The following question based on light, heat, thermodynamics, wave motion, sound, optics & oscillations topic of general science mcq
- Bells are made of metal and not of wood because the sound is not conducted by metals but is radiated.
- The rate of transfer of energy in a wave depends directly on the square of the wave amplitude and square of the wave frequency.
(a) 1 and 2 both
(b) 1 only
(c) 2 only
(d) None
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (c)
Metal is a good conductor of sound because it is solid and hence it has atoms are very near, this causes more vibration required for conducting sound.

Question : 1
The simple harmonic motion of a particle is given by y = 3 sinω + 4 cosω. Which one of the following is the amplitude of this motion?
a) 5
b) 1
c) 7
d) 12
Answer »Answer: (a)
Question : 2
Material A has a critical angle $i_A$, and material B has a critical angle $i_B$ ($i_B > i_A$). Then which of the following is true?
- Light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from B to A
- Light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from A to B
- Critical angle for total internal reflection is $i_B – i_A$
- Critical angle between A and B is $sin^{-1}({sini_A}/{sini_B})$
a) 2 and 3
b) 1 and 3
c) 1 and 4
d) 2 and 4
Answer »Answer: (d)
iB > iA or sin-1 $(1/{µ_B})$ > sin-1 $(1/{µ_A})$ or µA > µB
Hence medium A is denser and B is rarer.
Total internal Reflection: When the object is placed in an optically denser medium. and if the incident angle is greater than the critical angle then the ray of light gets reflected back to the originating medium.
For critical angle (α) from medium A to B, ${_Bµ_A}$
${_Bµ_A}$ = $1/{sin α}$ or sin α = $1/{_Bµ_A}$ = ${µ_B}/{µ_A}$
⇒ sin α = $1/{sin i_B}$ x ${sin i_A}/1$
⇒ α = sin-1 $[{sin i_A}/{sin i_B}]$
Question : 3
What changes will the volume of water show if the temperature is lowered from 9ºC to 3ºC?
a) The volume will first increase and then decrease
b) The volume will first decrease and then increase
c) The volume will not change
d) Water will freeze
Answer »Answer: (b)
Question : 4
A cut diamond shines brilliantly due to
a) Its molecular structure
b) Total internal reflection
c) Some inherent property
d) Absorption of light
Answer »Answer: (b)
Question : 5
If a liquid is heated in condition of weightlessness, the heat is transmitted through
a) radiation
b) conduction
c) convection
d) None, because the liquid cannot be heated in weightlessness
Answer »Answer: (b)
Convection is not possible in weightlessness. So the liquid will be heated through conduction.
Question : 6
For the construction of a thermometer, one of the essential requirements is a thermometric substance which
a) has a property that varies with temperature
b) has property that varies linearly with temperature
c) remains liquid over the entire range of temperatures to be measured
d) obey Boyle’s law
Answer »Answer: (a)
The temperature is measured by the value of the thermodynamic property of a substance.
i.e., the property which varies linearly with the temperature.
