NEET Physics Time Period & Frequency MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11
A simple pendulum has a time period of 3.5 s on Earth. What is its time period on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.7 m/s²?
A
8.5 s
B
4.9 s
C
1.2 s
D
6.0 s
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The time period of a simple pendulum is given by T = 2π√(L/g). On the moon, with g = 1.7 m/s², T_moon = T_earth * √(g_earth/g_moon) = 3.5 * √(9.8/1.7) ≈ 4.9 s.
