Explain how sound is produced by your school bell.
Select the correct alternative :
Sound travels the fastest in
If 20 waves are produced per second, What is the frequency is hertz?
If a ringing bicycle bell is held tightly by hand, it stops producing sound. Why?
Describe a simple experiment to show that the prongs of a sound producing tuning fork are vibrating.
A device called oscillator is used to send waves along a stretched string. The string is 20 cm long, and four complete waves fit along its length when the oscillator vibrates 30 times per second. For the waves on the strings.
(a) what is their wavelength?
(b) what is their frequency
(c) what is their speed?
A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media W, X, Y and Z between the sound producing body and the man. The medium X brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium Z takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium W in bringing sound to man is less than that of X but more than that of Z. The medium Y, however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one :
(a) having on fixed shape and no fixed volume?
(b) having a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
(c) having the same composition as that on the moon?
(d) having a fixed shape and a fixed volume?
In the sound wave produced by a vibrating turning fork shown in the diagram, half the wavelength is represented by :
Figure X shows a trace of a sound wave produced by a particular tuning fork :
(a) On the graph paper given in Figure Y, draw a trace of the sound wave which has a higher frequency than that shown in figure X.
(b) On the graph paper show in Figure Z, draw a trace of the sound wave which has a larger amplitude than that shown in Figure X.
Describe an experiment to show that sound cannot travel through vaccum.
