Answer:
Sounds which have frequency lower than 20 Hz are called infrasonic sounds.

Question 10.

Answer:
The presence of unwanted and excessive sound in the environment is called noise pollution.

Sound Class 8 Extra Questions Long Answer Questions

Question 1.
State the differences between ultrasonic sound and infrasonic sound?
Answer:

Ultrasonic sound Infrasonic sound

(i) Sound of frequency higher than 20,000 Hz is (i) Sound of frequency lower than 20 Hz is called

called ultrasonic sound. the infrasonic sound.

(ii) Animals like dog, bat, monkey, deer, etc., can hear (ii) Animals like whale, elephant, hippopotamus,

ultrasonic sound. giraffe, etc., can hear infrasonic sound.

Question 2.
What are the methods to control noise pollution?
Answer:
Following are the methods to control noise pollution:

The noise pollution can be controlled by reducing the respective sources of noise pollution.
The blowing of horns and speaker should be strictly avoided near schools and hospitals.
More and more trees should be planted on roadside because trees absorb sound.

Question 3.
What is the property of vibration which determines the pitch of the sound?
Answer:
Powered by Ultrasonic sound generators
The frequency is the property which determines the shrillness or pitch of a sound. If the frequency of a
sound is higher then we say that the sound has lower pitch.

Question 4.
Define frequency.
Answer:
The number of oscillations completed by a vibrating body in one second is called frequency. The unit of
frequency is hertz. It is denoted by Hz. If a vibrating body makes 20 oscillations in a second we say that its
frequency is 20 Hz. The human voice can produce frequency between 60 Hz and 13,000 Hz. It is interesting
that a human ear can hear sound of frequency between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

Question 5.
A string musical instrument was first plucked with a force of smaller magnitude and then with a force of
greater magnitude. In which case would the instrument produce a louder sound?
NCERT SOLUTIONS
Answer: RD SHARMA CLASS 12 CLASS 11 CLASS 10 CLASS 9 CBSE SAMPLE PAPERS TEXTBOOK SOLUTIONS
The loudness of sound depends upon the amplitude of vibration. The amplitude of string is larger when it is
plucked with greater force and hence the sound will be louder in that case.

Question 6.
Differentiate between musical sound and noise.
Answer:

Musical sound Noise

(i) Musical sound is pleasant, smooth and (i) Noise is unpleasant, jarring and disagreeable to

agreeable to the ear. the ear.

(ii) It is produced by periodic vibrations which are (ii) It is produced by irregular vibrations which are

regular and continuous. discontinuous.

(iii) There are no sudden changes in loudness and (iii) There are sudden changes in loudness and

pitch of musical sound. pitch of noise.

Sound Class 8 Extra Questions Higher Order Thinking Skills

Question 1.
How is sound produced and how is it transmitted and heard by us?
Answer:
Sound is a form of energy produced and transmitted by a vibrating matter. It travels in form of waves
through matter and moves in to and fro direction. When this wave reach eardrum it makes the eardrum to
vibrate. The eardrum sends vibrations to the inner ear. From there, the signal goes to the brain and we are
able to hear the sound.

Question 2.
Suppose a bell is ringing in a vacuum. Will you able to hear the sound?
Answer:
We will not be able to hear the sound of vibration because sound cannot travel in vacuum.

Question 3.
What is the function of hair and wax in ear canal?
Answer:
The hair and wax in the ear canal help to keep out foreign debris such as dirt and bugs.

Question 4.
When we speak and hear, does any part of our body vibrate? Name them. Powered by Ultrasonic sound generators
Answer:
Yes. When we speak, vocal cords vibrate to produce sound and when we hear, eardrum vibrate to receive
the sound wave.

Question 5.
We have learnt that vibration is necessary for producing sound. Explain why the sound produced by every
vibrating body cannot be heard by us.
Answer:
If the sound of vibrating body is audible then only we will be able to heard it otherwise we will not be able to
hear it.
