Ultrasound frequencies are typically above MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Ultrasound frequencies are typically above
A. 20 Hz
B. 20000 Hz
C. 2000 Hz
D. 200 Hz
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Human hearing range is about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Sound above 20 kHz is ultrasound. Infrasound is below 20 Hz. Ultrasound used in medical imaging (sonography), cleaning, SONAR.

Question #1 Report Error
The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its:
A. Frequency
B. Amplitude
C. Speed
D. Wavelength

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Photon energy E = hν, where h is Planck's constant, ν is frequency. Thus E ∝ ν. Since c = νλ, E = hc/λ, so E ∝ 1/λ (inversely proportional to wavelength). Amplitude relates to intensity (number of photons), not individual photon energy. Speed is constant (c) in vacuum. Memory aid: 'Higher frequency (shorter wavelength) photons have more energy (e.g., gamma > radio)'. This quantum physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always use E = hν for photon energy calculations; avoid confusing wave amplitude with photon energy.

Question #2 Report Error
A motor pump lifts 200 kg of water per minute to a height of 15 m. Power (g=10) is
A. 2000 W
B. 1000 W
C. 3000 W
D. 500 W

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Work per minute = mgh = 200×10×15 = 30000 J. Power = 30000/60 = 500 W.

Question #3 Report Error
The efficiency of a machine is defined as:
A. Both (a) and (c)
B. Power output / Power input
C. Work input / Work output
D. Work output / Work input

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Efficiency η = useful work output / total work input = useful power output / total power input, since power = work/time. Both definitions are equivalent for steady operation. Efficiency is always < 1 (or
