Which common observation explains why sound seems louder when heard through walls compared to open air over long distances?

  • A Sound is louder in air
  • B Solids conduct sound more efficiently than air
  • C Walls amplify all frequencies
  • D Air absorbs sound more than solids
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Solids conduct sound more efficiently than air
Explanation: Sound travels more efficiently through solid materials like walls because the denser medium provides better particle-to-particle contact for transmitting sound waves with less energy loss.

Which phenomenon explains why distant mountains sometimes appear bluish in colour?

  • A Reflection from ocean
  • B Mountain mineral colour
  • C Light absorption by plants
  • D Atmospheric scattering of light
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Atmospheric scattering of light
Explanation: Distant mountains appear bluish because of atmospheric scattering where air molecules and particles scatter shorter blue wavelengths of light more effectively creating a blue haze over distances.

Which property of a magnet means it will always realign itself to point in a north-south direction if freely suspended?

  • A Directive property
  • B Magnetic flux
  • C Magnetic polarity
  • D Magnetic saturation
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Directive property
Explanation: The directive property of a magnet means that when freely suspended it aligns itself along the Earth's magnetic field pointing in a north-south direction making it useful as a compass.
