The time period of a simple pendulum depends on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Question Report Error

The time period of a simple pendulum depends on

A. Amplitude of swing

B. Mass of bob

C. Nature of bob material

D. Length of pendulum and g

Answer: Option D

Solution (By JKExamLibrary)

T = 2π√(L/g). For small amplitudes, period independent of amplitude and mass. Depends only on effective length and acceleration due to gravity. Used in pendulum clocks.

Heat transfer in vacuum occurs by

A. Radiation

B. Both conduction and convection

C. Convection

D. Conduction

View Answer & Solution Discuss

Correct Answer: Option A

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect?

A. Fusion of nuclei

B. Echo of sound

C. Bending of light around corners

D. Change in frequency of siren as ambulance passes

View Answer & Solution Discuss

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Doppler effect: apparent change in frequency due to relative motion. Siren pitch changes as it approaches/recedes. Echo is reflection. Bending is diffraction. Fusion is nuclear reaction.
