A nucleus of mass number A and atomic number Z contains
A. Z protons and A neutrons
B. A-Z protons and Z neutrons
C. Z protons and A-Z neutrons
D. A protons and Z neutrons

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Mass number A = protons + neutrons. So neutrons = A - Z. Electrons = Z in neutral atom. Isotopes same Z, different N.

Which characteristic of a sound wave determines its pitch?
A. Wavelength
B. Velocity
C. Amplitude
D. Frequency

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The pitch of a sound is a subjective sensation that is determined primarily by the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency waves are perceived as high-pitched sounds (like a whistle), while lower frequency waves are perceived as low-pitched sounds (like a bass drum). Amplitude determines the loudness of the sound.
