The approximate speed of sound in iron is

  1. 332 m/s

  2. 1500 m/s

  3. 5100 m/s

  4. 5100 km/s

  5. 12000 m/s


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the speed of sound in solids particularly in iron.

Which of the following is the source of sound?

  1. Still body

  2. Any moving body

  3. Vibrating body

  4. Metallic body

  5. A body in vaccum


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

All vibrating bodies in a medium produce sound.

What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature?

  1. 332 m/s

  2. 332 km/s

  3. 33.2 m/s

  4. 33.2 km/s

  5. 332 cm/s


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Speed of sound in air is 332 m/s.

The speed of sound will be maximum in which of the following?

  1. Railway tracks

  2. Bucket of water

  3. Carbon dioxide gas

  4. Vaccum

  5. Refined oil


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The speed of sound is maximum in solids.

Which of the following simple instruments is used to produce the sound of a fixed frequency?

  1. Simple pendulum

  2. Tongs

  3. Tuning fork

  4. Plastic scale

  5. Metallic scale


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

They produce the sound of a fixed frequency when struck on a hard surface.

Which is the correct order of the speed of sound?

  1. Solid > Liquid > Gas

  2. Solid < Liquid < Gas

  3. Gas < Solid < Liquid

  4. Solid = Liquid = Gas

  5. Solid placed in vaccum > Solid placed in air


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

True, the speed of sound is maximum in solids, then in liquids, and lowest in gases.

If a drum is hit gently, why is a soft sound produced?

  1. The frequency is less.

  2. The amplitude is less.

  3. The time period is less.

  4. The time period is more.

  5. The amplitude is more.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When amplitude is more, the louder will be the sound and when the amplitude is less then the loudness will be lesser.

Which of the following relations is correct?

  1. Time period = 1/Frequency

  2. Time period = 1/Amplitude

  3. Time period = Frequency

  4. Time period = Amplitude

  5. Amplitude = Frequency


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Time period is inversely proportional to frequency of sound, the more the time period the lesser will be the frequency.

Which of the following is the correct S.I. unit of frequency?

  1. Metre

  2. Metre/Second

  3. Seconds

  4. Hertz

  5. Decibel


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hertz is the unit of frequency.

The Galton whistle heard by the dogs, produces which kind of vibrations?

  1. Subsonic vibrations

  2. Supersonic vibrations

  3. Sonic vibrations

  4. Ultrasonic vibrations

  5. Infrasonic vibrations


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Galton whistle produces ultrasonic vibrations which can be heard only by the dogs.

Which of the following is/are the uses of Ultrasonic vibrations?

  1. Relieving joint pain

  2. Animals catching prey.

  3. Homogenising milk

  4. Studying human anatomy

  5. All of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All the options are correct.

The maximum displacement of a wave on either side of its mean position is known as

  1. time period

  2. oscillation

  3. vibration

  4. amplitude

  5. frequency


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is the maximum displacement of a wave on either side of mean position.

When we pluck a wire of violin and sitar, the notes produced are different. This is referred to as which of the following?

  1. Timbre

  2. Pitch

  3. Frequency

  4. Noise

  5. Amplitude


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The characteristic quality of sound produced by a particular instrument or voice; tone colour.

Why does the chirping of birds appear shrill to the ear?

  1. The Timbre is high.

  2. The amplitude is high.

  3. The frequency of sound is low.

  4. The frequency of sound is high.

  5. The amplitude is low.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The higher the frequency, the shriller will be the sound.

Which of the following is the S.I Unit of measuring sound pressure level?

  1. Hertz

  2. Pascal

  3. Watt

  4. Decibel

  5. Ampere


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is the unit of sound pressure.

Sonar fitted in ships helps to find

  1. presence of oil in sea water

  2. presence of icebergs

  3. hotness of sea water

  4. coldness of sea water

  5. depth of sea water


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Sonar sends vibrations deep inside the sea, they touch the ground and return back and the time they take in returning back, helps in calculating the depth of the sea.

Why is the roaring of a lion loud?

  1. It is because the frequency of sound is high

  2. The amplitude is high

  3. The pitch is high

  4. The amplitude is low

  5. The Timbre is high


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The higher the amplitude, the louder will be the sound. Amplitude is directly proportional to the loudness.
