The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called
A. Amplitude
B. Time period
C. Wavelength
D. Frequency
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Time period T = 2π√(L/g) for simple pendulum. Frequency = 1/T. Amplitude is max displacement. Wavelength for waves.

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect?
A. Fusion of nuclei
B. Bending of light around corners
C. Echo of sound
D. Change in frequency of siren as ambulance passes

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.

The working principle of an electric generator is:
A. Heating effect of current
B. Chemical effect of current
C. Electromagnetic induction
D. Magnetic effect of current

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction: rotating a coil in magnetic field (or vice versa) induces EMF due to changing magnetic flux. This is Faraday's law application. Motors use the reverse principle (force on current-carrying conductor in field). Memory tip: 'Generator: motion ⇒ electricity (induction); Motor: electricity ⇒ motion (force)'. This application question tests understanding of device principles, common in competitive exams. Always distinguish generator (induction) from motor (Lorentz force) operation.
