1-Which of the following materials can sound travel through: wood, air,
water?
All three.
2-When a woodwind instrument such as a flute produces a note ,what
Part of it vibrates?
The air in the hollow tube.
3- Which travels faster, light or sound? Describe one observation that
Supports your answer.
Light travels faster than sound so we can see lightning before hear ing
thunder.
4-What is the relationship between frequency f and period T?
F = 1/T
5-What happens to the pitch of sound if its frequency increases?
Pitch gets higher.
6-What happens to the loudness of a sound if its amplitude decreases?
Loudness decreases.
7(a)What is the approximate frequency range of human hearing?
20 Hz to 20 kHz
(b)-How does this change with age? Upper limit in particular
decreases.

8-What is meant by ultrasound?
Ultrasound is sound whose frequency is beyond the upper limit of
hearing, that is above about 20kHz.

9- Sound A has a period of 0.010 s, sound B has a period of 0.020s.

a) Which has the greater frequency?
A has greater frequency.
b) Which will sound more high-pitched?
A sound will more high-pitched.
10-How sound wave transfer?

Sound is a longitudinal wave consists of compression and

rarefaction.
11-What is the difference between compression and rarefaction?
In a compression ,the particles are closer to each other ,in a
rarefaction, the particles are further apart.

12-Why is it impossible for sounds to travel through a vacuum?

Because there is no particles in a vacuum.

13-Complete the following:

Hertz – echo – vacuum – frequency – gases – source

vibrations- second

1-A sound is produced by a vibrating source.

2-The vibrations of a sound travel through a material at the speed of
Sound.
3-The name of reflected sound is echo.
4-The frequency of a sound is the number of vibrations each second.
5-The unit of frequency is hertz.
6-Sounds can travel through solids, liquids and gases, they cannot
travel through a vacuum.
past paper

1- Nov (variant 21)

A student stands 180m in front of vertical, flat cliff and bangs
Together two pieces of wood to make a short ,loud sound.
A timer records the echo of the sound 1.5 seconds after the pieces of
wood are banged together.
Based on this result, what is the speed of sound?
A) 120 m/s B) 240 m/s C) 270 m/s D) 540 m/s

The answer is B
( 180 x 2 =360 )
speed = distance / time
speed = 360 /1.5 = 240 m/s
