Sound Extra Questions and answers

1) Fill in the blanks:

a) ____ is produced by vibrating objects. (Sound)

b) The unit of loudness is ____. (Decibel)

c) The vocal cords in men are about _____ mm long. (20)

d) _____ sends vibrations to the inner ear. (Eardrum)

2) Multiple choice questions:

a) The ultrasound equipment works at frequencies _____ than 20,000 Hz?

a) Higher b) Lower

Ans. a) Higher

b) A lion makes a _____ roar?

a) High-pitched b) Low-pitched

Ans. b) Low-pitched

c) A drum vibrates with a ____ frequency?

a) Low b) High

Ans. a) Low

d) The vocal cords in women are about _____ mm long?

a) 20 b) 15

Ans. b) 15

3) Answer the following questions:

a) What is frequency? What is the unit of frequency?

Ans. The number of oscillations per second is called the frequency of oscillation.

The unit of frequency is Hertz.

b) How does the loudness of sound depend on its amplitude?

Ans. When the amplitude of vibration is large, the sound produced is loud. On the other hand, When the amplitude of vibration is small, the sound produced is feeble.

c) How does the frequency determine the pitch of a sound?

Ans. If the frequency of vibration is higher, the sound is shrill and has a higher pitch. On the other hand, if the frequency of vibration is lower, the sound has a lower pitch.

d) What is noise? What is the cause of noise pollution? State two effects of noise pollution.

Ans. The unpleasant sounds are called noise.

Unwanted or excessive sounds lead to noise pollution.

Two effects of noise pollution are – Temporary or permanent impairment of hearing and sleep disruption.

4) Mark your answer as per the codes provide below:

a) A: Sounds of frequencies less than about 20 vibrations per secondare called inaudible.

R: Sounds of frequencies less than about 20 vibrations per second cannot be detected by the human ear.

I.) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

II.) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

III.) A is true but R is false.

IV.) A is false but R is true.

V.) Both A and R are false.

Ans. I. Both A and R are true and R is the current explanation of A.

b) A: Silencing devices must be installed in air craft engines, transport vehicles, industrial machines and home appliance.

R: Attempts should be made to minimize noise pollution.

I.) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

II.) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

III.) A is true but R is false.

IV.) A is false but R is true.

V.) Both A and R are false.

Ans.I. Both A and R are true and R is the current explanation of A.

5) Sounds of frequencies less than about 20 vibrations per second cannot be detected by the human ear. Such sounds are called inaudible. On the higher side, sounds of frequencies higher than about 20,000 vibrations per second are also not audible to the human ear. Thus, for human ear, the range of audible frequencies is roughly from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Some animals can hear sounds of frequencies higher than 20,000 Hz. Dogs have this ability. The police use high frequency whistles which dogs can hear but humans cannot.

a) For human ear, the range of audible frequencies is roughly from ______ Hz. (20 to 20,000 Hz)

b) Sounds of frequencies less than about _____ vibrations per second cannot be detected by the human ear.(20)

c) _____ have the ability to hear sounds of frequencies higher than 20,000 Hz. (Dogs)

Ans : Unpleasant sounds are called noise.

2) Decibel

Ans :You need to use to express the loudness is called as decibel.

3) Oscillatory motion

Ans :Two and promotion of an object is known as vibration this motion is called as oscillatory motion.

4) Frequency of oscillation

Ans : The number of oscillations per second is called the frequency of oscillation.

5) Ear drum

Ans :When sound enters it travels down a canal at the end of which there is a thin stretch membrane it is called eardrum.

6) Vibration

Ans :To and froand back and forth motion of an object is call vibration.

 

Q.4) Answer the following

1) How is sound produced?

2) Name any two commonly used musical instruments in our country.

Ans :Manjira, mud pot , GH ATM  are some of the commonly used musical instruments in our country.

3) How can we hear a sound?

Ans :When sound enters it travel down again let the end of which there is athene’s rich membrane gold eardrum. your room is like a stretch rubber sheet. sound vibrations make the year drum vibrate. Do your drum sense vibration to the inner ear. From there signal goes to the brain. That is how we hear.

4) Differentiate with two points difference between noise and musical sound.

NOISE

MUSICAL SOUND

Noise is an unpleasant sound sounds that we get from musical instruments are called as musical sound
Noise is unpleasant for ear musical sound is pleasing to the ear
Example. construction work going in neighbourhood, horns of buses and trucks. Example. sound produced by a harmonium is a musical sound.
