  1. 1. Sound is produced by:
    • (a) vibrating objects
    • (b) heating
    • (c) still objects
    • (d) lightning only
  2. 2. Sound cannot travel through a:
    • (a) solid
    • (b) gas
    • (c) vacuum
    • (d) liquid
  3. 3. Sound waves are:
    • (a) electromagnetic
    • (b) longitudinal
    • (c) transverse
    • (d) stationary only
  4. 4. The wave equation is:
    • (a) v = f + λ
    • (b) v = fλ
    • (c) v = f/λ
    • (d) v = λ/f
  5. 5. Why is sound called a mechanical wave?
  6. 6. What is reverberation?
  7. 7. Explain the formation of an echo and the condition required to hear it.

  1. 1. (a) vibrating objectsVibrating objects produce sound.
  2. 2. (c) vacuumA vacuum has no particles to carry sound.
  3. 3. (b) longitudinalSound travels as a longitudinal wave.
  4. 4. (b) v = fλSpeed = frequency × wavelength.
  5. 5. Because it needs a material medium to travel and cannot pass through a vacuum.
  6. 6. The persistence of sound caused by repeated reflections in an enclosed space.
  7. 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.
