1) Sound :-
Sound plays an important part in our daily lives. It helps us to
communicate with each other. We hear a wide variety of sounds in our
surroundings.
Sound is produced by a vibrating body. Vibration is the to and fro or
back and forth motion of an object.
Eg :- If you strike a school bell, it vibrates and produces sound.
If you pluck a stretched rubber band, it vibrates and produces
sound.
If you beat a drum, its stretched membrane vibrates and produces
sound.
If you blow a bugle, the air column vibrates and produces sound.

Some musical instruments produce sound when they are
beaten or struck.
Eg:- bell, ghatam, manjira, jaltarang etc.

3) Sound produced by humans:-
In humans sound is produced by the vioce box or larynx. It is the
upper part of the wind pipe. Two vocal cords are stretched across the
voice box leaving a narrow slit. When the lungs force air through the
slit, it vibrates and produce sound.

4) Sound requires a medium to propagate :-
Sound travels through solids, liquids and gases. Sound does not
travel in vacuum.
Eg :- Sound travels through the solid thread of a can telephone.
A whale listens to the reflected sound (echo) in water to locate
its prey.
We are able to listen to sounds because sound travels in air.
(a mixture of gases)

5) How we hear sound through our ears :-
Sound enters the ear through the ear canal. It makes the eardrum to
vibrate. The ear drum sends the vibrations to the inner ear. From there
the signals go to the brain and then we hear the sound.

6) Amplitude, Time period and Frequency of Vibration:-
Vibration is the to and fro motion of an object. It is also called oscillatory
motion.
Motion of a simple pendulum
A B
O
i) The maximum displacement of an oscillating body from its central

position is called its amplitude. (OB or OA)
ii) The motion of the pendulum from one extreme position to the other extreme
position and back is called an oscillation. (A to B and back to A)
iii) The time taken for one oscillation is called time period.
iv) The number of oscillations per second is called frequency. The unit of
frequency is hertz (Hz). a presentation by Prabhat Tyagi 10
7) Loudness and Pitch of sound :-
i) The loudness of sound depends upon the amplitude of vibration.
If the amplitude is less the sound is feeble.
If the amplitude is more the sound is loud.
The unit of loudness is called decibel (dB).
ii) The pitch of sound depends upon the frequency of vibration.
If the frequency is less the sound has low pitch. Eg :- sound of a
drum, sound of an adult etc.
If the frequency is more the sound has a high pitch. Eg :- sound of
a whistle, sound of a baby etc.

8) Audible and inaudible sound :-
i) Audible sound is sound which we can hear. It has frequencies
between 20 Hz and 20000 Hz. (Between 20 and 20000 vibrations per
second).
ii) Inaudible sound is sound which we cannot hear. It has
frequencies less than 20Hz and more than 20000 Hz. (Less than 20
vibrations per second and more than 20000 vibrations per second)
Sound whose frequencies are more than 20000 Hz is called ultrasonic
sound. Some animals like dogs can hear ultrasonic sound. Bats
produce ultrasonic sound.

8) Noise and Musical sound :-
i) Noise :- Unpleasant sounds are called noise. It is produced by
irregular vibrations.
Eg :- If all the students in a classroom speak together, a noise is
produced.
Sounds produced by horns of busses and trucks.
ii) Musical sound :- Sound which is pleasing to the ears is called
musical sound. It is produced by regular vibrations.
Eg :- Sounds produced by musical instruments.
Sound of a person singing a song.
Nightingale

9) Noise pollution :-
The presence of excessive or unwanted sound in the environment is
called noise pollution.
a) Causes of noise pollution :-
Noise pollution is caused by sounds of vehicles, explosions
including bursting of crackers, machines, loudspeakers etc. In the
home noise pollution is caused by television radio and music systems
at high volume, some kitchen appliances, desert coolers, air
conditioners etc.
b) Harmful effects of noise pollution :-
Noise pollution causes several health related problems like lack of
sleep, hypertension, high blood pressure, anxiety etc. A person
exposed to loud sound continuously may get temporary or permanent
impairment of hearing.
c) Measures to limit noise pollution :-
Noise pollution can be reduced by using silencers in vehicles,
industrial machines, and home appliances reducing use of vehicle
horns, running TV, radio and music systems at low volumes. Planting of
trees along roads and buildings also help to reduce noise pollution.

So What have we learned ?
•What is SOUND?
•How does sound propagate?
•Is medium required for propagation og sound?
•Sound travel fastest in which medium and slowed in which
medium between solid liquid and gas?
•Define AMPLITUDE FREQUENCY and TIME PERIOD?
