What This Module is About

Giggle, whistle, growl, beep, click, these are just a few of the common sounds that
you hear every day. From the moment your mother conceived you in the womb, you have
already perceived the sense of hearing. As you live each day, you learn to respond to the
different sounds around you. You are awakened by the loud ringing of your alarm clock early
in the morning. A knock on your door informs you that it’s time to prepare for school. Then
you hear the voice of your friend calling you to walk to school together.

“The Science of Sound has gone all the way from a mere transfer of energy to the
creation of tunes and music of entertainment. Most of our gadgets are sound embedded to
amuse us. In the field of geology and oceanography, sound is used to determine depths.
The health sciences are also using sound for medical purposes. Some animals are
dependent on sound for movement. The newest focus of sound science is on ecology where
ecological patterns and phenomena are predicted based on sounds released by the different
components of the ecosystem.” 1

Can you imagine a world without sounds? Indeed, our life is filled with a multitude of
sounds that help us communicate, learn, discover, respond, and adapt in a fast changing
world. This module will introduce you to interesting concepts of sound which includes sound
propagation, reflection and refraction of sounds, and how temperature affects the speed of
sound.

What I Need to Know

After going through this module, you should be able to:

1. infer how the movement of particles of an object affects the speed of sound through
it; and
2. investigate the effect of temperature to speed of sound through fair testing.

 Lesson Propagation of Sound
1
What I Need to Know

All sounds are produced by vibrations. When you pluck a guitar string, it vibrates and
produces a sound. When the wind blows through a tree, the leaves vibrate and produced a
rustling sound. When sound waves reach you ears, the waves cause your eardrums to
vibrate. 2

In grade seven, you have learned that sound is a form of mechanical wave. This
means that sound requires a medium so that it can be transported from one location to another.
A medium (plural: media) is anything that allows the transfer of energy. In our topic these include
solid, liquid, and gas. Did you ever wonder why we can see the bright stars at night but never
heard how they sound like? As said, sound needs a medium to travel, and since space is close
to vacuum (empty space) sound is hardly heard. Sound cannot travel through vacuum.

At the end of this lesson, you must be able to demonstrate that sound travels through
solid, liquid, and gas. You will discover through simple activities of which medium sound
travel fastest. You will also find out how the temperature of the medium affects the speed of
sound. Lastly, you will be familiarized with the concepts of reflection and refraction of sound
which you commonly experience every day.

 What’s New

Activity 1: Compare Me
Objective:

At the end of the activity, you must:

1. infer that sound is transmitted in solid and air through vibrations of air particles;
and
2. compare how sound travel through solid and air.

Materials:
 pencil or ruler
 table or desk

Procedures:

1. Place your ear against one end of a table top. Ask a

friend to gently tap the other end of the table with a
pencil or a ruler. Observe what happens.

Source: https://shutr.bz/3g4ze4V

2. Then ask your friend to gently tap the other end of the
table but this time makes sure that your ear is not
touching the table. Observe and compare what you heard
from number 1.

Source: https://shutr.bz/3g4ze4V

Q1. On which situation did you encounter louder and more pronounced sound?

Q2. On which situation did you encounter sound quietly?

2
Activity 2: Dance with Me

Objective:
At the end of the activity, learners will be able to infer that sound is transmitted in air
through vibrations of air particles.

Materials:
1 rubber band
1 piece plastic sheet/cellophane
1 empty big can or plastic container (enough to put a phone inside)
1 pinch of sugar
cell phone/radio/speaker

Procedure:

1. Get an empty can or container. Make sure it is clean before using it in the experiment.
2. Turn on the music of your cell phone and put it inside the can.
3. Cover the opening of an empty can with a piece of plastic or cellophane and secure it
tightly with a rubber band.
4. Spread some grains of sugar on top of the plastic.
5. Observe the sugar what happens to the sugar.
6. This time, remove the phone from the container and put the cover back. Again, place
some grains of sugar on top of the plastic.
7. This time place the phone near the container while it is playing. Explore the changes
of the behavior of sugar while turning the volume at different levels.

If cellphone is not available, you may use radio or speakers, or anything that can produce
sound like hitting a can with a piece of stone.

Q1. What did you observe with the sugar particles while the phone is playing inside the can?

Q2. Compare the movement of the sugar if the cell phone is inside the can. How about if
the cell phone is outside the can? How about when you change the phone’s volume?

Q3. Based on your observations, why did the sugar particles move?

3
 What Is It

Sound travels as a wave of mechanical vibrations through a medium (solid, liquid,

gas). In Activity 1 you heard a louder sound when the table was tapped while your ear is
against its surface than when your ear was not touching the table. This shows that sound
waves can travel through wood or solid and even in air. Through which material does sound
travel the fastest? Try to recall the molecular arrangement of the molecules of solid, liquid
and gas.

Figure 1. A model for the three states of matter (Source: https://bit.ly/3dKAfxs)

Comparing Solids, Liquids, and Gases

Characteristics Solid Liquid Gas

Intermolecular Particles are in fixed Particles close Particles far apart
spacing position together
Volume Has fixed volume and Has fixed volume and Takes the volume and
shape takes the shape of the shape of the container
container

Ability to flow Does not flow Does not flow Flow easily
Compressibility Cannot be Cannot be Can be compressed
compressed easily compressed easily easily

Density More dense Denser Less dense

Molecules in solids are closer to each other compared to liquid, so the sound
vibration (wave) can transfer from one molecule to the next more easily. So sound waves
travel fastest in solid, then in liquid, and gas.

4
 In Activity 2, you had fun watching the sugar dance with the music. The sugar is a
representation of air particles when they are bothered. The disturbance encountered by the
sugar is the reason the sugar bounce up and down. In Grade 7, you discussed that energy is
transferred or transmitted from one object to another. Bouncing sugar is also a process of
energy transmission. In the activity you can infer that sound waves are vibrations that move
through the air and that sound is transported through oscillation of air particles.

Sound is a form of a wave. If you have recalled, a wave has its lowest point called
the trough and the highest point called the crest. In transporting sound, the waves are
characterized as longitudinal waves. These are waves that travel parallel to the motion of
particles. Longitudinal waves are waves that are usually created by pulling and pushing the
material or medium just like in the slinky or spring. You can observe the alternating
compression and rarefaction (Figure 2). A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave
where the particles are closest together while a rarefaction is a region where the particles
are furthest apart. On the other hand another type of wave called the transverse wave is a
wave where the movement of the particles are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or
path of propagation (Figure 3). Sound wave is not a transverse wave.

1. Compare the clearness of sound of the boy shouting behind the wall and the boy
shouting not behind the wall.
2. What is produced when a sound is reflected back by a barrier?

10
 What Is It

Temperature affect the speed of sound, if the surrounding is hot the sounds travels
faster. The same with heat, sound is also a form of kinetic energy. Wherein at higher
temperatures, particles have more kinetic with that it vibrates faster. Sound travels at about
331m/s in dry air at 0°C, the speed of sound depend on the hotness or coldness of the
surroundings, sound is inversely proportional.it means that if the temperature is greater than
0°C the speed of sound is also greater than 331m/s by an amount of 0.6m/s/c.3
The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows:

v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T

Where, v is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air. One thing to keep
in mind is that this formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature.
There are also factors that affect the speed of sound such as humidity and air pressure.

Sound waves bounced back when they hit a barrier. Just like when you’re in a cave
and you are shouting your voice turn back, it is called as reflection and Echo is one of the
example of reflected sound. On the other hand if there are multiple echoes it is
Reverberation. A reverberation happens in a little room with height, width and length
dimensions of approximately 17 meters or less. This is the reason why many people even
actors and actresses love to sing inside the bathroom.

Sound also refract when it encounters a medium of different density. Thus travels
faster in hotter media. This change in speed of sound during refraction is also manifested
as sort of “bending” of sound waves. That is why open field concerts is done during night
time as sound waves are refracted from the stage towards the audience. This gives a clearer
and more audible music to enjoy.4

Activity 6: Reading Comprehension

Directions: Read the selection below and complete the table after.

Sound Waves in Medicine

https://bit.ly/31pul2w

Are you familiar with the picture above? Maybe you have seen this from your mother
or relative when they were pregnant. Pregnant women undergoes ultrasound imaging to
monitor the development of the fetus inside the womb of the mother. An ultrasound machine
produces a very high-frequency sound wave that is reflected back from different tissues
within our body. The bouncing back of wave is affected by the density of the tissue; the
function of ultrasound machine is specially programmed to read these differences to produce
an image.

Ultrasonography plays an important role in medicine because it can be utilized

diagnostically and therapeutically. Focused sound waves can be used to clean your teeth, to
break up a cloudy film called a cataract that can cover the lens of your eye, and even to
break up gallstones and kidney stones.

On the other hand ultrasonic waves are used for cleaning delicate instruments by
vibrating the cleaning liquid at a high frequency. Ultrasonic waves are also used for
detecting flaws and cracks in metal. Much like an ultrasound, this process works by sending
a signal and then waiting for the waves to bounce back. Each material has a different return
time. Using these return times, scientists are able to detect where the cracks and flaws are
located.

Sound Waves in Research and Industry

Echo sounding is another application of

sound reflection. This is used by the scientists
to map the sea floor and to determine the depth
of the ocean or the sea. is very effective at
following the motion of underground objects and
reading the composition of underwater currents.
Sonar works by sending out a sound wave into
the water. The echo that you hear when it
bounces off solid objects or different densities of
water can then be analyzed. Marine biologists
can use sonar to track the motions of sea turtle to
learn more about their migration habits or to see
if there are changes in the primary ocean
currents around the world.

 Summary

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave, because the movement of waves is parallel to

the motion of material or the particles of a medium. It does not travel through a vacuum or in
outer space. This is different than the up and down or transverse motion of a water wave.5

Sound has three characteristics one is frequency, speed and amplitude. Sound
waves are created by the vibration of some object and are detected when they cause a
detector to vibrate. Waves have two properties. Acoustics is the study of sound waves.

Sound waves bounced back when they hit a barrier. When wave turns back just like
when you’re in a cave it is called as reflection and Echo is one of the example of reflected
sound. On the other hand Reverberation refers to the multiple reflections or echoes in a
place. A reverberation happens in a small room with height, width and length dimensions of
approximately 17 meters or less. This is the reason why lot of people even actors and
actresses love to sing inside the bathroom.

Sound also refract when it encounters a medium of different density. Sound travels
faster in hotter media. This change in speed of sound during refraction is also manifested
as sort of “bending” of sound waves. This makes open field concerts better done during
night time as sound waves are refracted from the stage towards the audience. This gives a
clearer and more audible music to enjoy.6
