A wave has frequency 50 Hz and wavelength 0.6 m. Its speed is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A wave has frequency 50 Hz and wavelength 0.6 m. Its speed is
A. 0.012 m/s
B. 83.3 m/s
C. 300 m/s
D. 30 m/s
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Wave speed v = fλ = 50 × 0.6 = 30 m/s. Basic wave equation. Ensure consistent units: frequency Hz (s⁻¹), wavelength m. Speed of sound 340 m/s in air, this is slower.

Question #1
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are preferred over incandescent bulbs primarily because:
A. They consume more power but last longer.
B. They are highly energy-efficient and convert most energy into light.
C. They emit a wider spectrum of light.
D. They rely on a heated filament.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Incandescent bulbs work by heating a tungsten filament until it glows, converting roughly 90% of electrical energy into wasted heat and only 10% into light. LEDs are solid-state semiconductors that emit light through electroluminescence. They convert almost all their electrical energy directly into light, making them significantly more efficient and cooler.

Question #2
A convex mirror is used as a rear-view mirror because it
A. Gives wider field of view
B. Magnifies image
C. Gives real image
D. Inverts image

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Convex mirror diverges rays, gives erect, diminished, virtual image with wider field. Concave would magnify but narrow field. Plane gives normal view. Safety advantage.
