Question 1. What does voice box or larynx of human produces?
Ans – The voice box or the larynx produces sound.

Question 2. In which medium sound propagates the maximum?
Ans – In solid medium the sound propagates the maximum.
Question 3. Name the sound producing organ in human.
Ans – Larynx is the sound producing organ in human.
Question 4. What is vibration?
Ans – Vibration is the to and fro motion of a vibrating body which produces sound.
Question 5. Do all bodies produce sound?
Ans – No, all bodies don’t produce sound. Eg.- Vacuum
Question 6. How is sound produced?
Ans – Sound is produced from a vibrating body. The vibrating body causes the medium (water,
air, etc.) around it to vibrate thus producing sound. The sound is produced when something
vibrates .
Question 7. Name a musical instrument which produces sound by blowing air into it.
Ans - Flute
Question 8. What is the unit of frequency?
Ans - Hertz
Question 9. What do you mean amplitude?
Ans – Amplitude of vibration of a vibrating body is the maximum displacement of a vibrating
body or a medium particle from its position of rest.
Question 10. What is the maximum displacement of an oscillating object is called?
Ans - Amplitude
Question 11. How does sound help us?
Ans – Sound helps us to communicate.
Question 12. What is the unit of loudness?
Ans - Decibels
Question 13. What is audible sound?
Ans – Audible sound is the sound that we humans can hear. It’s range is 20 Hz to 20kHz.
Question 14. In which medium sound travels faster?
Ans – In solid medium sound travels faster.
Very Short answer type –
Question 1. A simple pendulum makes 20 oscillations in 40 seconds. What is the
time period and frequency of its oscillation?
Ans – Frequency – 20/40 = 0.5 Hz
Time period – 1/0.5 = 2 seconds
Question 2. Sonali heard sound of thunderbolt 5 second after she saw flash of
lightning. How far is she from the place where lightning occurs? (speed of sound =
330 m/s)
Ans – D=S*T
=(330*5)m
=1650 m
Question 3. What is frequency?
Ans – Frequency is the number of vibrations completed in once second.
Question 4. What do you mean by oscillatory motion?
Question 5. Two astronauts are floating close to each other in space. Can they talk
to each other without using any special device? Give reasons.
Ans - No, since space has vacuum and air cannot travel through vacuum, therefore without the
usage of any special device talking would be impossible.
Question 6. What do you mean by time period?
Ans - The time taken for one complete oscillation to occur is called the Time Period.
Question 7. What are the harms of noise pollution?
Ans – Noise pollution causes anxiety, hypertension, stress, insomnia etc.
Question 8. What do you mean by audible sound?
Question 9. What are infrasonic sounds?
Ans – Infrasonic sounds are those sounds which have a frequency below 20 Hz.
Question 10. What is noise pollution?
Ans - The presence of loud, unwanted and disturbing sound in our environment is called noise
pollution.
Long Answer Questions -
Question 1. State the differences between ultrasonic sound and infrasonic sound?
Ans -
ULTRASONIC SOUND INFRASONIC SOUND
Sounds which have a frequency more than Sounds which have a frequency less than 20
20kHz. Hz.
Question 2. What are the methods to control noise pollution?

Question 3. What is the property of vibration which determines the pitch of the
sound?
Ans - Frequency
Question 4. Define frequency.
Question 5.A string musical instrument was first plucked with a force of smaller
magnitude and then with a force of greater magnitude. In which case would the
instrument produce a louder sound?
Ans – The string plucked with a force of greater magnitude would produce a louder sound
Question 6. Differentiate between musical sound and noise.
Music Noise
Music is produced by regular vibrations. Noise is produced by irregular vibrations.
It is pleasant to our ears. It is unpleasant to our ears.
It does not cause noise pollution. It causes pollution.

Question 1. How is sound produced and how is it transmitted and heard by us?
Question 2. Suppose a bell is ringing in a vacuum. Will you able to hear the sound?
Ans – No, since sound needs a medium to travel and it cannot travel through vacuum.
Question 3. What is the function of hair and wax in ear canal?
Ans -
Question 4. When we speak and hear, does any part of our body vibrate? Name
them.
Ans – When we speak the larynx behind the trachea vibrates. When we hear the eardrum in our
outer ear vibrates to transmit the sound to the middle ear.
Question 5. We have learnt that vibration is necessary for producing sound. Explain
why the sound produced by every vibrating body cannot be heard by us.
Ans -
Question 6. Why we are able to hear sound of a clock clearer at night than in day?
Ans – We are able to hear sound of a clock clearer at night since the noise levels in the
surrounding places is quite lower than in the day since, most of the roads in the day time are quite
busy.
