Question #1 Report Error
The wavelength of ultrasonic waves is
A. Cannot be determined
B. Greater than audible sound
C. Less than audible sound
D. Same as audible sound

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Velocity v = fλ constant for given medium. Ultrasound has higher frequency (>20 kHz) than audible sound, so wavelength λ = v/f is smaller. Typical ultrasound in MHz range, λ in mm.

Question #2 Report Error
A metal rod of length L at temperature T₀ is heated to temperature T. If α is the coefficient of linear expansion, the new length is:
A. L(1 + αT₀)
B. L[1 + α(T - T₀)]
C. Lα(T - T₀)
D. L(1 + αT)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Linear expansion formula: ΔL = L₀αΔT, where ΔT = T - T₀. Thus new length L' = L₀ + ΔL = L₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]. Option A incorrectly uses absolute temperature T instead of temperature change. Option C gives only the change, not total length. Option D uses initial temperature incorrectly. Memory aid: 'Expansion depends on temperature change, not absolute value'. This standard formula application is common in thermal physics questions. Always identify initial length and temperature reference point to avoid sign errors.

Three 3Ω resistors in parallel: equivalent resistance is:
A.
B. 0.33Ω
C.
D.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
1/R_eq = 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 ⇒ R_eq = 1Ω. For n equal resistors in parallel: R_eq = R/n. Memory tip: 'Parallel: reciprocal sum; result < smallest resistor'. Basic circuit calculation frequently tested in competitive exams to verify parallel combination formula.
