What have you all heard right now?
Sound is a form of
energy like heat
energy, light energy,
potential energy
and kinetic energy.
It causes a
sensation of hearing
in our ears
How sound is produced?
 Sound is produced due to the vibration of object.
(ii) The motion of materials or objects causes
vibration.
(iii) Vibration is a kind of rapid to and fro motion of an
object a central position. It is also referred to as
oscillation.
Examples:
(a) A stretched rubber band when plucked
vibrates and produces sound.
(b) In the music room of your school you hear the
sounds made by musical instruments like flute,
tabla, harmonium, guitar  etc. because of vibration.
(c) When a spoon is beaten on the plate, it starts vibrating and
produces sound.
How does sound travel?
(i) The travelling of sound is called
propagation of sound.(ii) Sound is
propagated by the to and fro motion of
particles of the medium.
Sound always require a
medium to travel
Sound needs a medium to propagate:

(i) A medium is necessary for the propagation of sound waves.

(ii) The matter or substance through which sound is transmitted
is called a medium. The medium can be solid, liquid or gas.
(iii) Sound cannot travel in vacuum. A true vacuum refers to the
complete absence of matter. Sound wave can travel only
through matter. So, sound needs a physical medium in order to
propagate anywhere.
(iv) We hear sound which comes to us through air medium
particles.
(v) Aquatic animals communicate as sound travels through water.
Home assignment
Name five examples from each medium of sound.
Write the names of the object that produces
vibrations.
What is a sound?
What are the advantages of hearing sound?
