To check your answers, let's go through each question and explanation:

Question 1: Which of these is not in the family?
To find the answer, we need to determine which of the options does not belong to the family. The family in this context refers to the different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. We have four options: sound, light, infrared radiation, and radio waves.

To determine the correct answer, we need to know that sound is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to propagate. On the other hand, light, infrared radiation, and radio waves are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. infrared radiation, as it does not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum.

Question 2: When an electric charge is shaken to and fro in quick succession, the vibrating charge emits:
In this question, we need to identify what is emitted when an electric charge undergoes quick vibrations. The options given are infrasonic sound, ultrasonic sound, an electromagnetic wave, and gamma radiation.

To find the answer, you need to know that vibrating electric charges emit electromagnetic waves, as they produce oscillating variations in electric and magnetic fields. So, the correct answer is c. an electromagnetic wave.

Question 3: If you dip your finger repeatedly onto the surface of still water, you produce waves. The more frequently you dip your finger, the:
Here, we need to understand how the wave frequency and wavelength are affected by dipping your finger more frequently on the water surface. The options given are a. lower the wave frequency and the longer the wavelength, b. higher the wave frequency and the shorter the wavelength, c. both of the above, and d. neither.

To determine the correct answer, we need to recall the relationship between wave frequency and wavelength. Increasing the frequency of dips will result in more waves being produced per unit time, which will increase the wave frequency. However, as the time available for each wave to propagate is shorter, the wavelength will decrease. Therefore, the correct answer is b. higher the wave frequency and the shorter the wavelength.

Question 4: Low-pitched sounds have:
To determine the characteristics of low-pitched sounds, we need to consider the options given: a. low frequencies, b. long periods, c. both, and d. none.

To find the answer, we need to understand that pitch refers to the subjective perception of the frequency of a sound. Low-pitched sounds are associated with lower frequencies. Additionally, since the frequency is inversely proportional to the period (T), low frequencies also correspond to long periods.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. both, as low-pitched sounds have both low frequencies and long periods.

I hope this helps you check your answers!
