SECTION A

Select a suitable answer for the given MCQ and mention only the option (A, B, C or D) as your answer

QUESTION 1
a) When the vibrations of one object match the resonant frequency of a second object, the first (1)
object increases the _____ of the vibrations of the second object.
A. Amplitude B. Wavelength C. Frequency D. Speed
b) A note is played on a guitar. Next, a lower note is played on the guitar. Which of these (1)
statements describes the lower note?
A. Both notes vibrated at the same speed B. The second note vibrated slower.
B. The second note vibrates at higher frequency D. The second note vibrated faster.
c) Two sounds P and Q have the same frequency and same wave form; but differ in amplitude (1)
as Q has twice the amplitude compared to P.
A. B differs in quality from A B. B is grave, A is shrill
C. B is shrill, A is grave D. B is louder than A
d) The diagram shows a string XY supporting a heavy (1)
pendulum P and four pendulums A, B, C and D of
smaller mass. The lengths of the pendulum are
depicted in scale. Pendulum P is set in oscillation
perpendicular to the plane of the diagram. Which
one of the pendulums, A to D, then oscillates with the largest amplitude?
A. Pendulum A B. Pendulum B C. Pendulum C D. Pendulum D
e) The main reason why amplitude decreases for a body undergoing damped vibrations is the (1)
energy dissipated to overcome _______
A. viscosity / density of the vibrating body B. friction offered by the medium
C. velocity of the vibrating body D. amplitude of the vibrating body
f) Which of the following is not an example of resonance? (1)
A. Sympathetic vibrations of pendulums
B. Breaking of glass by opera singer’s song
C. Pressing the stem of a tuning fork against a table top to make the table top vibrate
D. TV and radio receivers
g) Sound of which test tube will be shrill / high pitched? (1)
A. Test tube A
B. Test Tube B
C. Test Tube C
D. Test Tube D
h) Refer the given diagram. Water in the test tube is (1)
slowly emptied out. A vibrating tuning fork when
placed above the test tube produces a loud sound
when the height of the air column is 17 cm. At
what height of the air column, will the next loud
sound be heard?
A. 34 cm B. 25.5 cm
C. 51 cm D. 68 cm

SECTION B
Answer in Brief
QUESTION 2
a) The given figure shows three modes of vibration of a string of a given (3)
length ‘l’.
i. Which vibration is of the largest amplitude? Wave b
ii. Which vibration if of the least frequency? Wave c
iii. What is the ratio of frequency between waves (a) and (c)
𝛌
3λA = λB → 𝛌𝑨 = 𝟏 ∶ 𝟑
𝑩

𝟏 𝐟
since f ∝ → 𝒇𝑨 = 𝟑 ∶ 𝟏
𝛌 𝑩

b) State three ways to increase the frequency of vibrations of a stretched string. (3)
To increase frequency / pitch of a vibrating string
𝟏
→ decrease length of string (f ∝ 𝐥 )
𝟏
→ decrease thickness of string (f ∝ 𝒓)

→ increase tension of string (f ∝ √𝑻)


c) The displacement-distance graphs for waves (4)
A and B are depicted above as they pass
through air. What is the relation between
their:
i. Velocities? Since both waves are in same
medium, velocities are same. vA : vB = 1 : 1
ii. Wavelengths?
1.5 λA = λB → λA : λB = 2 : 3
iii. Loudness?
aA : aB = 8 : 16 = 1 : 2
L ∝ 𝒂𝟐 → LA : LB = (aA : aB)2 = (1 : 2)2 = 1 : 4
iv. How do the two waves differ in quality? Waveform is same, hence the waves have same
quality
d) Differentiate between natural and damped vibrations. (Write any 2) (2)
Free vibrations Damped vibrations
Amplitude remains constant and vibrations Amplitude keeps decreasing with time and
continue forever ultimately vibrations cease
No loss of energy With each vibration, some energy is lost as heat
No external force acts on vibrating body. External frictional or damping forces act on the
vibrating body
Frequency of vibrations are equal to natural Frequency of vibrations are less than the natural
frequency frequency.
