The pitch of a sound becomes higher if MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The pitch of a sound becomes higher if
A. Speed decreases
B. Frequency increases
C. Wavelength increases
D. Amplitude increases
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Higher frequency → higher pitch. Amplitude increases loudness. Wavelength inversely proportional to frequency (v constant). So increasing frequency increases pitch.

Question #1 Report Error
A ball thrown upward returns to thrower after 6 s. Maximum height reached (g=10 m/s²) is
A. 30 m
B. 45 m
C. 180 m
D. 90 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total time of flight T = 2u/g => u = gT/2 = 10×6/2 = 30 m/s. Max height H = u²/(2g) = 900/20 = 45 m. Alternatively, time to max height = 3 s, H = ½g t² = ½×10×9 = 45 m.

B. Violet
C. Blue
D. Red

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Visible spectrum: red ~700 nm, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet ~400 nm. Red has longest wavelength, lowest frequency. Violet shortest wavelength, highest frequency. Remember VIBGYOR.
