Sound is a mechanical wave. Justify
Can sound wave travel in vacuum?
Examples of electromagnetic waves
Factors affecting the speed of sound
Speed of sound in solid, liquid, and gas (very important)
Audible range for humans and other animals
Propagation of sound. Can sound propagate through vacuum?
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
Why sound needs a medium to travel?
What type of wave is represented by density-distance graph?
Transverse wave cannot travel through gases or air. Why?
Definition of wave length, frequency, time period, amplitude, and oscillation
What is wave number?
Relation between speed, frequency, and wave length
Concept and formation of compressions (C) and rarefactions (R)
What do you mean by quality of sound?
Which wave property determines
(a) Loudness (b) Pitch

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?
What is intensity of sound? Intensity and loudness are same or different. Explain
A sound wave has frequency of 2 KHz and wavelength 35 cm. How long will it take to travel 1.5 Km
Is there any difference between reflection of sound and reflection of light?
What is echo? Echo is related to reflection or refraction?
Numerical based on echo.(Very important)
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–1?
Reverberation and its applications
Uses of multiple reflections of sound
Ceilings of cinema halls and conference halls are always curved. Why?
Frequency range of ultrasound and its uses (Important)
Expand SONAR and mention its uses
A ship sends out ultrasound that returns from the seabed and is detected after 3.42 s. If the speed of ultrasound through seawater is 1531 m/s, what is the distance of the seabed from the ship?
