Explanation

• Gamma rays have the highest frequency, shortest wavelength, and highest photon energy.
• They have strong penetrating ability and can pass through many materials.

Additional information:

Explanation

• The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness.
• Greater amplitude generally produces a louder sound.
• While smaller amplitude produces a quieter sound.

Additional information:

• Frequency: Determines pitch (high or low sound).
• Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive points in the same phase, such as two crests.

Explanation

• A velocity–time graph shows how velocity changes with time.
• The slope gives acceleration.
• The area under the graph represents motion covered.
• It connects velocity with displacement.

Explanation

• The speed of sound is generally maximum in solids.
• Because their particles are closely packed and elastic forces transmit vibrations rapidly.

Additional information:

• Solids: Sound generally travels fastest, e.g., Steel: 5,000–6,000 m/s
• Liquids: Sound travels slower than in most solids, e.g., Water: 1,480 m/s
• Gases: Sound travels slowest under ordinary conditions, e.g., Air at 20°C: 343 m/s
