A man 1.5m tall is standing 3m in front of a pinhole camera whose distance between the hole and the screen is 0.1m. What is the height of the image of the man on the screen?

A.

0.05m

B.

0.15m

C.

0.30m

D.

1.00m

Correct answer is A

\(h_i = \frac{h_o \times V}{u}\)

\(h_i = \frac{1.5 \times 0.1}{3}\)

= 0.05m

If a sonometer has a fundamental frequency of 450HZ, what is the frequency of the fifth overtone?

A.

2700Hz

B.

456Hz

C.

444Hz

D.

75Hz

Correct answer is A

5th Overtone = 6fo = 6 x 450 = 2700Hz

What is the velocity of sound at 100 oC if the velocity of sound at 0 oC is 340ms -1?

A.

497m-1

B.

440m-1

C.

397m-1

D.

240m-1

Correct answer is C

\(V \propto \sqrt{T}\)

⇒ \(\frac{V_{1}}{\sqrt{T_{1}}} = \frac{V_{2}}{\sqrt{T_{2}}}\)

Using the above formula, we get

\(V_{2} \approxeq 397ms^{-1}\)
