Q.1 Easy Waves
A transverse wave travels along a stretched string with equation y = 0.02sin(50πt - 4πx), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. What is the wave velocity and wavelength of this wave?
A v = 12.5 m/s, λ = 0.5 m
B v = 6.25 m/s, λ = 1 m
C v = 25 m/s, λ = 0.25 m
D v = 12.5 m/s, λ = 1 m
Correct Answer:  A. v = 12.5 m/s, λ = 0.5 m
EXPLANATION

From y = 0.02sin(50πt - 4πx), comparing with y = Asin(ωt - kx): ω = 50π rad/s, k = 4π rad/m. Wavelength λ = 2π/k = 2π/(4π) = 0.5 m. Wave velocity v = ω/k = 50π/(4π) = 12.5 m/s.

Q.2 Easy Waves
A wave traveling in the positive x-direction reflects from a fixed end. What is the phase change upon reflection?
A
B 90°
C 180°
D 270°
Correct Answer:  C. 180°
EXPLANATION

When a wave reflects from a fixed (denser) end, it undergoes a phase change of π radians or 180°

Test
Q.3 Easy Waves
Two sources produce sound waves of frequencies 250 Hz and 254 Hz. What is the beat frequency heard?
A 2 Hz
B 4 Hz
C 6 Hz
D 254 Hz
Correct Answer:  B. 4 Hz
EXPLANATION

Beat frequency = |f₁ - f₂| = |250 - 254| = 4 Hz

Test
Q.4 Easy Waves
A string is vibrating in its second harmonic with frequency 200 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency?
A 100 Hz
B 200 Hz
C 300 Hz
D 400 Hz
Correct Answer:  A. 100 Hz
EXPLANATION

In the second harmonic (n=2), f₂ = 2f₁. Therefore, f₁ = f₂/2 = 200/2 = 100 Hz

Test
Q.5 Easy Waves
Two waves of same frequency interfere constructively. If individual amplitudes are 3 cm and 4 cm, what is the resultant amplitude?
A 1 cm
B 5 cm
C 7 cm
D 3.5 cm
Correct Answer:  C. 7 cm
EXPLANATION

For constructive interference, A_resultant = A₁ + A₂ = 3 + 4 = 7 cm

Test
Q.6 Easy Waves
The amplitude of a wave is doubled. How does this affect the intensity of the wave?
A Intensity is doubled
B Intensity is quadrupled
C Intensity remains the same
D Intensity is halved
Correct Answer:  B. Intensity is quadrupled
EXPLANATION

Intensity is proportional to the square of amplitude (I ∝ A²). When A becomes 2A, I becomes 4I

Test
Q.7 Easy Waves
A guitar string of length 0.6 m is vibrating in its third harmonic. How many antinodes are present on the string?
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
Correct Answer:  C. 3
EXPLANATION

In the nth harmonic, the number of antinodes equals n. For the third harmonic (n=3), there are 3 antinodes

Test
Q.8 Easy Waves
Which of the following correctly represents the relationship between wave velocity, frequency, and wavelength?
A v = f/λ
B v = fλ
C v = λ/f
D v = f + λ
Correct Answer:  B. v = fλ
EXPLANATION

The fundamental wave equation is v = fλ, where v is velocity, f is frequency, and λ is wavelength

Test
Q.9 Easy Waves
A wave is traveling through a medium with velocity v = 340 m/s. If the wavelength is 0.85 m, what is the frequency of the wave?
A 400 Hz
B 289.25 Hz
C 400 Hz
D 100 Hz
Correct Answer:  A. 400 Hz
EXPLANATION

Using v = fλ, f = v/λ = 340/0.85 = 400 Hz

Test
Q.10 Easy Waves
The Doppler effect is observed when:
A Wave amplitude changes
B Relative motion exists between source and observer
C Wave encounters a barrier
D Wavelength remains constant
Correct Answer:  B. Relative motion exists between source and observer
EXPLANATION

Doppler effect occurs due to relative motion between source and observer, causing apparent frequency change
