sound

• Sound is a form of energy like heat and light

• Sound is a form of energy which produces a
sensation of hearing in our ears
 VIBRATION
A vibration is a rapid back and forth
movement of an object about its mean
position. A sound is produced because of
vibration.
 SOUND IS PRODUCED BY A
VIBRATING OBJECT
METHOD :
Take a rubber band. Put it around
the longer side of a pencil box.
Insert two pencils
between the box and the stretched
rubber. Now, pluck the rubber band
somewhere in the middle.
OBSERVATION:
You observe that the rubber band
vibrates and produce sound
CONCLUSION:
Sound is produced by a vibrating object
 TUNING FORK
• Tuning fork is a U
shaped steel piece with
a handle the two arms
of tuning fork are called
prongs and the handle
is called is stem
VIBRATING TUNING FORK
PRODUCES SOUND
SOUND NEED A MEDIUM TO
TRAVEL
The substance are matter through which sound
is transmitted is called a medium.
SOUND CAN TRAVEL THROUGH
LIQUID
METHOD:
Take a bell and put it inside a
bucket with water . Shake the
bell , put your ear just touching
the water level in the bucket
and shake the bell again
OBSERVATION:
When you put your ear just
touching the water level in the
bucket you hear a louder
sound
CONCLUSION :
Sound travel through liquid
 SPEED OF SOUND

Sound travels with different speeds in different medium

 The speed with which sound waves travel depends on

the nature and density of the medium
 Sound travels faster in solids
 Speed of sound in steel is 5960 m/s
 Slower in liquids
 Speed of sound in water is 1531 m/s
 Slowest in gases
 Speed of sound in air is 340 m/s
SPPED OF SOUND IN
