as in health, wellness and the arts particularly in music industry.

Want to know more about these amazing sound treats?
C. Activity Students will perform activity 6, “Reflecting and Refracting sound”.
In this activity the students will be able to observe how longitudinal waves reflect and
refract.
D. Analysis Let the students answer the following guide questions.
Q32. What happens to the compressions or rarefactions when they hit the wall or a
fixed end?
Ans.: The compressions or rarefactions bounce off after hitting the wall.
Q33. Are the compressions found on the same location in the slinky before and after
hitting the wall?
Ans.: No they are not found on the same positions.
Q34. What happens to sound waves when they hit a fixed end or the wall?
Ans.: Sound will also bounce off when it strikes a fixed end or the wall.
Q35. What happens to the frequency of the longitudinal waves as the waves move
from the large coil slinky to the small coil slinky?
Ans.: The frequency of the wave increases.
Q36. What would be an observable change in sound when the frequency changes?
Ans.: Increase in frequency of the sound is manifested as change in pitch.
Q37. What happens to the amplitude of the longitudinal waves as the waves move
from the large coil slinky to the small coil slinky?
Ans.: Amplitude increases.
Q38. What happens to sound when the amplitude of the sound changes?
Ans.: Louder sound is observe.
Q39. What happens to the speed of the longitudinal waves as the waves move from
the large coil slinky to the small coil slinky?
Ans.: Faster wave.
E. Abstraction Introduce the properties of sound, reflection and refraction of sound.
Reflection of sound is usually described as the turning back of a wave as it hits a
barrier. Echo is an example of a reflected sound. Reverberation on the other hand
refers to the multiple reflections or echoes in a certain place. Echo sounding is
another application of sound reflection. This is used by scientists to map the sea
floor and determine the depth of the ocean or sea.

H. Generalization
Refraction of sound is described as the change in speed of sound when it
encounters a medium of different density. As what you had learn, sound travels
faster in hotter media. This change in speed of sound during refraction is manifested
as sort of “bending” of waves. When sound propagate in air, where the temperature
changes with altitude, sound bends towards the hotter region, thus refraction
happens.
When sounds propagates in air, where the temperature changes with altitude, sound
bends towards the hotter region, thus refraction happens. The refraction is due to
the different refractive indices of air because of the difference in temperature. At day
time, the air near Earth’s surface is cooler than the air above. Sound would move
from the cooler region (Earth surface) towards the hotter air above. Thus sound
waves will be refracted to the sky. At nighttime, the air near the Earth’s surface is
heated by the heat emitted by the sun during nighttime. This makes sound move
from the cooler air above towards the hotter air near the earth’s surface. Thus,
sound waves are refracted to the Earth’s surface.
Why do designers use curtains, cloth or rough materials to cover the walls and
ceiling of a theater or movie house? What property is being applied?
Ans.: To lessen the echoes and reverberations which are not pleasing to the ears
during a play or a movie.
Reflection of sound.
Why open field concerts are usually held during nighttime?
Ans.: Open field concert at night gives a chance for everyone to see and enjoy the
live show because there is no work and no school. Aside from that, sound is heard
well in far areas and gives a clearer and more audible music to enjoy during
nighttime as sound waves are refracted from the stage towards the audience due to
refraction.
Name different practical applications of reflection and refraction of sounds in our
day to day activities.
1. Hearing aid – a device used by the people who are having a difficulty in hearing.
Sound waves are uniformly reflected in a slimmer area so as to direct the sound
to the ear.
2. Sound Boards – Curved surfaces which are used in auditorium to spread the
waves uniformly throughout the hall to avoid echoes and reverberation. It helps
in improving the quality of sounds.
3. Sonar devices – used to measure the distance and speed of underwater objects
through sound.
4. Stethoscope – the sound of the patient’s heartbeat reaches the doctor’s ear by
multiple reflections of sound using this device.
5. Horns, megaphones or loudhailers – are designed to send sound waves in
particular direction without spreading in all directions.
6. Parking sensor – The sensors measure the time taken to reflect each sound pulse
back to the receiver. The device will alert the driver of the possibility of collision
by audio means.
Sound is a form of energy.
 Reflection and refraction are the properties of sound.
An echo is a reflected sound while reverberation is a multiple reflection of sound.
Sound refraction occurs in uneven winds or when sound is travelling through air of
uneven temperature.
I. Evaluat Answer the questions briefly.
J. ion 1. Differentiate reflection and refraction of sound.
Ans.: Reflection of sound is described as the turning back of sound wave as it
hits a barrier while refraction of sound is described as the change in speed of
sound when it encounters a medium of different temperature. Thus sound
bends.
2. Compare echo and reverberation.
Ans.: Echo is an example of a reflected sound while reverberation refers to the
multiple reflections of sound.
3. How to lessen the echo and reverberation in a movie house?
Ans.: To lessen the echo and reverberation in a movie house put sound boards,
curtains, cloth to spread the waves uniformly throughout the hall to avoid
echoes and reverberation.
4. Why are open field concerts held during nighttime?
Ans.: Sound is heard well in far areas and gives a clearer and more audible
music to enjoy during nighttime as sound waves are refracted from the stage
towards the audience due to refraction.
