9th Sound Test Paper Solved

1.A submarine enters a sonar pulse, which returns from an under water cliff in 1.02 s. If the speed of sound in salt water is 1531 m/s, how far away is the cliff?
Ans: t = 1.02s, v = 1531m/s Now d=s x t Distance travelled by sonar pulse = 2d = 2x1531x1.02 = 1561.62m

Distance of the cliff = d/2= 1561.62/2 = 780.81m

2. If the tension in the wire is increased four times how will the velocity of wave in a string varies?
Answer: velocity of the wave in string is directly proportional to the square root of the tension thus if tension is increased 4 times the velocity will be doubled.

3. What is Echo. Explain the conditions that have to be satisfied to hear an echo?
Ans: reflection of sound wave from a large obstacle is called an echo.

The most important condition for hearing an echo is that the reflected sound should reach the ear only after a lapse of at least 0.1 second after the original sound dies off and the obstacle is at least at a distance of 17 m

4. Why do echoes produced in an empty auditorium usually decrease when it is full of audience?
Ans: When the hall is empty there is no obstacles in between to reflect the sound other than the walls. When the hall is full of audiences the sound produced undergoes multiple reflection from the people and so it overlaps with the sound produced. Hence the listener is not able to distinguish between the original sound and the echo.

5. A girl claps and hears the echo after reflection from cliff which is 660 m away. If the velocity of sound is 330 m s-1, calculate the time taken for hearing the echo. 

Ans: v x t = 2 d Þ t = 2d/v = 2x660/300 = 4s

6. Explain how is the principle of echo used by the dolphin to locate small fish as its prey.
Ans: Dolphins are aquatic animals which send out ultrasonic sound to communicate with each other. They have a sound sensing system which enables them to find animals under water with great accuracy due to the echo of the ultrasonic sound produced by them.

7. Explain by some experiment that sound waves require medium for their propagation.
Ans: An electric bell is suspended inside an airtight glass bell jar connected to a vacuum pump. As the electric bell circuit is completed, the sound is heard. Now if the air is slowly removed from the bell jar by using a vacuum pump, the intensity of sound goes on decreasing and finally no sound is heard when all the air is drawn out. We would be seeing the hammer striking the gong repeatedly. This clearly proves that sound requires a material for its propagation.

8. Distinguish between loudness and intensity of sound.
Ans: Intensity depends on the energy per unit area of the wave and it is independent of the response of the ear, but the loudness depends on energy as well as on the response of the ear.

9. Give two practical applications of the reflection of sound waves.

Ans: (i) In stethoscope the sound of patient’s heartbeat reaches the doctor’s ears by multiple reflections in the tubes.

(ii) Megaphones are designed to send sound waves in particular direction are based on the reflection of sound.

10. Why are longitudinal waves called pressure waves?

Ans: Sound waves travels in the form of compression and rarefactions, which involve change in pressure, and volume of the air. Thus they are called pressure waves.

11. Sound travels faster on a rainy day than on a dry day. Why?
Ans: Sound travels faster on rainy day because the velocity of sound increases with increase in humidity. On rainy day humidity is more thus velocity of sound is also more.

12. How moths of certain families are able to escape capture?
Ans: Moths of certain families can hear high frequency sounds (squeaks) of bat as they have sensitive hearing equipment. Thus they get to know when a bat is near by and hence able to escape its capture

Class 10 Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salts NCERT Activity Explanation

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get d...

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page ...

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....
