Which of the following is not a transverse wave?
A. Light wave
B. Sound wave in air
C. Wave on a string
D. Radio wave

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion ice = 336 kJ/kg. Heat to melt 3 kg ice at 0°C:
A. 1008 kJ
B. 112 kJ
C. 672 kJ
D. 336 kJ

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Q = mL = 3×336 = 1008 kJ. Direct latent heat formula application. Memory tip: 'Phase change: Q = mL; no temperature change'. Calorimetry calculation frequently tested in competitive exams.

When a source of sound moves faster than the speed of sound itself in that medium, it creates a conical wave front known as a:
A. Beat frequency
B. Transverse wave
C. Shock wave
D. Standing wave

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When an object (like a jet plane) exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1), it overtakes the sound waves it produces. These sound waves pile up behind the object, superimposing constructively to form an intense, cone-shaped pressure wave called a shock wave. When this high-pressure cone sweeps over an observer on the ground, they hear a loud 'sonic boom'.
