c) P     d) S

II. Fill in the blanks:

1. Vibration of objects produces sound.
2. Sound is a mechanical wave and needs a material medium to travel.
3. Number of vibrations produced in one second is frequency.
4. The velocity of sound in solid is greater than the velocity of sound in air.
5. Loudness in proportional to the square of the amplitude.
6. A sound wave has a frequency of 4 k Hz and wave length 2 m. Then the velocity of sound is 8000m.s-1
7. Stethoscope is a medical instrument used for listening to sounds produced in the body.
8. The repeated reflection that results in persistence of sound is called reverberation.
9. Ultrasounds can also be used to detect cracks and flaws in metal blocks.
10. In the inner ear, the pressure variations are turned into electrical signals by the cochlea.

III. Match the following:

1. Tuning fork     a) The point where the density of air is maximum.
2. Sound               b) Maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
3. Compressions c) The sound whose frequency is greater than 20,000 Hz.
4. Amplitude       d) Longitudinal wave
5. Ultrasonics      e) production of sound
Ans: 1-e ; 2-d ; 3-a ; 4-b ; 5-c.

IV. Matrix matching:

Ans: 1 –b-A; 2- d- E; 3- e – B; 4- c- D; 5 –a- C

V. Short Questions & Answers:

1. Name the device which is used to produce sound in laboratory experiments.
A tuning fork is used to produce sound in laboratory experiments.

2. Through which medium does sound travel faster, iron or water? Give reason.
Sound travels faster in iron medium. One of the conditions for the velocity of sound is density. The density of iron is greater than the density of water. So sound travels faster in iron.

3. What should an object do to produce sound?
To produce sound, the object should vibrate.

4. Can sound travel through vacuum?
No, sound cannot travel through vacuum.

5. Name the physical quantity whose SI unit is ‘hertz’ Define.
The SI unit of frequency is hertz (Hz). A complete cycle produced in one second is called hertz.

6. What is meant by supersonic speed?
When the speed of any object exceeds the speed of sound in air (330 ms-1), it is said to be supersonic speed.

7. How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your cars?
When an object vibrates, it sets the particles of the medium around to vibrate. But, the vibrating particles do not travel. A particle of the medium in contact with the vibrating object is displaced from its equilibrium position. It then exerts a force on an adjacent particle which gets displaced from its position of rest. After that the first particle comes back to its original position. This process continues in the medium till the sound reached our ears.

8. You and your friend are on the moon. Will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?
No. As there is no medium like air on the moon, the sound waves do not travel.
