Nice answer!
In the activity of group 3, how sound Sound waves produced by the vibration of
waves produced? the guitar string. As the guitar string
vibrates in a certain frequency, the
molecules in the air that are adjacent to it
also vibrate from one molecule to another
until the adjacent air molecules in my ear
vibrate also.
Great!
How does sound waves received by the Sound waves received by the ears in which
ears? the molecules that are adjacent to your
eardrums vibrate in the same frequency
with the source. These air molecules exert
pressure on your eardrums and cause it to
vibrate in the same frequency with the
source. And this vibration is transferred
through delicate bone structure, a liquid,
and nerves to produce the sensation of
hearing in your brain.
Exactly!
Sound is restricted to the frequency
range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz to which
the human ear is sensitive. Waves with
frequencies below 1 to 20 Hz are called
infrasound and those above 20,000 Hz
are called ultrasound. Yes sir.
Did you get it?
What are the factors that affect the speed Elasticity, density and temperature of the
of sound? medium.
Very good!
How does elasticity affect the speed of If the molecules of the medium were able
sound? to return quickly from their original
position after being displayed, thus, it is a
good transmitter of sound because they can
vibrate at higher speed.
Exactly!
Do you have any questions or None sir.

How does sound waves produced? the tuning fork with its given frequency

That’s right!
How does sound waves transmitted and As the tuning fork vibrates with its given

to it and causes them to vibrate in the same
frequency with the source. These molecules
in turn collide with the molecules next to
them, thus, passing the disturbance along to
them.

daytime? We can easily hear during nighttime than
What is the reason behind it? daytime because of the bending of sound
waves due to the different refractive indices
of air because of the difference in
temperature. At daytime when the sun is
shining, the air near Earth’s surface is
cooler than the air above. Since Earth’s
surface is cooler, the sound would move
from the cooler region towards the hotter
air above. Thus, sound waves will bend
into the sky. At nighttime, the air near the
Earth’s surface is heated by the heat
emitted by the ground, making it hotter
than the air above which is cooler due to
absence of the sun. This makes sound move
from the cooler air above towards the
hotter air near the Earth’s surface.
Thus, sound waves are bended to the
Earth’s surface. That’s why you can easily
hear during nighttime than daytime.
Excellent!
