ACTIVITY
SOUND AND ITS
MEDIUM
OBJECTIVES:
a) describe how sound produced and
propagates in mediums,
b) demonstrate an activity showing the
propagation and transmission of sound; and,
c) realize the importance of sound in
communications and in our surroundings .

TASK
All you need to do is to go to your station and will
have 5 minutes to demonstrate and answer the guide
questions in every station. Then, after that you will
rotate and have another 5 minutes to demonstrate and
answer in the next station.
LABSAFE rules:
L- Learn and follow instructions carefully.
A- Avoid roaming around.
B- Be aware of the allotted time.
S- Safety first while handling the equipment.
A-Adhere collaborations and teamwork
F- Focus on accuracy and precision.
E-Engage on asking questions from your teacher.

MEDIUMS

Matter is better known as

medium.
QUESTIONS:
1. If you brought closer the tuning fork in the surface of the jar.
What do you think is the movement of the particles or molecules
of the sand?
2. Can sound travel in solid?
3. Is it louder or soft?
4. How about its particle movement? Is it faster or slower?
5. How can sound travel faster in solid?
Sound travel fastest through solid. The
particles in solid are closer together than in
gas or liquid. This means that vibrations are
more easily passed from particle to particle.
QUESTIONS:
1. what about in water? Have you ever heard
noises underwater?
2. Is it loud or soft?
3. What do you think is the movement of the
particles of water, when sound moves in
underwater?
4. How can sound travel in water?
Sound waves travel faster in denser substances because particles
are closer together, allowing them to bump into each other more
easily. Water particles have less space between them compared to
air, making sound propagate more efficiently through water.
QUESTIONS:
1. How about in air? Can sound travel in air?
2. Is its louder or weak?
3. It is faster or slower?
4. Why does sound travel slower in air?
Sound travel slowly in air, because air particles
is far apart from each other, which is why sound
takes longer to reach us.

Spacing of particles of the medium likes solid,

liquid and gas is an important factor on how fast
sound would be transmitted.
How is sound produced
in your activity?
What is vibration?

What do you think is

happening to the
surrounding particles when
vibration hits?
Sound is produced when a matter
vibrates. And these vibration
travels outwards from a source.
QUESTIONS:
1. What do you think is a type of waves is sound waves?

2. Why is a sound wave a longitudinal wave?

3. What do you think is the movement of the molecules in

longitudinal waves?
Longitudinal wave Rarefaction

Compression
Different media transmit
sound differently and sound
travels at different speeds in
different materials. Since
solid is the best transmitter
of sound, sound
travels fastest in solids and
slowest in gases.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can sound travel in space?

2. Why sound cannot travel in outer space?

3. Have you heard a thunder?

4. Which comes first? Lightning or thunder?

5. Why lightning comes before thunder?

Here on earth light travel faster than sound
because in air light travel in 300 m/s than
sound that in travel 340 meters/ second in
the sky.
QUESTIONS:
1. If supposedly there no molecules or any present of matter or
vibration, can sound still produced?

2. Why sound cannot produced?

3. How is molecules importance in making sound especially in our

daily communications?

4. What do you think is the importance of sound when it comes to

our surrounding?
Directions: In a ¼ sheet of paper, Identify the following
questions.
1. It is a form of energy that helps in hearing to living
beings.
2. What is called to the matter in which sound travel, such
as air, water or solids?
3. In which medium, does sound travel the fastest?
4. It is a type of wave that travels in a back and forth
movement.
5. In which medium, does sound travel the slowest?
 For your assignment, study about
the wavelength and frequency of a
longitudinal wave. Write it in a ½
sheet of pad paper.
