What’s In

There are two things that the world possesses- matter and energy.
Energy comes in various forms and can be transferred with or without a
medium. You also learned that energy is not created from anything nor cannot
be destroyed as expressed in the law of conservation of energy.

In module 3, the two forms of mechanical energy were dealt on. In


relation to mechanical energy, other forms of energy will be presented through
engaging hands-on activities. The concept of energy is too broad that an
understanding of its properties and characteristics is considerably done in this
module which is divided into sections.

SCIENCE 8_Q1 PHYSICS PAGE 8


What’s New

Energy is possessed by different things and can take various forms. It


may be transmitted through waves in different forms like that of sound using
different media (solid, liquid and gas) and without using any medium like that of
an electromagnetic wave which is exhibited by visible light (ROYGBIV).
This module focuses on the propagation of sound through solid, liquid
and gas with respect to their corresponding speed. Not only that the properties
of sound will be highlighted but also the characteristics of light. Since light is a
wave and a particle, it possesses unique properties and characteristics that
would lead us to explain natural phenomena such as blue sky, rainbow and
sunset.
Another highlight of this module is the differences between heat and
temperature at a molecular level. When an object does work, some of its energy
is converted into heat affecting an object’s temperature. As discussed in the
previous module, work is not converted to one form of energy only but a few of
it is converted to heat.

The new lessons will discuss about the basic concept of sound, light,
heat and temperature which are interrelated.

The lessons in this module include:

1. Sound
2. Light
3. Heat and Temperature

SCIENCE 8_Q1 PHYSICS PAGE 9


What is It

Lesson 1: Sound

Photo Credit: https://www.slideshare.net/nicogranada31/k-to-12-grade-8-science-learner-module

Sound is produced as the energy is transferred leading to the creation


of tunes and music as a form of entertainment. In the entertainment industry,
gadgets and other musical instrument amuse us. Sound is useful in other fields
of sciences like geology and oceanography. It is also vital in health sciences for
medical purposes. More so, some organisms depend on sound for
communication and locomotion such as whales, dolphins and bats.

The speed of sound varies from one medium to another (solid, liquid and
gas). Sound travels faster when the molecules are tightly packed like that of
solids. However, liquids are better conductors of sound than gases. For
instance, if you will strike two stones underwater and on air. Which would
produce louder sound? Yes, the sound produced underwater is louder that the
sound produced on air. With this, the propagation of sound depends on its
medium. This is due to the closeness of molecules in liquids compared to the
dispersed molecules in air. Remember that solids are closely packed, and
liquids are not as tightly packed compared to solids. However, gases are

SCIENCE 8_Q1 PHYSICS PAGE 10


loosely packed than liquids. Therefore, solids transmit sound best than liquids
and gases. Hence, sound travels fastest in solids and slowest in gases.

Since sound is a mechanical wave, it needs a medium for it to travel.


Hence, sound cannot travel in a vacuum. The absence of matter or medium
means the absence of sound just like in the outer space where air is negligible.

Lesson 2: Light

As a kid, you often think of some phenomena such as blue sky, rainbow
and red sunset seemingly natural as they ought to be. However, those
phenomena could be explained further through simple experiments. Since light
behave as a particle and a wave, it has properties and characteristics same as
electromagnetic wave (visible light). In this lesson, refraction of light will be
discussed through series of activities that will lead to the explanation of how
those phenomena occur.

SCIENCE 8_Q1 PHYSICS PAGE 11


Lesson 3: Heat and Temperature

Heat is a form of energy. In thermodynamics, heat is energy in transfer


to or from a thermodynamic system. It is the transfer of energy between objects
or places due to different temperature. You have learned in previous grades
that heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation, and
that heat transfers either through moving particles or electromagnetic waves.

In this lesson you will learn more about heat transfer, the factors that
affect the amount of heat that an object can absorb or release and describe
how these are related to the amount of heat transferred. You will also learn the
difference between heat and temperature at the molecular level.

Differentiate
between heat and
temperature at the
molecular level.

What’s More

3.1 Speed of Sound

The speed of sound may differ for different types of solids, liquids, and
gases. For one, the elastic properties are different for different materials. This
property (elastic property) is the tendency of a material to maintain its shape
and not deform when a force is applied to the object or medium. Steel for
example will experience a smaller deformation than rubber when a force is
applied to the materials. Steel is a rigid material while rubber can easily deform
and is known as a flexible material.

What other factors may affect the speed of sound in a medium? What
about temperature? Can the temperature of the medium affect how
sound moves?

The speed of sound in dry air at 0 0C is about 331.5 m/s. However, the speed
of sound in air is not constant. It is basically affected by three (3) different
factors, which are the atmospheric pressure, relative humidity and
atmospheric temperature.
At higher atmospheric pressure sound waves travel faster. This means that
in Baguio where the atmospheric pressure is relatively lower than at sea
level, sound is transmitted slowly as compared to how it is transmitted at
sea level where the atmospheric pressure is relatively higher.
Relative humidity also affects the speed of sound in air. The higher the
relative humidity, the faster the sound is transmitted. This is because at
higher relative humidity, there is more water vapor in the atmosphere which
makes the particles in the atmosphere a little closer than at low relative
humidity. Thus, transmission of sound is better in humid air than in dry air.

SCIENCE 8_Q1 PHYSICS PAGE 13


Materials Speed of Sound V (m/s)

Air (00C ) 331


He (00C ) 1005
H (200C) 1300
Water 1440
Seawater 1560
Iron and Steel 5000
Aluminum 5100
Hard wood 4000

Table 1: Speed of sound in different materials

Hotter areas transmit sound better than cooler areas. For every degree of rise
in air temperature above 0oC, the speed of sound in air increases by 0.6 m/s.

In symbols;
v = [331.5 + 0.6(T)] m/s
where:
v = speed of sound in air at a particular
temperature
T = temperature of the atmosphere
Sample problem:
At an atmospheric temperature of 40oC, what is the speed of sound in air?

v = [331.5 + 0.6(T)] m/s


v = [331.5 + 0.6 (40)]
v = 355.5 m/s

This is slightly faster than the speed of sound in dry air at 0oC which is only
about 331.5 m/s.
Try this problem!

Problem: What is the speed of sound in air of temperature 25ºCelsius?

___________________________________________________________

✓ Answer Key on Page 33

Dispersion is a special kind of refraction which provided us colors of


light. This phenomenon is observed when white light passes through a
triangular prism. When white light enters a prism, separation into different colors
is observed. The refractive indices of the different colors of light indicate that
light of different colors travels at different speeds in the prism which accounts
for the different degrees of bending. Thus, blue light with greater refractive
index refracts more and appears at the bottom of the red light.

✓ Answer Key on Page 33

A prism is needed to break the white light into the different colors of
light. With the different refractive indices of the colors of light, bending is also
different for each of the colors of light. Blue light is bent most. Thus, a rainbow
starts with the RED light being at the topmost and ends with the VIOLET light
being on the bottom of the bow? However, you saw the Blue at the bottom since
Violet light is not very visible.

You learned in your previous grade level


that moving objects possess kinetic
energy. All the objects that are moving
possess kinetic energy. Even the very small
things that you cannot see, like the particles
of objects, are also moving and have kinetic
energy.

The rate of scattering of the dye throughout the water differs in each
container. It can be inferred that the speed of the particles of water varies in
each container. Since kinetic energy depends on speed, the kinetic energies of
the particles also vary.

SCIENCE 8_Q1 PHYSICS PAGE 26


Generalization

The following concepts about sound, light, heat and temperature are drawn
out based on the given activities.

Sound
✓ Sound is a longitudinal wave. It is also considered as a mechanical
wave.
✓ Sound can be transmitted in solid, liquid or gas. It is best transmitted
in solids and poorest transmitted in gases.
✓ Sound cannot be transmitted in vacuum.
✓ Sound is slower than light. It travels only about 331.5 m/s in dry air.
✓ The speed of sound depends on temperature. It increases by 0.6 m/s
for each degree rise in temperature.

Light

✓ When light moves from one medium to another of a different density, the
speed changes, bringing about changes in the direction of the refracted
ray with respect to the normal line. This is known as refraction.
✓ Refraction of light, however, may result in a display of colors of light
when it passes through materials that can have varied refractive indices
for every wavelength of color that passes through them.
✓ A glass prism, for example, has varied refractive indices per wavelength
of color resulting in different bending angles of the refracted colors of
light with respect to the normal line. This phenomenon is better known
as dispersion.
✓ With the concept of dispersion, colors of light are hierarchically arranged
as ROYGBIV according to frequency and energy of the colors of light.
✓ Red happens to have the lowest frequency and the least energy.
✓ Energy and frequency increases as one moves from red light towards
violet light.

SCIENCE 8_Q1 PHYSICS PAGE 27


✓ This display of colors of lights by dispersion of white light is one of the
consequences of refraction of light aside from the apparent depth
mentioned above.

Heat and Temperature

✓ Heat is a form of energy while temperature is not.

✓ Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles


and does not depend on the mass of the object.

✓ Metals have low specific heat capacity. This makes them easy to heat
up and cool down.

✓ Heat Capacity (c) is the amount of heat needed by a material to increase


its temperature by a degree.

✓ Any gain in kinetic energy caused the temperature to increase.

✓ Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in


response to a change in temperature.
