What This Module is About

Giggle, whistle, growl, beep, click, these are just a few of the common sounds that

you hear every day. From the moment your mother conceived you in the womb, you have

already perceived the sense of hearing. As you live each day, you learn to respond to the

different sounds around you. You are awakened by the loud ringing of your alarm clock early

in the morning. A knock on your door informs you that it’s time to prepare for school. Then

you hear the voice of your friend calling you to walk to school together.

“The Science of Sound has gone all the way from a mere transfer of energy to the

creation of tunes and music of entertainment. Most of our gadgets are sound embedded to

amuse us. In the field of geology and oceanography, sound is used to determine depths.

The health sciences are also using sound for medical purposes. Some animals are

dependent on sound for movement. The newest focus of sound science is on ecology where

ecological patterns and phenomena are predicted based on sounds released by the different

components of the ecosystem.” 1

Can you imagine a world without sounds? Indeed, our life is filled with a multitude of

sounds that help us communicate, learn, discover, respond, and adapt in a fast changing

world. This module will introduce you to interesting concepts of sound which includes sound

propagation, reflection and refraction of sounds, and how temperature affects the speed of

sound.

Lesson Propagation of Sound 1

What I Need to Know

 All sounds are produced by vibrations. When you pluck a guitar string, it vibrates and

produces a sound. When the wind blows through a tree, the leaves vibrate and produced a

rustling sound. When sound waves reach you ears, the waves cause your eardrums to

vibrate. 2In grade seven, you have learned that sound is a form of mechanical wave. This

means that sound requires a medium so that it can be transported from one location to another.
A medium (plural: media) is anything that allows the transfer of energy. In our topic these include

solid, liquid, and gas. Did you ever wonder why we can see the bright stars at night but never

heard how they sound like? As said, sound needs a medium to travel, and since space is close

to vacuum (empty space) sound is hardly heard. Sound cannot travel through vacuum.

At the end of this lesson, you must be able to demonstrate that sound travels through

solid, liquid, and gas. You will discover through simple activities of which medium sound

travel fastest. You will also find out how the temperature of the medium affects the speed of

sound. Lastly, you will be familiarized with the concepts of reflection and refraction of sound

which you commonly experience every day.

What’s New
Activity 1: Compare Me

Objective:

At the end of the activity, you must:

1. infer that sound is transmitted in solid and air through vibrations of air particles;
and 2. compare how sound travel through solid and air.

Materials:
● pencil or ruler
● table or desk

Procedures:

1. Place your ear against one end of a table top. Ask a

friend to gently tap the other end of the table with a
pencil or a ruler. Observe what happens.

2. Then ask your friend to gently tap the other end of the table
but this time makes sure that your ear is not touching the table.
Observe and compare what you heard from number 1.

Q1. On which situation did you encounter louder and more pronounced sound?

Q2. On which situation did you encounter sound quietly?

Activity 2: Dance with Me

Objective:
At the end of the activity, learners will be able to infer that sound is transmitted in air
through vibrations of air particles.

Materials:
1 rubber band 1 piece plastic sheet/cellophane 1 empty big can or
plastic container (enough to put a phone inside) 1 pinch of sugar
cell phone/radio/speaker

Procedure:

1. Get an empty can or container. Make sure it is clean before using it in the experiment. 2.
Turn on the music of your cell phone and put it inside the can. 3. Cover the opening of an
empty can with a piece of plastic or cellophane and secure it
tightly with a rubber band. 4. Spread some grains of sugar on top of the plastic. 5. Observe
the sugar what happens to the sugar. 6. This time, remove the phone from the container
and put the cover back. Again, place
some grains of sugar on top of the plastic. 7. This time place the phone near the container
while it is playing. Explore the changes
of the behavior of sugar while turning the volume at different levels.

If cellphone is not available, you may use radio or speakers, or anything that can produce
sound like hitting a can with a piece of stone.
Q1. What did you observe with the sugar particles while the phone is playing inside the can?

Q2. Compare the movement of the sugar if the cell phone is inside the can. How about if
the cell phone is outside the can? How about when you change the phone’s volume?

Q3. Based on your observations, why did the sugar particles move?

3
What Is It
Sound travels as a wave of mechanical vibrations through a medium (solid, liquid, gas). In
Activity 1 you heard a louder sound when the table was tapped while your ear is against its
surface than when your ear was not touching the table. This shows that sound waves can travel
through wood or solid and even in air. Through which material does sound travel the fastest?
Try to recall the molecular arrangement of the molecules of solid, liquid and gas. Figure 1. A model

for the three states of matter (Source: https://bit.ly/3dKAfxs)

Comparing Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Characteristics Solid Liquid Gas Intermolecular spacing
Particles are in fixed position
Particles close together
Particles far apart
Volume Has fixed volume and
shape
Has fixed volume and takes the shape of the container
Takes the volume and shape of the container
Ability to flow Does not flow Does not flow Flow easily Compressibility Cannot be
compressed easily
Cannot be compressed easily
Can be compressed easily
Density More dense Denser Less dense
Molecules in solids are closer to each other compared to liquid, so the sound vibration (wave)
can transfer from one molecule to the next more easily. So sound waves travel fastest in solid,
then in liquid, and gas.

In Activity 2, you had fun watching the sugar dance with the music. The sugar is a

representation of air particles when they are bothered. The disturbance encountered by the

sugar is the reason the sugar bounce up and down. In Grade 7, you discussed that energy is

transferred or transmitted from one object to another. Bouncing sugar is also a process of

energy transmission. In the activity you can infer that sound waves are vibrations that move

through the air and that sound is transported through oscillation of air particles.

Sound is a form of a wave. If you have recalled, a wave has its lowest point called

the trough and the highest point called the crest. In transporting sound, the waves are

characterized as longitudinal waves. These are waves that travel parallel to the motion of

particles. Longitudinal waves are waves that are usually created by pulling and pushing the

material or medium just like in the slinky or spring. You can observe the alternating

compression and rarefaction (Figure 2). A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave

where the particles are closest together while a rarefaction is a region where the particles

are furthest apart. On the other hand another type of wave called the transverse wave is a

wave where the movement of the particles are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or

path of propagation (Figure 3). Sound wave is not a transverse wave.

Shouting behind a wall Shouting without a barrier
https://bit.ly/3dKAfxs https://bit.ly/2NA9wZX

What Is It

Temperature affect the speed of sound, if the surrounding is hot the sounds travels

faster. The same with heat, sound is also a form of kinetic energy. Wherein at higher

temperatures, particles have more kinetic with that it vibrates faster. Sound travels at about

331m/s in dry air at 0°C, the speed of sound depend on the hotness or coldness of the

surroundings, sound is inversely proportional.it means that if the temperature is greater than

0°C the speed of sound is also greater than 331m/s by an amount of 0.6m/s/c.3

The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows:

v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T

Where, v is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air. One thing to keep

in mind is that this formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature.

There are also factors that affect the speed of sound such as humidity and air pressure.

Sound waves bounced back when they hit a barrier. Just like when you’re in a cave

and you are shouting your voice turn back, it is called as reflection and Echo is one of the

example of reflected sound. On the other hand if there are multiple echoes it is

Reverberation. A reverberation happens in a little room with height, width and length

dimensions of approximately 17 meters or less. This is the reason why many people even

actors and actresses love to sing inside the bathroom.

Sound also refract when it encounters a medium of different density. Thus travels
faster in hotter media. This change in speed of sound during refraction is also manifested

as sort of “bending” of sound waves. That is why open field concerts is done during night

time as sound waves are refracted from the stage towards the audience. This gives a clearer

and more audible music to enjoy.4

Sound Waves in Medicine

https://bit.ly/31pul2w

Are you familiar with the picture above? Maybe you have seen this from your mother or
relative when they were pregnant. Pregnant women undergoes ultrasound imaging to monitor
the development of the fetus inside the womb of the mother. An ultrasound machine produces a
very high-frequency sound wave that is reflected back from different tissues within our body. The
bouncing back of wave is affected by the density of the tissue; the function of ultrasound
machine is specially programmed to read these differences to produce an

image.Ultrasonography plays an important role in medicine because it can be utilized diagnostically

and therapeutically. Focused sound waves can be used to clean your teeth, to break up a cloudy
film called a cataract that can cover the lens of your eye, and even to break up gallstones and
kidney stones.

On the other hand ultrasonic waves are used for cleaning delicate instruments by
vibrating the cleaning liquid at a high frequency. Ultrasonic waves are also used for detecting
flaws and cracks in metal. Much like an ultrasound, this process works by sending a signal and
then waiting for the waves to bounce back. Each material has a different return time. Using
these return times, scientists are able to detect where the cracks and flaws are located.

13
Sound Waves in Research and Industry
Echo sounding is another application of sound reflection. This is used by the scientists to map
the sea floor and to determine the depth of the ocean or the sea. is very effective at following
the motion of underground objects and reading the composition of underwater currents. Sonar
works by sending out a sound wave into the water. The echo that you hear when it bounces off
solid objects or different densities of water can then be analyzed. Marine biologists
Sound Navigation Ranging (SONAR)
can use sonar to track the motions of sea turtle to Source: https://bit.ly/2YFOXl8
learn more about their migration habits or to see if there are changes in the primary ocean
currents around the world.
Application of Sound Waves (Longitudinal Waves)
Direction: Write at least five (5) uses of sound waves in the field of Medicine and in the field of
Industry. Copy and answer in your activity notebook.

Summary
 Sound wave is a longitudinal wave, because the movement of waves is parallel to

the motion of material or the particles of a medium. It does not travel through a vacuum or in

outer space. This is different than the up and down or transverse motion of a water wave.5

Sound has three characteristics one is frequency, speed and amplitude. Sound

waves are created by the vibration of some object and are detected when they cause a

detector to vibrate. Waves have two properties. Acoustics is the study of sound waves.

Sound waves bounced back when they hit a barrier. When wave turns back just like

when you’re in a cave it is called as reflection and Echo is one of the example of reflected

sound. On the other hand Reverberation refers to the multiple reflections or echoes in a

place. A reverberation happens in a small room with height, width and length dimensions of

approximately 17 meters or less. This is the reason why lot of people even actors and

actresses love to sing inside the bathroom.

Sound also refract when it encounters a medium of different density. Sound travels

faster in hotter media. This change in speed of sound during refraction is also manifested

as sort of “bending” of sound waves. This makes open field concerts better done during

night time as sound waves are refracted from the stage towards the audience. This gives a

clearer and more audible music to enjoy.6
