SONAR uses waves of frequency: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

SONAR uses waves of frequency:
A. 20 Hz - 20 kHz
B. Any frequency
C. < 20 Hz
D. > 20 kHz
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
SONAR uses ultrasonic waves (>20 kHz) for better directionality, resolution, and reduced absorption in water. Audible sound (20Hz-20kHz) diffracts more; infrasonic (

C. V. Raman is known for his work on:
A. Theory of relativity
B. Electromagnetic induction
C. Photoelectric effect
D. Raman effect (light scattering)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Sir C. V. Raman discovered the Raman effect in 1928: inelastic scattering of photons by molecules, changing wavelength, providing information about molecular structure. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. Photoelectric effect: Einstein; relativity: Einstein; electromagnetic induction: Faraday. Memory tip: 'Raman = scattering of light'. This scientist-discovery question tests knowledge of Indian contributions to physics, commonly featured in competitive exams. Always link Nobel laureates to their specific awarded work.

The prefix 'femto' in SI units represents a factor of:
A. 10⁻¹⁵
B. 10⁻¹²
C. 10⁻¹⁸
D. 10⁻⁹

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The SI prefix 'femto' denotes a factor of 10⁻¹⁵. This is standardized by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Common prefixes: pico (10⁻¹²), femto (10⁻¹⁵), atto (10⁻¹⁸), nano (10⁻⁹). Femtometer (10⁻¹⁵ m) is used in nuclear physics to measure atomic nuclei sizes. Exam tip: Remember the sequence: pico, femto, atto for decreasing scales. This question tests fundamental knowledge of SI prefixes essential for unit conversions in competitive examinations.
