JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       When we start filling an empty bucket with water, the pitch of sound produced goes on decreasing. Reason                 :       The frequency of man voice is usually higher than that of woman.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       A bucket can be treated as a pipe closed at one end. The frequency of the note produced \[=\frac{v}{4L}\], here L  equal to depth of water level from the open end. As the bucket is filled with water L decreases, hence frequency increases. Therefore, frequency or pitch of sound produced goes on increasing. Also, the frequency of woman voice is usually higher than that of man.
