c. damping characteristics

d. all of the above

3. Critical frequency for a glass thickness is

a. Every glass pane thickness has a weak frequency for which that thickness of glass is less 'noise
absorbent' than for the others.

b. Every glass pane thickness has a weak frequency for which that thickness of glass is
maximum 'noise absorbent' than for the others.

'noise absorbent' than for the others.

d. . Every glass pane thickness has a weak frequency for which that thickness of glass is not
'noise absorbent'

b. At high frequencies sound attenuation is directly proportional to mass

c. At low frequencies sound attenuation is directly proportional to mass

a. compressions and rarefactions that constitute a sound wave

b. The number of pressure variations per second is called the frequency of sound

c. it is measured in Hertz (Hz) which is defined as the number of cycles per second.

d. all of the above

9. Which statement is correct

a. The higher the frequency, the more high-pitched a sound is perceived

c. the bass range from 1250 to 2500 Hz

d. Sounds produced by drums have much higher frequencies than those produced by a whistle.

sound at some specific frequencies

b. The sound attenuation of any material depends only on its mass,

c. The sound transmission loss for a single glass pane, measured over a range of frequencies,
varies depending on glass thickness
d. Noise - what we want to avoid inside our buildings - is the mixture of sounds of different
quality
