When the same note is played on a sitar and a flute, the sound produced can be distinguished from each other because of the difference in (1995)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(a) pitch, loudness and quality <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(b) pitch and loudness <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(c) quality only <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(d) loudness only<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ans_c\"><\/span>Ans. (c)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The characteristic timbre of sound plays a significant role in distinguishing between the same note played on a sitar versus a flute. Timbre, or sound quality, allows us to discern between sounds of identical pitch and volume. Pitch refers to the attribute of sound that allows differentiation between sounds of equal volume, determined by the frequency of vibration. Meanwhile, loudness measures the amount of sound energy perceived by the ear per unit of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q2_A_girl_is_swinging_on_a_swing_in_sitting_position_When_the_same_girl_stands_up_the_period_of_swing_will_1997\"><\/span>Q2. A girl is swinging on a swing in sitting position. When the same girl stands up, the period of swing will (1997)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(a) be shorter <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(b) be longer <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(c) depend on the height of the girl <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(d) not change<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ans_a\"><\/span>Ans. (a)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a girl transitions from sitting to standing while swinging on a swing, the swing&#8217;s period becomes shorter. Swings exemplify simple harmonic motion, a specific type of repetitive motion in which an object moves back and forth around an equilibrium point. This concept is also demonstrated by simple pendulums. The time period (T) of a swing is calculated as T = 2\u03c0\u221a(l\/g), where l represents the length of the swing and g denotes the acceleration due to gravity. The time period of a simple pendulum is directly linked to the square root of its effective length, denoted as T\u221d\u221al. When a girl sitting on a swing stands up, her center of gravity ascends, causing the effective length of the swing to decrease. Consequently, the swing&#8217;s time period decreases accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_A_noise_level_of_100_decibel_would_correspond_to_2000\"><\/span>Q3. A noise level of 100 decibel would correspond to (2000)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>(a) just audible sound <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(b) ordinary conversation <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(c) sound from a noisy street <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(d) noise from a machine shop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ans_d\"><\/span>Ans. (d)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A noise level reaching 100 decibels indicates the sound intensity akin to that found in a highly noisy machine shop. Sound loudness is quantified using the decibel (dB) scale, contingent upon the amplitude of vibration generated by the sound source. Amplitude denotes the maximum displacement of particles within the medium from their initial undisturbed position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q4_Consider_the_following_statements_2001\"><\/span>Q4.

(c)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Statements (1), (2), and (4) are accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of a simple pendulum, the net acceleration becomes zero as the bob reaches the mean position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In each cycle, the bob&#8217;s velocity increases from zero at the extreme position to a maximum at the mean position, indicating that the bob achieves a particular velocity twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amplitude of oscillation of a simple pendulum diminishes over time due to air friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statement (3) is incorrect since the acceleration of the bob is maximum at the extreme position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q5_Which_one_of_the_following_statements_is_not_correct_2003\"><\/span>Q5.

(c)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Statement (c) is incorrect because the velocity of sound in air actually decreases as humidity increases. The speed of sound is inversely proportional to the amount of moisture in the air because the presence of moisture increases the density of air.

Therefore, a shorter flute produces waves of higher frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound travels through rocks in the form of compressional (longitudinal) waves and not transverse waves. Longitudinal waves involve the displacement of the medium in the same or opposite direction as the wave&#8217;s propagation. They create compressions and rarefactions as they move through a medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q8_Assertion_A_A_jet_aircraft_moving_at_Mach_number_equal_to_1_travels_faster_at_an_altitude_of_15km_than_while_moving_at_Mach_number_equal_to_1_near_the_sea_level_Reason_R_The_velocity_of_sound_depends_on_the_temperature_of_the_surrounding_medium_2007\"><\/span>Q8.

(d)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Statement A is false, but statement R is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The velocity of sound is indeed dependent on the temperature of the surrounding medium. With every 1\u00b0C increase in temperature, the speed of sound in the atmosphere increases by approximately 0.61 m\/s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supersonic waves are often measured in terms of the Mach number, which represents the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As altitude increases from sea level, temperature generally decreases, resulting in a decrease in the speed of sound. Therefore, at an altitude of 15 km, Mach 1 implies that the speed of a jet aircraft is lower than that at sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-essay?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Essay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/UPSC-Essay-Course-1280\u00d7300-1-3.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42688\" width=\"781\" height=\"182\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-c6ab63ae-7083-4831-b519-cb89dacafb18\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_case_you_still_have_your_doubts_contact_us_on_9811333901\"><\/span><strong>In case you still have your doubts, contact us on 9811333901.<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-52c5a91b-6ed6-46e3-b781-7cc0c63a0b76\">For UPSC Prelims Resources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc-cse-prelims-resource-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d014fe86-d628-49d8-82ce-6c60dc6e7a73\">For Daily Updates and Study Material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-38177954-e668-4d8d-b250-d0fbd5a09390\">Join our Telegram Channel &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/WithEdukemy4IAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edukemy for IAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-49ca2fe3-109f-4a88-b72e-9df49c3d328e\"><li>1.
