Question #1 Report Error
When a source of sound moves towards a stationary observer, the apparent frequency:
A. Remains same
B. Increases
C. Becomes zero
D. Decreases

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
This is the Doppler effect: when source moves toward observer, wavefronts compress, decreasing wavelength, thus increasing apparent frequency (f' = f·v/(v - v_s), where v is sound speed, v_s source speed). Conversely, receding source decreases frequency. This applies to all waves (light, sound). Memory aid: 'Approaching = higher pitch (frequency); Receding = lower pitch'. Competitive exams often test qualitative understanding before formula application. Always identify motion direction relative to observer for sign conventions in numerical problems.

Question #3 Report Error
Projectile horizontal range maximum at angle:
A. 45°
B. 90°
C. 60°
D. 30°

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g. sin(2θ) maximum (=1) when 2θ=90° ⇒ θ=45°. Standard result for level ground projection. Memory aid: 'Max range at 45°; max height at 90°'. Projectile motion fact frequently tested in competitive exams.
