By changing length of the scale protruding out of table and vibrating it we can produce sounds of different frequencies. This is possible due to:
Press the stem of an excite turning folk of frequency 512Hz on a table having natural frequency 384Hz.
A) what is the frequency of vibration of the at this instance?
B) what is change in the loudness of sound produce? Why?
C) what happen if you press a turning folk of natural frequency 384Hz on the table? Explain
(a) What is meant by the 'time-period' of a vibrating object? State its unit.
(b) Define 'frequency' of a vibrating object. Name the unit in which frequency is measured.
(c) A pendulum oscillates 40 times in 4 seconds. Calculate its (i) time-period. and (ii) frequency. Can we hear the sound produced by the oscillations of this pendulum? Give reason for your answer.
The sound from an insect is produced when it vibrates its wings at an average rate of 500 vibrations per second :
(a) What is the time-period of the vibrations?
(b) What is the frequency of the vibrations in hertz?
(c) Can we hear this sound? Why or why not?
