FULL MARKS:65
1.One hollow object and one solid object are made of same material.Sound
produced by the hollow object is more intense and stay for longer times than
the sound produced by the solid object.Explain the reason. 3
2.What happens to the equilibrium position of the atoms when we start
vibrating the object?Explain the mechanism of propagation of sound due to
this vibration. 2+2
3.Why sound does not travel in vacuum? 2
4. Why do flying bees buzz? 2
5. What does it mean to say that a radio station is “at 101.1 on your FM
dial”? 2
6. Sound from source A has twice the frequency of sound from Source B.
Compare the wavelengths of sound from the two sources 3
7.. If the frequency of a sound is doubled, what change will occur in its
speed? What change happens to its wavelength? 2+2
8. If a sound becomes louder, which wave characteristic is likely 1
increasing?
9.A car is approaching towards you and the driver constantly pressing the
horn. You will hear the increasing loudness of the sound. Explain that sound
wave is a longitudinal wave with this idea. 3
10.How change in density is related with frequency of sound wave?If you
drop a ball on the surface of water and drop the same ball on the surface of
honey having the same volume,you will hear two different sound.The sound
produced in water is louder than the sound produced in honey.Explain this
difference in loudness in terms of density and energy point of view properly
Draw the wave patterns of these two waves. 3+2
11.In which of the three media-air, water or steel does sound travel the
fastest?why? 1+2
12.You are reading in your reading room and you can hear the dialogues of
one of your favorite TV serial coming from the drawing room.Which
property of sound is helping you to hear these dialogue?.Mention the name
of another wave which shows this same property. 1+1
13.Calculate the wavelength of a sound whose frequency is 220 Hz and
speed is 440 in a given medium. 3
14.A stone is dropped from a 500 m tall building into a pond. When is sound
splash heard? Given g=10 m/s2 , speed of sound = 340 m/s. 2
15.A man standing in a valley between two parallel mountains fires a gun
and hears echo at an interval of 2 s and 3.5s. what is a) the distance between
two mountains b) the location of the man with respect to the mountain? 4
16.Kirti is standing between two hills.She shouted loudly and hears first
echo after 0.5 sec and second echo after 1 sec. what is distance between two
hills? If 2000 ripples produced in 5 sec in a pond find time period and
frequency of ripples formation. 3+3
17.How speed of sound is dependent on temperature in any
medium?Why?1+2
18.Give two examples of multiple reflections of sound. 1+1
19.A source of wave produces 40 crests and 40 troughs in 0.4 second. Find
the frequency of the wave. 2
20.Mention the name of two animals which can produces Ultrasound?what
is the range of this sound? 1+1
21.Why does the production of this Ultrasound sound help bat and explain
why they would not get any benefit for finding food if they would produce
infrasound or audible sound?Give two applications of ultrasound 2+2
22.A Queen Mary submarine having length 90 meters emits a sonar
pulse,which returns from an underwater metallic object of 200m3 volume in
1.02 s.If the speed of sound in salt water is 1531 m/s,find the distance
between Queen Mary and the metallic object. 3
