Pitch is a perceptual property that allows the ordering of sounds on a frequency-related scale. Pitch may be quantified as a frequency, but pitch is not a purely objective physical property; it is a subjective psycho-acoustical attribute of sound. When the frequency is high, the wavelength of the sound is shorter.
Correct Option: A

Railway tracks are banked on curves so that necessary centripetal force may be obtained from the horizontal component of the weight of the train. It helps the train to stay on the track as it negotiates the curve. The raised track provides required centripetal force to enable it to move round the curve.
Correct Option: C

The cathode ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing an electron gun (a source of electrons or electron emitter) and a fluorescent screen used to view images. Colour tubes use three different phosphors which emit red, green, and blue light respectively. They are packed together in stripes (as in aperture grille designs) or clusters called “triads” (as in shadow mask CRTs).

If the relative humidity is 100 percent, water will not evaporate as the air is already saturated with moisture. When relative humidity approaches 100 percent, condensation can occur. The lower the relative humidity, the easier it is for moisture to evaporate.

A magnifying glass is a convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object. The magnification of a magnifying glass depends upon where it is placed between the user’s eye and the object being viewed, and the total distance between them.
