STANDARD Physics Wave Velocity MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A body sends waves 100 mm long through medium A and 0.25 m long in medium B. If the velocity of waves in medium A is 80 cm s⁻¹. The velocity of waves in medium B is
A
1 m s⁻¹
B
2 m s⁻¹
C
3 m s⁻¹
D
4 m s⁻¹
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The frequency of the wave remains the same in both media. Using the formula v = λν, we find v_B = (0.25/0.10) × 0.80 = 2 m s⁻¹.
