. The speed of sound in a perfectly rigid rod 3. zero
D. The speed of sound in a vacuum 4. Infinite
Choose the correct option from the codes given below :

a) A – 4, B – 1, C – 2, D – 3

b) A – 2, B – 1, C – 4, D – 3

c) A – 2, B – 3, C – 4, D – 1

d) A – 4, B – 3, C – 2, D – 1

Answer: (b)

Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, because sound waves are mechanical waves.
