CHAPTER: SOUND
ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS

1) To hear a distinct echo each time interval between the original

sound and the reflected sound must be:

(a) 0.2 s (b) 1s (c) 2s (d) 0.1 s

2) On increasing the temperature, the speed of sound in air:

(a) Increases

(b) Decreases

(c) Does not change

(d) First increases then becomes constant

3) Reverberation of sound is used in
 (a) Stethoscope
(b) Trumpets
  (c) Megaphone
  (d) All of these
4) The bats can fly in the darkness of night without colliding with
the other objects by emitting special sounds while flying. Which
characteristic of sound is used by the bats to navigate?

Answer: Bats use echolocation to navigate and find food in the

dark. To echolocate, bats send out sound waves from the mouth or
nose.

5) An echo is returned in 6 seconds. What is the distance of

reflecting surface from source? [Given that speed of sound is 342
m/s.]

Answer: Time taken = 6 seconds = t

Speed =d/t
Speed=342m/s
Distance =s*t
=342*6
=2052metres
Echo distance =2052/2
=1026metres

6) Prepare a short note on ‘echocardiography’.

answer: An echocardiogram uses electrodes to check your heart
rhythm and ultrasound technology to see how blood moves through
your heart. An echocardiogram can help your doctor diagnose heart
conditions.
