Class: 10th (physics) marks: 50

Question no 1 Attempt short questions? (20 marks)

 Derive the relationship between wave length, frequency and velocity?

 Write the characteristics of SHM?
 Explain the difference between transverse waves and longitudinal waves?
 Define damped oscillations? Also explain shock absorbers.
 Find the time period and frequency of simple pendulum 1.0 m long at a
location where g= 9.8 meter per second square.
 A wave moves on a slinky with frequency of 4 Hz and wavelength of 0.4 m.
What is the speed of the wave?
 If the length of a simple pendulum is doubled, what will be the change in its
time period?
 Water waves in a shallow dish are 6.0 cm long. At one point, the water moves
up and down at a rate of 4.8 oscillations per second.
A. What is the speed of the water waves
B. What is the period of the water waves
 What is the difference between loudness and intensity of sound?
 Write use of ultrasound in medical?
 A sound wave has a frequency of 2KHz and wavelength 35 cm. How long will
it take to travel 1.5 km?

Question no 2 attempt any two parts? (20 marks)

 (A) a marine survey ship sends a sound wave straight to the seabed. It
receives an echo 1.5s later. The speed of sound in seawater is 1500 m/s. Find
the depth of the sea at this position.
(B) Explain the SHM in detail?
 (A) A transverse wave produced on a spring has a frequency of 190 Hz and
travels along the length of the spring of 90 m, in 0.5 s.
1. What is the period of the wave
2. What is the speed of the wave
3. What is the wavelength of the wave
 (B) define ripple tank? Also explain the properties of waves with the help of it.

 (A) explain simple pendulum in detail?

(B) The highest frequency sound humans can hear is about 20,000 Hz. What
is the wavelength of sound in air at this frequency at a temperature of 20
degree centigrade? What is the wavelength of the lowest sounds we can ear
of about 20 Hz. Assume the speed of sound in air at 20 degree centigrade is
343 m/s.

Question no 3: Mcqs? (10 marks)

second. ( 20,0000 times, 2000 times , 20,000 times, none)
 Transverse waves moves through solids at the speed of less than what of
the speed of longitudinal waves. ( Half, Quarter, full, none)
 Earth quake produces waves through the crust of the Earth in the form of
which waves? ( Longitudinal, Seismic, mechanical, none)
 Waves transfer what? ( Energy, frequency, wavelength)
 The loudness of a sound is most closely related to its (frequency, period,
wavelength, amplitude)
 What is the example of longitudinal wave? (Sound wave, light wave, radio
wave, water wave)
 Which form of energy is sound? ( Electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical)
 Note: two marks are for best presentation. (Good luck)
