ANSWER KEY

Multiple choice Questions

1. C Sound will be louder but the pitch will be lower.

2. B. SONAR
3. C. decrease its amplitude of vibration of the sound.
4. B
5. A
6. A
7. D

Answer these questions

1. The frying pan will vibrate. We will not be able to hear the sound of vibration
because sound cannot travel in vacuum.

2. We know that speed = distance/time

Distance = speed x time = 330 x 5 = 1650 m =1.65 km

3. Number of oscillations = 10

Time taken = 20 seconds

Frequency = Number of oscillations per second

= 10/20 = 1/2 = 0.5 Hz

Time period = 1/frequency

= 1/0.5 = 10/5 = 2 seconds

4. It will create more loud sound in case of string stretched with a greater force
because amplitude is greater in this case and loudness depends on the amplitude.

5. Sound produced by the humming bees by vibrating their wings, lies in the audible
range of hearing 20 Hz to 20kHz, so it can be heard. While the sound of vibrations
of pendulum is less than 20 Hz. So it cannot be heard.

6. Diagram of ear
Case study based questions

(i) Pitch of sound is higher when

(a) Vibration of source of sound is higher
(ii) Loudness and softness of sound depends upon
(b) Amplitude of sound
(iii) Sound of single frequency is called
(b) Tone
(iv)If we strike a table lightly, we hear a soft sound. If we hit the table hard we
hear a louder sound up to large distance. Why?
If we hit the table hard we hear a louder sound because sound waves spread out
from its source. As it moves away from the source its amplitude as well as its
loudness decreases. Louder sound can travel a larger distance as it is associated
with higher energy.
(v) Determine which of the following has higher pitch car horn or guitar?
Pitch of sound depends on the frequency of vibration of waves and if the frequency
of vibration is higher we say that the sound has higher pitch. Pitch of the sound is
the response of our ear. So, basically guitar has 6 strings and the sharpness of
each string increases on going below. On the other hand, in car horns, there is flat
pitch with high noise which can affect anyone’s heart too. As guitar has higher
frequency than car horn as number of vibrations per unit time of guitar string are
more than car.
