A bird makes a high-pitched sound, whereas a lion makes a low-pitched roar. Which of the following statements is true?

  1. The sound produced by a bird has larger amplitude than the sound produced by a lion.

  2. The sound produced by a bird has higher frequency than the sound produced by a lion.

  3. The sounds produced by a bird and a lion have the same frequency.

  4. The sounds produced by a bird and a lion have the same amplitude.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The faster the vibration of the source, the higher the frequency and the higher the pitch. Thus, the sound produced by a bird has higher frequency than the sound produced by a lion.

In Doppler effect, when the sound moves towards the receiver at rest, the frequency of sound heard will

  1. increase

  2. decrease

  3. remain the same

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In Doppler effect, when the sound moves towards the receiver at rest, the frequency of sound heard will increase.

It is said that there is a vacuum in a vessel when

  1. air is completely filled in the vessel

  2. air is partially removed from the vessel

  3. air is completely removed from the vessel

  4. water is completely removed from the vessel


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When air is completely removed from a vessel, it is said that there is vacuum in the vessel.

Which health problem is not caused due to noise pollution?

  1. Lack of sleep

  2. Hypertension

  3. Anxiety

  4. Low blood pressure


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 Low blood pressure is not caused due to noise pollution.

How can tree plantation reduce noise pollution in residential areas?

  1. Oxygen released by trees absorbs sound waves.

  2. Trees help in creating vacuum so that sound can’t travel.

  3. Trees cut down the sound reaching the residents by absorbing it.

  4. Leaves of trees reflect sound waves and reduce noise.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Tree plantation can reduce noise pollution in residential areas as trees cut down the sound reaching the residents by absorbing it.

Which of the following measures is not taken to reduce noise pollution in residential areas?

  1. Plantation of trees

  2. No noise producing industries

  3. Maximum use of automobile horns

  4. Running television and music system at low volume


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Maximum use of automobile horns is not taken as a measure to reduce noise pollution in residential areas.

What is the frequency range of hearing in dogs?

  1. 20–10,000 Hz

  2. 20–20,000 Hz

  3. 15-50,000 Hz

  4. 60–65,000 Hz


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Option (3) is correct.

Which principle is employed by the traffic police to measure the speed of the vehicles?

  1. Resonance

  2. Doppler effect

  3. Beats

  4. Treble


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Doppler effect is the method employed by the traffic police to measure the speed of the vehicles.

A group of sound waves of low pitch is called as

  1. resonance

  2. beats

  3. bass

  4. treble


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A group of sound waves of low pitch is called as bass.

Sounds having different frequencies are listed below. Which of the following sounds will be inaudible?

  1. 10 kHz

  2. 18,000 Hz

  3. 15 Hz

  4. 25 Hz


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

For a human ear, the range of audible frequency is from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Sounds of frequencies less than 20 Hz and higher than 20 kHz (i.e. 20,000 Hz) are inaudible to the human ear.

The propagation of wave transfers

  1. energy only

  2. matter only

  3. mass at times and energy at other times

  4. both energy and mass simultaneously


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The propagation of wave transfers energy only.

In which of the following applications can ultrasonic waves not be used?

  1. Sonar

  2. Echocardiography

  3. Detection of flaws in steel beams

  4. Radar


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Radar uses radiowaves, not sound waves. Hence, ultrasound has no role to play in a radar.

Which of the following is true about the speed of sound?

  1. It depends on the source from which it is generated.

  2. It remains constant under all conditions.

  3. It depends on the type of wave generated.

  4. It depends on the properties of medium through which it is propagating.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The speed of sound depends on the properties of the medium through which it travels.

Which of the following types of waves are emitted by bats to locate their food?

  1. Infrasonic waves

  2. Ultrasonic waves

  3. Ultraviolet waves

  4. Reverberation waves


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bats search their prey and fly in the night by emitting and detecting reflections of ultrasonic waves.

Which of the following is not a use of ultrasound?

  1. Breaking small stones in kidneys

  2. Locating underwater objects

  3. Cleaning odd-shaped parts and electronic components

  4. Joining cracks and flaws in metal blocks


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ultrasound can detect cracks and flaws in metal blocks, but cannot join them.
