Question #1 Report Error
A tuning fork produces 4 beats per second when sounded with a 256 Hz standard fork. When a little wax is attached to the tuning fork, the beat frequency drops to 2 beats per second. The original frequency of the tuning fork was:
A. 260 Hz
B. 258 Hz
C. 254 Hz
D. 252 Hz

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Beat frequency is the absolute difference between two frequencies. Given 4 beats with 256 Hz, the unknown fork is either 256+4=260 Hz or 256-4=252 Hz. Adding wax increases mass, which strictly lowers the frequency of a fork. If it was 252 Hz, lowering it would increase the gap from 256, increasing beats. If it was 260 Hz, lowering it brings it closer to 256, decreasing beats to 2. Thus, it was originally 260 Hz.

In the photoelectric effect, increasing the intensity of the incident light (while keeping frequency constant) will cause:
A. A decrease in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.
B. A change in the threshold frequency of the metal surface.
C. An increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons per second.
D. An increase in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the kinetic energy of emitted electrons depends exclusively on the frequency of the incident light and the metal's work function. Intensity represents the number of photons striking the surface per second. More photons mean more collisions with electrons, leading strictly to an increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons (photoelectric current), not their energy.

A typical LED converts electrical energy into light with efficiency around
A. 80-90%
B. 100%
C. 50-60%
D. 10%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
LEDs are highly efficient, converting ~80-90% of electrical energy into light, rest heat. Incandescent bulbs ~10% efficient. LED long life, low power. Blue LED Nobel prize 2014.
