Class 9 Physics - Sound Chapter: Practice Questions

Q1. A school bell produces sound waves at a frequency of 500 Hz. If the speed of sound in air is

340 m/s, what is the wavelength of the sound produced?

Q2. A submarine sends out a SONAR pulse which returns after 2 seconds. If the speed of sound in

seawater is 1500 m/s, find the depth of the sea.

Q3. A sound wave has a wavelength of 2.5 m and travels at a speed of 330 m/s. What is its

frequency?

Q4. How much time will it take for a sound wave to travel 2 km in air if its speed is 343 m/s?

Q5. A person claps his hands and hears an echo after 0.2 seconds from a nearby wall. If the speed

of sound in air is 340 m/s, how far is the wall from him?

Q6. A tuning fork produces a sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz. If the speed of sound in air is

340 m/s, find the time period of the sound wave.

Q7. State how the loudness of a sound wave changes if its amplitude is doubled.

Q8. State two differences between longitudinal and transverse waves with examples.

Q9. Explain why sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

Q10. A radar detects an aircraft at a distance and the echo is received after 0.02 seconds. If the

speed of the radar wave is 3 x 10^8 m/s, calculate how far away the aircraft is.

Q11. What is the relation between frequency and time period? If a wave has a frequency of 50 Hz,

what is its time period?

Q12. A whale communicates with another whale by producing sound waves of wavelength 10 m at a

speed of 1500 m/s. Calculate the frequency of the sound.

Q13. If a sound wave travels through a solid at 5000 m/s and has a frequency of 2500 Hz, what is

its wavelength?
Q14. Why do we hear thunder after we see lightning?

Q15. A bat emits an ultrasonic wave and hears its echo after 0.01 seconds. If the speed of sound is

344 m/s, how far is the obstacle?
