Science 8

Sound is produced by vibration. When an object vibrates, it causes variations in air pressure that travel in waves. These sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. The speed at which sound travels depends on the density of the medium - it is fastest in solids like steel, slower in liquids like water, and slowest in gases like air. Common experiments are described to demonstrate how sound is produced by vibration and can travel through different media like rubber bands, tuning forks, and underwater bells.

sound

• Sound is a form of energy like heat and light


• Sound is a form of energy which produces a
sensation of hearing in our ears
VIBRATION
A vibration is a rapid back and forth
movement of an object about its mean
position. A sound is produced because of
vibration.
SOUND IS PRODUCED BY A
VIBRATING OBJECT
METHOD :
Take a rubber band. Put it around
the longer side of a pencil box.
Insert two pencils
between the box and the stretched
rubber. Now, pluck the rubber band
somewhere in the middle.
OBSERVATION:
You observe that the rubber band
vibrates and produce sound
CONCLUSION:
Sound is produced by a vibrating object
TUNING FORK
• Tuning fork is a U
shaped steel piece with
a handle the two arms
of tuning fork are called
prongs and the handle
is called is stem
VIBRATING TUNING FORK
PRODUCES SOUND
SOUND NEED A MEDIUM TO
TRAVEL
The substance are matter through which sound
is transmitted is called a medium.
SOUND CAN TRAVEL THROUGH
LIQUID
METHOD:
Take a bell and put it inside a
bucket with water . Shake the
bell , put your ear just touching
the water level in the bucket
and shake the bell again
OBSERVATION:
When you put your ear just
touching the water level in the
bucket you hear a louder
sound
CONCLUSION :
Sound travel through liquid
SPEED OF SOUND

Sound travels with different speeds in different medium

 The speed with which sound waves travel depends on


the nature and density of the medium
 Sound travels faster in solids
 Speed of sound in steel is 5960 m/s
 Slower in liquids
 Speed of sound in water is 1531 m/s
 Slowest in gases
 Speed of sound in air is 340 m/s
