CBSE PHYSICS IX Physics Sound NCERT Solutions

Explain how sound is produced by your school bell.
When the bell continues to move forward and backward, it creates a series of compressions and rarefactions. In this  way a bell produce the sound .
Why sound waves are called mechanical waves?
Sound waves need the material medium to vibrate and propagate. Hence, these waves are known as mechanical waves. Sound waves propagate through a medium because of the interaction of the particles present in that medium.
Suppose you and your friend are on the moon. Will you be able to hear any sound produced by your friend?
Sound needs a medium to propagate. Since there is no material medium on the moon due to absence of atmosphere, you cannot hear any sound on the moon.
Page 166 : Which wave property determines (a) loudness, (b) pitch?
(a) Amplitude of sound wave determines the loudness of a sound. The amplitude of a sound directly proportional to amplitude of wave. If the amplitude of a sound is large, then the sound produced will also be loud.
(b) Frequency of sound wave determines the pitch of a sound . The pitch of a sound is proportional to its frequency. High pitched sounds have high frequency
Guess which sound has a higher pitch: guitar or car horn?
The frequency of the vibration of a sound produced by a guitar is greater than that produced by a car horn. As we know that the pitch of a sound is directly proportional to its frequency, the guitar has a higher pitch than a car horn.
Page 166 : What are wavelength, frequency, time period and amplitude of a sound wave?
Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions  is known as the wavelength. Its SI unit is metre (m).
Frequency: The number of oscillations produced by vibrating body in one second is known as the frequency of a sound wave. It is measured in hertz (Hz).
Amplitude: The maximum height reached by the crest or trough of a sound wave is called its amplitude.
How are the wavelength and frequency of a sound wave related to its speed?
Speed of sound wave is product of wavelength and frequency of a sound wave
Speed ( v) = Wavelength × Frequency = ν λ
Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and speed is 440 m/s in a given medium.
Frequency of the sound wave, v = 220 Hz Speed of the sound wave, v = 440 m/ s
Speed = Wavelength × Frequency
Wavelength of a sound wave = Speed of the sound wave/ Frequency of the sound wave
= 440 m/s ÷ 220 Hz = 2m
Hence, the wavelength of the sound wave is 2 m.

A person is listening to a tone of 500 Hz sitting at a distance of 450 m from the source of the sound. What is the time interval between successive compressions from the source?
You know that the time taken to complete two successive compressions or two consecutive rarefactions is called the time period of the wave.
Time period of the wave = 1/Frequency Hence, time period is reciprocal of the frequency of the wave
Now, Time period of the wave=1/500=0.002 second
Page 166 : Distinguish between loudness and intensity of sound.
a) Intensity of sound waves is defined as the average energy transported per second per unit area perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
b) It is measured in Js-1m-2 or Wm-2.
c) The intensity of sound in air depends on the square of the frequency and the square of the amplitude.
a) The loudness of sound is defined as the degree of sensation of sound produced in the ear
b) The loudness of a sound depends on its amplitude.
c) The amplitude of a sound decides its intensity, which in turn is perceived by the ear as loudness.
Page 167 : In which of the three media, air, water or iron, does sound travel the fastest at a particular temperature?
The speed of sound depends on the nature of the medium. Sound travels the fastest in solids. Its speed decreases in liquids and it is the slowest in gases. Therefore, for a given temperature, sound travels fastest in iron.
Page 168 : An echo returned in 3 s. What is the distance of the reflecting surface from the source, given that the speed of sound is 342 m/s ?
Speed of sound, v = 342 m/ s Echo returns in time, t = 3 s
Distance travelled by sound = v × t = 342 × 3 = 1026 m
In the given time interval, sound has to travel a distance that is twice the distance of the reflecting surface and the source.
Hence, The actual distance of the reflecting surface from the source =1026/2=513m
Page 169 : Why are the ceilings of concert halls curved?
Ceilings of concert halls are curved so that sound after reflection (from the walls) spreads uniformly in all directions due to irregular reflection.

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 dissolved in it

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.

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
