Wave speed v = 300 m/s, frequency f = 150 Hz. Wavelength λ is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Wave speed v = 300 m/s, frequency f = 150 Hz. Wavelength λ is:
A. 45000 m
B. 2 m
C. 0.5 m
D. 150 m
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
v = fλ ⇒ λ = v/f = 300/150 = 2 m. Universal wave equation application. Memory tip: 'λ = v/f; units: m/s ÷ Hz = m'. Basic wave property calculation frequently tested in competitive exams to verify formula application.

A lactometer operates on the principle of:
A. Pascal's Law
B. Archimedes' Principle
C. Newton's Law of Viscosity
D. Bernoulli's Theorem

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A lactometer is a specific type of hydrometer used to test the purity of milk by measuring its relative density. All hydrometers, including lactometers, work on Archimedes' Principle of buoyancy. They float at a depth that depends directly on the density of the liquid; they sink deeper in less dense liquids (like milk heavily diluted with water).
