Name the characteristic of sound which can distinguish between the ‘notes’ (musical sounds) played on a flute and a sitar (both the notes having the same pitch and loudness).
Which characteristic is this? We can distinguish between sound having same pitch and loudness.a. Tone b. Note c. Pitch d. Timber
Pitch of sound is determined by its$(a)$. frequency $(b)$. speed$(c)$. amplitude $(d)$. loudness
How can we distinguish one sound from another having the same pitch and loudness?
How we can distinguish between the sound of an instrument, even if their frequency and loudness are the same?
(a) Explain the term ‘pitch’ of a sound. On what factor does the ‘pitch’ of a sound depend?(b) Draw labelled diagrams to represent the sound of (a) low pitch, and (b) high pitch, of the same loudness.
Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:(a) An echo is simply a ............. sound.(b) Pitch of sound depends on ................(c) Loudness of sound depends on .............(d) Quality of sound depends on ................(e) Echoes are caused by the ............. of sound.
Before playing the orchestra in a musical concert, a sitarist tries to adjust the tension and pluck the string suitably. By doing so, he is adjusting$(a)$. intensity of sound only$(b)$. amplitude of sound only$(c)$. frequency of the sitar string with the frequency of other musical instruments$(d)$. loudness of sound

(a) What is meant by the ‘loudness’ of sound? On what factor does the loudness of a sound depend?(b) Draw labelled diagrams to represent (a) soft sound, and (b) loud sound, of the same frequency.
Name the characteristic of sound which depends on (a) amplitude (b) frequency, and (c) waveform.
The loudness of sound depends on$(a)$. its amplitude$(b)$. its time period$(c)$. its frequency$(d)$. its speed
Write the characteristic of the sound that describes how the brain interprets the frequency of sound is called.
Order to reduce the loudness of a sound, we have to$(a)$. decrease its frequency of vibration of the sound$(b)$. increase its frequency of vibration of the sound$(c)$. decrease its amplitude of vibration of the sound$(d)$. increase its amplitude of vibration of the sound
What is meant by the quality (or timbre) of sound? On what factor does the quality (or timbre) of a sound depend?
