6.
What is the similarity between pitch and frequency?
7.
Among water and steel, in which medium the sound wave will travel faster?
8.
A hearing aid that is attached to the ear helps people who suffer from hearing loss. What is the main function of the hearing aid?
9.
Three different vibrating objects produce three types of sounds X, Y and Z. The sounds X and Y cannot be heard by a man having normal range of hearing but sound Z can be heard easily. The sound X can be heard by a bat whereas sound Y can be heard by a rhinoceros. What type of sounds are X, Y and Z?
10.
Briefly, mention the experience when you touch a sound producing school bell?
11.
Explain the reason for not hearing of the screams of a bat by us.
12.
Explain how is the blind folded person able to guess which player is closest to her
13.
Explain the process, how bat sure ultrasonic waves to catch a prey
14.
Explain the process, how is sound produced in humans.
15.
A stretched string on being set into vibration, produce the audible sound. Explain how.
16.
Anjali's grandfather was talking to her about the quality of sound produced by different musical instruments. The instruments like sitar, harmonium, flute, etc., give us a pleasant sensation of hearing. The dholak on the other side creates a noise.
(a) Mention the name of the vibrating part of sitar.
(b) Briefly explain how the loudness is created by dholak.
(c) We hear a shrilling sound by flute. Explain why?
(d) Mention the values displayed by Anjali's grandfather
17.
Explain in brief about eardrum. Also explain how does it play an important role in hearing.
18.
A person having partial hearing loss can hear properly by using a device called.......aid.
19.
The other name of human voice box is............
20.
The time period is measured in............
21.
The loudness of sound is determined by the...........of vibration
22.
Sound which is pleasing to our ears is called..............
23.
Noise pollution may cause partial deafness
24.
Unwanted or unpleasant sound is termed as music
25.
Lower the frequency of vibration, higher is the pitch.
26.
For human ears, the audible range is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
27.
If the amplitude of vibration is large, sound is feeble.
1.
(c)
60 vibrations per minute
2.
(a)
sound
3.
(c)
15 mm
4.
(a)
20 Hz to 20 kHz
5.
(d)
solids, liquids and gases
6.
Pitch increases with increasing frequency. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave while a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
7.
The sound will travel faster in steel because speed of sound is fastest in solids.
8.
The hearing aid amplifies the sound sent from the surroundings.
9.
X sound is ultrasonic sound, Y sound is infrasonic sound and Z sound is audible sound.
10.
When we touch a sound producing bell, we feel the vibration in it.
11.
As we know that the audible frequency range for human being is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So, it is an obvious thing that the frequency of bat is beyond this range due to which, we are usually unable to hear the screams of a bat.
12.
The vibration due to the movement of closer player is more than others and the blind folded person easily imagine to which direction a player is nearer to her.
13.
Since, the ultrasonic waves produce by the bats are high pitched which are not heard by the human beings. So, these ultrasonic waves after striking the insect send back an echo which is heard by the bat and finally it gets over on the insect and catches it
14.
Since the voice box or the larynx in humans is the most important source of sound. So, two ligaments are known as vocal cords which are stretched across the larynx so that it leaves a narrow slit between them for the passage of air. Even when the lungs force air through the slit, the vocal cords vibrate producinq voice.
15.
A stretched string on being set into vibrations forces the surrounding air to vibrate and this vibrating air in them affects our eardrum and produces an audible sound.
16.
(a) String of sitar is a vibrating part of sitar.
(b) Since if we beat the dholak, then the membrane of dholak starts vibrating with high amplitude and as a fact, the loudness is directly proportional to the square of amplitude. Therefore, in the form of the loudness created by beating dholak
(c) The sound wave produced by flute is regular curving. So, there is no part of noise.Thus, we hear shrilling sound of flute.
(d) The values displayed by Anjali's grandfather are scientific methods and critical thinking.
17.
As, we all hear sound through our ears. The moment like eardrum when sound enters in outer part of ear then it travels down a canal at the end of which a thin membrane is stretched tightly which is called the eardrum. It performs an important function. The stretched rubber sheets like eardrum sound vibrations which make the them vibrate (see figure). In this way the eardrum sends vibrations to the inner ear and the signal goes to the brain.
