- 1. Sound is produced by:
- (a) vibrating objects
- (b) heating
- (c) still objects
- (d) lightning only
- 2. Sound cannot travel through a:
- (a) solid
- (b) gas
- (c) vacuum
- (d) liquid
- 3. Sound waves are:
- (a) electromagnetic
- (b) longitudinal
- (c) transverse
- (d) stationary only
- 4. The wave equation is:
- (a) v = f + λ
- (b) v = fλ
- (c) v = f/λ
- (d) v = λ/f
- 5. Why is sound called a mechanical wave?
- 6. What is reverberation?
- 7. Explain the formation of an echo and the condition required to hear it.
View answers
- 1. (a) vibrating objects — Vibrating objects produce sound.
- 2. (c) vacuum — A vacuum has no particles to carry sound.
- 3. (b) longitudinal — Sound travels as a longitudinal wave.
- 4. (b) v = fλ — Speed = frequency × wavelength.
- 5. Because it needs a material medium to travel and cannot pass through a vacuum.
- 6. The persistence of sound caused by repeated reflections in an enclosed space.
- 7. An echo is heard when sound reflects off a distant surface and returns to the listener. Because the sensation of sound persists for about 0.1 s, the reflected sound must arrive at least 0.1 s after the original. In air (speed ≈ 344 m/s), this needs the reflecting surface to be at least about 17 m away.
