The loudness of sound is determined by its$(a)$. amplitude of vibration$(b)$. ratio of amplitude and frequency of vibration$(c)$. frequency of vibration$(d)$. product of amplitude and frequency of vibration
The loudness of sound depends on$(a)$. its amplitude$(b)$. its time period$(c)$. its frequency$(d)$. its speed
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 happens to the loudness of a sound if its amplitude decreases?
When we change a feeble sound to a loud sound, we increase its:(a) frequency (b) amplitude (c) velocity (d) wavelength
We can distinguish between the musical sounds produced by different singers on the basis of the characteristic of sound called:(a) frequency (b) timbre(c) pitch(d) loudness
Fill in the blanks with suitable words.$(a)$. Time taken by an object to complete one oscillation is called______.$(b)$. Loudness is determined by the ________ of vibration.$(c)$. The unit of frequency is _________.$(d)$. Unwanted sound is called _________.$(e)$. The shrillness of a sound is determined by the _________ of vibration.
Loud sound can travel a larger distance, due toa. Higher amplitude b. Higher energy c. High frequency d. High speed
(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.
What happens to the pitch of a sound if its frequency increases?
(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.
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
Name the characteristic of sound which depends on (a) amplitude (b) frequency, and (c) waveform.
What has high frequency sound: higher pitch or lower pitch?
