ICSE Physics Class 8 Notes Chapter 7 Sound<\/h2>\n

\u2192 SOUND : \u201cIs energy which produces in us the sensation of hearing.\u201d It is produced by vibration of body.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Sound needs a medium for its propagation. Sound cannot travel in vacuum.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Speed of sound is maximum in solids. 5000 m s-1<\/sup> in steel, in water 1500 m s-1<\/sup> and in air it is least 330 m s-1<\/sup> nearly.<\/p>\n

\u2192 When a body vibrates, the particles of medium also start vibrating and K.E. of particles changes into potential energy and P.E. into K.E. This is why sound in energy.<\/p>\n

\u2192 Sound travels in a medium in the form of wave.

\u2192 Longitudinal wave: When the particles of medium move in the direction of motion of wave by forming compression and rarefaction.
\n\"ICSE<\/p>\n

AMPLITUDE : \u201cThe maximum displacement of the particle of medium on either side of mean position.\u201d
\n\"ICSE<\/p>\n

TIME PERIOD : \u201cThe time taken by a particle of medium to complete its one vibration\u2019 ‘t\u2019.<\/p>\n

FREQUENCY : \u201cThe number of vibrations made by a particle of the medium in one second.\u201d
\nf measured in Hertz (Hz)<\/p>\n

FREQUENCY : f = \\(\\frac {1}{t}\\) or t = \\(\\frac {1}{f}\\)<\/p>\n

WAVE LENGTH : \u201cThe distance travelled by the wave in one one time period of vibration of particle of medium.\u201d
\nOr
\n\u201cThe distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.\u201d It is denoted by \u2018 \u03bb \u2019 and S.I. unit of wave length is metre (m).
