Sound notes of class 8
NEW BRIGHTWAY COACHING CLASS 8 – SCIENCECHAPTER :
SOUNDQ1. What is sound ?Sound is a form of [Link]
sensation felt by our ears is called [Link] is produced due
to vibrations of objects. 2. HOW IS SOUND PRODUCED?Sound is
produced when an object vibrates (to and fro
motion).Examples:Plucked rubber stringVibrating rulerTuning
forkVocal cords in humans 3. VIBRATIONSVibration = rapid to and
fro motion of an [Link] is always produced by a vibrating
body. 4. SOUND PRODUCED BY HUMANSHumans produce sound
using the larynx (voice box).It is located at the top of the windpipe
(trachea).It has two vocal [Link] air from lungs passes
through vocal cords cords vibrate sound [Link]
vocal cords shrill soundLoose vocal cords deep sound 5.
SOUND NEEDS A MEDIUM FOR PROPAGATIONSound travels
through:SolidsLiquidsGasesSound cannot travel through vacuum.
*Bell Jar Experiment Conclusion Medium is necessary for sound
to travel.6. PROPAGATION OF SOUNDSound travels fastest
in:SolidsLiquidsGases 7. CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUND(A)
LoudnessDepends on amplitude of [Link] in decibel
(dB).Greater amplitude louder sound.(B) Pitch
(Shrillness)Depends on [Link] frequency shrill
soundLow frequency deep sound(C) Quality or TimbreHelps us
distinguish sounds from different sources even if loudness & pitch
are same.8. AMPLITUDE, TIME PERIOD &
FREQUENCYAmplitudeMaximum displacement from mean
[Link] [Link] PeriodTime taken for one
complete [Link] in seconds (s).FrequencyNumber of
vibrations per [Link] = Hertz (Hz).Relation between time
period and frequency::Time period = ( 1/ frequency)RANGE OF
SOUND FREQUENCIES(A) Audible Sound20 Hz – 20,000 HzHeard
by humans(B) Infrasonic SoundBelow 20 HzExample: Elephant(C)
Ultrasonic SoundAbove 20,000 HzExample: Bat, Dolphin 10.

SOUNDMediumSpeedAir. 340 m/sWater. 1500
m/sIron. 5000 m/s MOST LIKELY EXAM QUESTIONS Very
Short Answer (1 Mark)What produces sound?Ans: [Link] of
frequency?Ans: Hertz (Hz)Can sound travel in vacuum?Ans: No
Short Answer (2–3 Marks)Define [Link] is pitch?Why is
sound louder in solids? Long Answer (5 Marks)Explain how sound
is produced by humans with [Link] characteristics of
[Link] noise pollution and its [Link]-BASED
QUESTIONS (VERY IMPORTANT)Why does a tight rubber string
produce shriller sound? Because tight string vibrates with higher
[Link] can astronauts not hear each other directly in
space? Because sound cannot travel in [Link] do we hear
thunder after lightning? Light travels faster than [Link]
does a drum sound louder when hit hard? Greater force
