In the
following statements, tick ‘T’ against those which are
true, and ‘F’ against those which are false.
(a) Sound
cannot travel in vacuum. (T / F)
(b) The number of oscillations per second of a vibrating object is
called its time period. (T / F)
(c) If
the amplitude of vibration is large, sound is feeble. (T / F)
(d) For
human ears, the audible range is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. (T / F)
(e) The
lower the frequency of vibration, the higher is the pitch. (T / F)
(f) Unwanted
or unpleasant sound is termed as music. (T / F)
(g) Noise
pollution may cause partial hearing impairment. (T/F)

(a) True
Sound requires a medium
to travel through. Since vacuum is devoid of any medium, sound cannot
travel through it.
(b) False
The number of oscillations per second of a
vibrating object is known as its frequency.
Time period is the time required to complete one oscillation.
(c) False
Loudness of a sound is proportional to the square
of the amplitude of its vibration. When the
amplitude of vibration of a sound is large, the sound is very loud.
The sound is feeble for small amplitude.
(d) True
Humans cannot hear sounds of all frequencies.
Humans can hear a sound whose frequency
falls in the range of 20 Hz−20,000 Hz. The sound having
frequency out of this range is inaudible to humans.
(e) False
The pitch of a sound is
proportional to its frequency. As the frequency of vibration
increases, the pitch of the sound also increases and vice-versa. A
sound is said to be high pitched if its frequency of vibration is
high, and is low pitched for a small frequency of vibration.
(f) False
Unwanted or unpleasant sounds are known as noise.
Sounds that are melodious and pleasing to
ear are known as music.
(g) True
Unwanted or unpleasant sounds are known as noise.
If one is subjected to loud unpleasant
sound continuously for a long time, then it may cause temporary
hearing impairment.

(g) True
Unwanted or unpleasant sounds are known as noise. If one is subjected to loud unpleasant sound continuously for a long time, then it may cause temporary hearing impairment.
