Frequency Measurement

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following cannot be used as a unit for frequency?
Hz
BPM
RPM
S
Explanation:
Frequency is a measure of repetition of a quantity over a specific time interval. S (Second) cannot be used for representing frequency. Hz or hertz is the SI unit representation of frequency, other units are Beats per minute (BPM) and Rotation per minute (RPM).

Which of the following frequency range represents an audible frequency range of humans?
Below 20Hz
Between 20Hz and 20 KHz
Above 20 KHz
All of the mentioned
Explanation:
Audible frequency range means, frequency of the sound signal that can hear by humans. Audible frequency range of human is recognized as between 20Hz and 20 KHz.
Question 3

Pass Ratio : 100%
What will be the frequency of the signal A sin (4πt+ɸ)?
2Hz
0.5Hz
2Ï€Hz
4Ï€Hz
Explanation:
Frequency is the ratio of angular frequency and 2Ï€. Here angular frequency is 4Ï€.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following represents the correct relationship between frequency and angular frequency?
ω=2πf
ω=πf
f=2πω
f=πω
Explanation:
Angular frequency is the product of the frequency of a system and 2Ï€. Frequency is represented in Hertz and angular frequency is represented in rad/sec.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
All waves in electromagnetic spectrum has the same speed in vacuum.
True
False
Explanation:
All waves in electromagnetic spectrum has the same speed in vacuum and their speed will be equal to speed of light c. Hence wavelength can be represented as inversely proportional to frequency.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
In a dispersive medium, speed of light depends on frequency.
True
False
Explanation:
Speed of light is independent on any factors only in vacuum, in a dispersive medium it may vary according to wavelength of light. Hence the inverse proportionality may not be always correct here.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following is the correct relationship between speed of light in vacuum and frequency of light?
c=fλ
c=f
λ=cf
c=λ2
Explanation:
In vacuum product of wavelength and frequency of light can be equated to speed of light, that is wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following device can be used for measurement of frequency?
Voltmeter
Ammeter
Stroboscope
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Stroboscope is a frequency measuring instrument which uses another reference signal with a known frequency. Voltmeter is used for measuring voltage and Ammeter is used for measuring current.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which of the following range represents frequency range of rainbow colors?
Below 4×1014Hz
Between 4×1014Hz and 8×1014Hz
Above 8×1014Hz
Between 0Hz and 8×1014Hz
Explanation:
Colors of rainbow lies in the frequency range 4 – 8×1014Hz, in which 4×1014Hz represents frequency of red light.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
What will be the frequency of a system in which 35 events occur in 7 seconds?
7Hz
35Hz
5Hz
10Hz
Explanation:
Frequency is the number of occurrence of an event in a given time interval. That is for 35 events in 7 seconds frequency is 35÷7=5Hz.
