The pitch of a sound depends on its MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The pitch of a sound depends on its
A. Amplitude
B. Wavelength
C. Speed
D. Frequency
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Pitch is subjective perception of frequency. Higher frequency higher pitch. Amplitude determines loudness. Speed and wavelength related by v = fλ, but pitch is frequency-based. Human ear 20 Hz-20 kHz.

Three 3Ω resistors in parallel: equivalent resistance is:
A.
B.
C. 0.33Ω
D.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
1/R_eq = 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1 ⇒ R_eq = 1Ω. For n equal resistors in parallel: R_eq = R/n. Memory tip: 'Parallel: reciprocal sum; result < smallest resistor'. Basic circuit calculation frequently tested in competitive exams to verify parallel combination formula.

Question #3 Report Error
The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336 kJ/kg. The heat required to melt 2 kg of ice at 0°C is:
A. 336 kJ
B. 672 kJ
C. 1344 kJ
D. 168 kJ

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Heat for phase change Q = m·L_f, where L_f is latent heat of fusion. Thus Q = 2 kg × 336 kJ/kg = 672 kJ. This direct application tests calorimetry fundamentals. Memory aid: 'Latent heat: Q = mL; no temperature change during phase transition'. Competitive exams frequently test such calculations with standard values. Always ensure units match (kg and kJ/kg here); convert if necessary. This problem assesses basic formula application skills essential for thermodynamics sections.
