Fill in the blanks.
Answer:
Question 1.
A musical instrument takes 2 seconds to complete 200 oscillations then calculate frequency of it.
Answer:
Question 4.
Define frequency and periodic time. Represent the relation of them by a formula.
Answer:
Frequency: The number of vibrations or oscillations per second is called frequency.
Time period: Time required to complete one oscillation or vibration is called time period.
Following is the relationship between frequency and time period.
Question 1.
Draw an human vocal system diagram and explain its working principle.
Answer:
The sound is produced by the voice of sound box or the larynx in human. It is located in the throat. Below to it is the wind pipe. The two vocal cords, are stretched across the voice box or larynx in such a way that it leaves a narrow slit between them for the passage of air. When the lungs force air through the slit, the vocal cords vibrate and the vibration results in sound.
Question 2.
What is noise pollution? How does it affect us? How can it controlled? Explain it in detail.
Answer:
The disturbance (irregular sound waves) produced in the environment by the undesirable, loud and harsh sound from the various sources is called noise pollution.
Noise pollution is a recent phenomenon of the twentieth century. Increasing dependence of the man on various kinds of machines at home, at work place in factories etc., has contributed a lot to the noise pollution.
The noise pollution at a particular place is determined by following:
(a) Loudness of the sound
(b) Duration of noise at a particular place.
Harmful effects:
Preventive and control of noise:
In the modern society we can not eliminate noise, but can lower its level to bearable limits by taking following measures:
Question 3.
Explain the process of receiving the sound signals to brain with labelled diagram of human ear.
Answer:
Outer ear receives the vibrations and transmits them to the ear canal. The canal carries the vibration that stricke a stretched membrane called the ear drum. From the ear drum the vibration passes to the middle ear. Middle ear has three delicate bones-hammer, anvil and stirrup. These bones pass on the vibrations to the inner ear. Inner ear: It has a coiled tube called the cochlea. Tiny hairs in this liquid filled tube pick up vibrations from the middle ear. They send a signal to the brain through the auditory nerve and we hear the sound.
Question 4.
How is sound transmitted in solid and gases? Explain it.
Answer:
Sound travels through different medium:
(a) Sound transmission in gas:
Sound travels through air from its place of origin and reaches to our ears. In air it travels through vibration, when object vibrates, then atoms of air also vibrates, every vibrated atom transfer propagates this vibration to next atoms. In this way a wave of sound reaches to our ear where it strikes with the ear drum, and it starts vibrating and we listen sound.
(b) Sound transmission in solid:
Take lm scale, 2 cm long metal wire and 2 m long thread, keep one end of the scale on owner and ask your friend to create sound by light rubbing of other end of scale with nails. Repeat the same by stretching and rubbing metal wire and thread. The vibrations produced at first end reaches to the other end. Hence, it is clear that sound also travels through solids. In labs when turning forks are vibrated and brought near to the ear, sound is heard.

Question 15.
How do we feel sound?
Answer:
Sound produces vibration in eardrum. It send to brain through ear cavity by which we feel sound.
Question 1.
The pulse rate of a man is 80 beats in one minute. Calculate its frequency.
Answer:
Pulse rate of man is 80 beats in one minute.
No. of beats = No. of vibrations = 80 Time period = 1 minute = 60 sec
∴ Frequency = [latex]\frac { 80 }{ 60 }[/latex] =1.33 Hz
Question 2.
Explain loudness or intensity of sound.
Answer:
Loudness is the characteristic of a sound which distingushes a feeble sound from a loud sound of the some frequency. When the amplitude of a vibrating body increases loudness increases. We can also say that when surface area of the vibrating bodies increases loudness increases.
Question 3.
Derive a relationship between the time period and frequency of a wave.
Answer:
The time required to complete one wave is equal to the time period (T) of the wave.
Thus, Number of wave produced in T seconds = 1
then, number of wave produced in 1 sec = [latex]\frac { 1 }{ T }[/latex]
But as per definition, the number of waves produced in one second is equal to the frequency (V). Therefore,
Question 4.
Distinguish between musical sound and Noise.
Answer:
The difference between musical sound and noise are:
Musical Sound | Noise |
(i) It is pleasant to hear. | (i) Jarring and unpleasant to hear. |
(ii) The pitch and loudness do not change suddenly. | (ii) The pitch and loudness change very much. |
(iii) The sound is repeated periodically. | (iii) There is no periodic repetitions of frequency. |
Question 5.
What is noise pollution. How can we control noise pollution?
Answer:
As we know that the unpleasant sounds are called noise. High pitched noise is usually more annoying than low pitched noise. Noise can damage the ears, cause of tiredness and loss of concentration. If it is very loud, it may even result in sickness and temporary deafness. Some commonly heard noise are those made by flying air craft, moving vehicles, greatly amplified music, and machinery including domestic appliances.
Such unwanted noise can be reduced by:
Question 1.
Differentiate between Loundness and Pitch.
Answer:
The following are the differences between loundness and pitch:
Loudness | Pitch |
(i) Loudness depends upon the extent of amplitude of the vibrating body. | (i) Pitch is the effect produced in the brain by the sound of some particular frequency. |
(ii) Loudness of sound is determined by the amount of energy received by the ear in unit time, i.e. the more the energy received, the louder is the sound. | (ii) Pitch does not depend upon the amount of energy received by the ear. |
(iii) Loudness does not change with the change in frequency. | (iii) Pitch changes with the change in frequency. As a rule, a lower frequency will produce a bass sound, whereas a higher frequency will produce a shrill sound. |
