- Question
Which one of the following statements is not correct?
Options- A. The response of the ear to sound of increasing intensity is approximately logarithmic.
- B. The sensitivity of the human ear does not vary with the frequency of the sound.
- C. When two or more waves traverse the same medium, the displacement of any element of the medium is the algebraic sum of the displacements due to each wave.
- D. Longitudinal waves can travel in all media-solids, liquids and gases.
- Correct Answer
- The sensitivity of the human ear does not vary with the frequency of the sound.
ExplanationThe human ear can respond to minute pressure variations inthe air if they are in the audible frequency range, roughly 20 Hz -20 kHz. In fact, tests conducted show an increased sensitivity in the 3000 Hz range which is the optimal amplification frequency in the human ear. So, the sensitivity of the human ear varies with the frequency of the sound.

Correct Answer: Angular momentum
Explanation:
In S.I. System unit of angular momentum is "joule.Second".
SI unit of Planck's constant is joule-seconds(j-s).
Correct Answer: 1 atmosphere
Explanation:
1 atm: It was originally defined as the pressure exerted by 760 mm of mercury at 0 °C and standard gravity (g = 9.80665 m/s2).
Correct Answer: the base has the least concentration of impurity
Explanation:
In terms of concentration of impurity (a.k.a impurity doping concentration, often abbreviated to doping concentration), from the highest to the lowest among the three regions of a bipolar junction, emitter, collector, and base are the correct order. The above order is independent of the type of BJT, npn or pnp
Correct Answer: Zero
Correct Answer: neither the mass number nor the atomic number of the nucleus changes
Explanation:
The emission of gamma rays does not alter the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus but instead has the effect of moving the nucleus from a higher to a lower energy state (unstable to stable)
Correct Answer: denser to rarer medium and it occurs with no loss of intensity
Explanation:
According to wave theories, for Total internal reflection tohappen: Light must travel from denser medium to rarer medium. Angle of incidence should be greater than critical angle. As in case of TIR, the image is perfectly clear, it implies that there has been no loss of intensity.
Correct Answer: 10 MeV
Explanation:
A photon?s relativistic momentum is given by the equation,E = pc where p is the momentum.
P = 10 MeV/c
So, E = 10 MeV
Correct Answer: ferromagnetic property
Explanation:
On the basis of magnetic properties, substances are classified into three groups namely diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic.
As solids diffuse and reorder very slowly under ambient conditions, the net, directionally dependent (anisotropic) magnetic moment can persist. Conversely, liquids and gases freely tumble and reorder: water rearranges every few pico seconds (10^12 times per second).
Hence liquids and gases can never show ferromagnetic properties.
Correct Answer: homogeneous and transparent
Explanation:
In vacuum and in homogeneous, transparent media, such as air, water, and glass, light moves in a straight line. When light encounters a boundary between two different transparent media, some light is reflected and some moves from the first into the second medium.
Correct Answer: the silver piece will weighmore
Explanation:
As it is said that density of gold is greater than that of density of silver, so silver occupies a greater volume than gold. So it has more upthrust from the water, although they both show the same weight under water, there is more silver present. Hence silver piece will weigh more.
