    This document contains a chapter on sound from a 7th standard textbook. It includes 17 questions and answers about the basics of sound. Key points covered include: 1) Sound is produced by vibrations of an object. An object must vibrate to produce sound. 2) Sound travels through air, which is a gas, to reach our ears, such as the sound of a ringing telephone bell. 3) Vocal cords in the voice box vibrate when we speak, producing sound. Air from the lungs makes the vocal cords vibrate. 4) The pitch of men's, women's, and children's voices differs due to differences in the pitch, which depends on the vibration frequency.

    Chapter – 6(Physics)

    Sound
    Std-7
    Answer the following questions
    1.How is sound produced?
    Ans: Sound is produced by the vibrations of an object.
    2.What should an object do to produce sound?
    Ans:An object should vibrate to produce sound.
    3.What brings the sound of a ringing telephone bell to
    our ears?
    Ans: Sound of ringing telephone bell travels to us
    through the air in the room
    which is a gas.
    4.(a)What is the name of the strings in the human
    voice box which vibrate
    to produce sound?
    Ans: vocal cords in our voice box vibrate rapidly when
    we speak ,to produce
    sound.
    (b) What makes this strings vibrate?
    Ans:When we talk ,air from the lungs passes up the
    wind pipe .This air makes
    the vocal cords in our voice box to vibrate
    rapidly.And vibrating vocal
    cords produce the sound.
    5.why are the voices of men ,women and children
    different?
    Ans: Pitch is that characteristic of sound by which we
    can distinguish between different
    Sounds of the same loudness.we can
    differentiate the voice as they differ in their
    Pitch.
    6.If you want to hear a train approaching from far
    away ,why is it more convenient to
    Put the ear to the track?
    Ans: If a train is very far away from us,we cannot hear
    the sound of approaching train
    through the air.But if we put our ear to the
    railway line made of steel ,then we
    can hear the sound of the coming train easily
    even if it is quite far away.This is
    due to the fact that sound travels much more
    faster through the railway line
    made of steel than through air.
    7.What is meant by the (a)Loudness (b)Pitch and
    (c)Sound Quality or Timbre of sound
    Ans(a)Loudness: it is that characteristic property of
    sound which is direct to the square of amplitude of
    vibrations .The loudness of sound expressed in the unit
    called decidel .(db)
    (b)Pitch : Pitch is the shrillness or flatness of the sound
    which depends upon the
    Frequency .The pitch of a sound is directly
    proportional to its frequency.
    (c) Quality or Timbre of sound: quality is that
    characteristic of sound which enables
    us to distinguish between the sounds
    produced by different sound
    Producing objects even if they are of the
    same loudness and pitch.
    8.(a)What is vibration (or an oscillation)Define
    ‘ampitude’,frequency and Time-period of vibration of
    an object.

    Ans: Vibration is one complete to and fro movement


    of the pendulum bob in one vibration or oscillation.
    Amplitude: The maximum distance to which
    the bob of a vibrating pendulum goes from its central
    position is called amplitude of vibrations.
    Frequency: The number of vibrations made per
    second by a vibrating body is called the frequency of
    vibrations .The unit of frequency of vibration is hertz.
    Time-period: The time taken by pendulum bob
    to complete one vibration is called the time-period of
    pendulum.
    9.Write the relationship between frequency and time
    period
    Ans: Time-period is the time required to make 1
    vibration and frequency is the number Of vibrations
    made in 1 second This means that time-period is equal
    to the reciprocal of frequency. Time-period
    =1/frequency
    10.What are longitudinal waves?
    Ans: Particles of the medium through which the
    sound travels ,vibrate parallel to the direction that the
    sound wave moves .Such a type of wave is called
    longitudinal wave.
    11.What is rarefaction and compression with
    reference to longitudinal wave?
    Ans: Rarefaction: When the air molecules expand
    into a large region of space .This is known as
    rarefaction.
    Compression: When air molecules compress into
    a small region of space is known as compression.
    12.Explain compression and rarefaction with a
    diagram
    Ans:Fig 6.6 page 108
    13. How can the pitch of sound produced in a piano
    be changed?
    Ans: Pitch of sound produced in a piano can be
    changed by changing the frequency .
    14.Write the approximate speed of sound in (a)air ,
    (b)water and (c)steel
    Ans:speed of sound in air is 340 m/s
    Speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s
    Speed of sound in steel is 5000 m/s

    15.During a thunderstorm ,the sound of thunder is


    heard after the lightning is seen
    Why?
    Ans: It is due to the very high speed of light that we
    see the flash of lightning first and
    It is due to comparatively low speed of sound
    that the thunder is heard a little later.
    16.Explain sound needs a medium for propagation
    Ans: The substance through which sound travels is
    called medium. Sound can travel
    through soids ,liquids and gases because the
    molecules of solids ,liquids and gases
    carry sound waves from one place to another.
    Sound cannot travel through vacuum
    because vacuum has no molecules which can
    vibrate and carry sound waves. So a
    material medium like air, water ,wood etc, is
    necessary for the transmission of
    sound from the source of sound to our ears.
    17.How is loudness of sound affected when amplitude
    of vibrations is doubled and
    when it is halved?
    Ans: If the amplitude of vibrations is doubled ,then
    the loudness will become four times
    And if the amplitude of vibrations is halved ,then
    the loudness will become
    one-fourth.
