\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. AMPLITUDE : \u201cThe maximum displacement of the particle of medium on either side of mean position.\u201d 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 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 CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUND :<\/p>\n LOUDNESS : is the characteristic of sound by virtue of which a loud sound can be distinguished from a faint sound, both having same frequency and same wave form.<\/p>\n It depend on: (i) Amplitude of wave (ii) Surface area of vibrating body (ii) Distance from the source of sound (iv) Sensitivity of listener: Unit of loudness is (dB) decibel.<\/p>\n PITCH : It depends on number of vibrations per second or frequency: more frequency is high pitch shrilled sound and low frequency is flat sound.<\/p>\n QUALITY : is the characteristic which distinguishes two sounds of the same pitch and same loudness. It depends on wave form.<\/p>\n
