The loudness of sound depends on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The loudness of sound depends on
A. Wavelength
B. Frequency
C. Amplitude
D. Speed
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Loudness correlates with intensity, which is proportional to square of amplitude. Frequency determines pitch. Larger amplitude → louder sound. Measured in decibels.

Question #1
The time period of a mass-spring system depends on
A. Spring constant only
B. Mass only
C. Both mass and spring constant
D. Gravity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
T = 2π√(m/k). Depends on mass and stiffness.

Question #2
Torque dimensions same as:
A. Momentum
B. Force
C. Power
D. Work

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Torque τ = r×F: [L][MLT⁻²] = [ML²T⁻²]. Work W = F·d: same dimensions. Physically distinct: torque (vector, rotational), work (scalar, energy). Memory tip: 'Torque and work: same [ML²T⁻²]; different physical meaning'. Dimensional analysis frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
Spring-mass period in orbiting satellite:
A. Same as Earth
B. Depends on orbit
C. Zero
D. Infinite

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
T = 2π√(m/k): depends on mass and spring constant only, not gravity. Weightlessness doesn't affect spring force. Memory aid: 'Spring period: independent of g; pendulum period: depends on g'. Oscillations concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
