This module will give you the range of information needed in the learning
process. This will allow you to explore and learn more about the key concepts
in Physics including sound, light, heat and temperature. These are interrelated
concepts. In this module, other forms of energy such as sound, light and heat
will be discussed. The differences between heat and temperature will be tackled
also.
Direction: Choose the letter of the best answer. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.
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.
The new lessons will discuss about the basic concept of sound, light,
heat and temperature which are interrelated.
1. Sound
2. Light
3. Heat and Temperature
Lesson 1: Sound
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!

Materials Objective
At the end of the activity,
a sunny window
you will be able to infer that:
plastic container filled with

Q6. What did you notice with the corresponding energies from Red to
Violet?
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
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.
Objective
At the end of this activity,
you should be able to
explain the scattering of the
dye in water at different
temperatures.
Procedure
1. Fill the three containers separately with cold water, tap water, and hot
water.
2. Measure the temperature of the water in each container. Record your
measurements in the table below.
Container 1
Container 2
Container 3
3. With the dropper, place a drop of dye into the center of each container as
shown in Figure 1.
(Note: It is better if you place drops of dye into the three samples
simultaneously.)
4. Carefully observe and compare the behavior of the dye in the three
containers. Write down your observations in the given table
Q1. What similarities and differences did you observe when a drop of dye
was added to each container?

Q2. In which container did the dye scatter the fastest? In which di it
scatters the slowest?
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
Q3. How do you relate the temperature of the water to the rate of scattering
of the dye?
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
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.
Q4. In which container is/are the particles of water moving fastest? In which
container are the particles moving slowest?

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