5. How would you relate the temperature of the medium with the speed of sound?
Discuss the answers in the activity given.
D. Application
Why do we hear loud sound of music on a hot day than on rainy day?
E. Generalization
Temperature is a condition that affects the speed of sound. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy.
Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules
vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346
meters per second. This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing
temperatures. For every degree rise in temperature, the increase in the speed of sound is 0.6m/s. At 0 0C,
the speed of sound in air is 331m/s. At 10C, the speed will become 331.6m/s. This is determined by the
use of the equation: v = 331m/s + (0.6m/s0C) T
where v is the speed of sound
T is the temperature of the air.
At a temperature of 10C
V = 331m/s + (0.6m/s0C) (10C)
V = 331.6 m/s.
Speed of Sound
358.0 m/s
330.4 m/s
From the above figure, notice that the speed of sound varies directly with the temperature-as the
temperature increases, the speed of sound also increases.
One thing to keep in mind is that this formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature.
The speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as humidity and air pressure.

2. What happens to the sound waves as it hits the book?
3. Draw the path of sound waves
4. Give example of a reflected sound.
5. How is echo differentiated from reverberation?
D. Application
Use the concept of reflection and refraction to explain the pictures.
E. Generalization
Waves have some common properties. The study of the properties of sound waves is called acoustics.
Sound waves are reflected when they hit a barrier.
Reflection of sound waves off of surfaces is also affected by the shape of the surface. A flat or plane
surfaces reflect sound waves in such a way that the angle at which the wave approaches the surface equals
the angle at which the wave leaves the surface.
Reflection of sound waves off of surfaces can lead to one of two phenomena - an echo or
a reverberation. Multiple reflections are called reverberation. A reverberation often occurs in a small
room with height, width and length dimensions of approximately 17 meters or less. This best fits the
bathroom which enhances the voice.
Refraction of sound on the other hand is describe as the change in speed of sound 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.

E. Generalization
Energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the light. The list of colors goes from low frequency
to high frequency. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet. Red has the lowest frequency, so red
has the lowest energy. Violet has the highest frequency, so violet has the highest energy.
Our eyes are sensitive to light which lies in a very small region of
the electromagnetic spectrum labeled "visible light". This "visible
light" corresponds to a wavelength range of 400 - 700 nanometers
(nm) and a color range of violet through red. The human eye is not
capable of "seeing" radiation with wavelengths outside the visible
spectrum. The visible colors from shortest to longest wavelength
are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Ultraviolet
radiation has a shorter wavelength than the visible violet light.
Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible red light.
The white light is a mixture of the colors of the visible spectrum.
Black is a total absence of light.

D. Application
The effects of colored light on people have been studied by psychologists. They found out that people do
show varied responses to different colors. Colors influence a person’s emotion and degree of activity.
According to psychologists:
1. Red light/color may bring about a rise in blood pressure, respiration rate, and frequency of blinking. It excites
people.
2. Blue light/color produces effects opposite to those red light; hence, it lessens activity.
3. Purple has a mournful effect.
4. Yellow is joyful and green has a peaceful effect.
E. Generalization
What is the relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy?
The greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength. Given the
relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it
follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.
