Example 1 · difficulty 2/5
The displacement of a particle of a medium is given by y(x, t) = 0.05 sin(4πx − 20πt), where x is in metre and t is in second. The speed of the wave is:
- A. 0.5 m s⁻¹
- B. 2.5 m s⁻¹
- C. 5.0 m s⁻¹
- D. 10 m s⁻¹

NEET 2016 Physics Waves Questions
Use this page to connect the official 2016 paper with current Physics practice. NeetVellum does not claim a chapter appeared in that paper until the official question and final key have been mapped.
What to master
wave equations, sound, standing waves, beats and Doppler effect.
Original practice preview
These are current-syllabus NeetVellum questions, shown separately from historical-paper provenance.
Example 2 · difficulty 2/5
A uniform wire of linear mass density 2.0 × 10⁻² kg m⁻¹ is kept under a tension of 8.0 N. The speed of a transverse wave travelling along the wire is:
- A. 20 m s⁻¹
- B. 40 m s⁻¹
- C. 200 m s⁻¹
- D. 10 m s⁻¹
Example 3 · difficulty 1/5
A string fixed at both ends vibrates in four loops (segments) when driven at a frequency of 400 Hz. The fundamental frequency of the string is:
- A. 400 Hz
- B. 200 Hz
- C. 50 Hz
- D. 100 Hz
The evidence-first practice loop
- 1. Verify provenanceOfficial paper and final key before accepting a PYQ label.
- 2. Attempt closed-bookExpose the concept or execution gap before rereading.
- 3. Repair and returnClassify the miss and re-practice after a delay.

Frequently asked questions
Are these official NEET 2016 Physics Waves PYQs?
No. The previews are original NeetVellum practice questions. A historical item receives a PYQ label only after its official paper and authoritative final answer key are attached. Use the official archive for the source paper.
How should I use the NEET 2016 paper?
Solve the official paper under its original timing, verify against the final key, classify every miss, and then use the linked current-syllabus practice bank to repair the exposed concept.
