Question #1 Report Error
The frequency of a wave is 1 kHz. Its time period is
A. 0.01 s
B. 0.001 s
C. 1000 s
D. 1 s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
T = 1/f = 1/1000 = 0.001 s = 1 ms.

Question #2 Report Error
The root mean square speed of gas molecules is proportional to:
A. Square of temperature
B. Inverse of temperature
C. Square root of temperature
D. Temperature

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
From kinetic theory, rms speed v_rms = √(3RT/M), where R is gas constant, T absolute temperature, M molar mass. Thus v_rms ∝ √T. This shows molecular speed increases with temperature but not linearly. Memory aid: 'Kinetic energy ∝ T; KE = ½mv² ⇒ v ∝ √T'. This conceptual question tests kinetic theory understanding, frequently examined in thermodynamics sections of competitive exams. Always use absolute temperature (Kelvin) in gas law calculations; Celsius would give incorrect proportionality.
