Question

State whether the following statements are true or false:
(a) Sound cannot travel in vacuum.
(b) The number of oscillations per second of a vibrating object is called its time-period.
(c) If the amplitude of vibrations is large, sound is feeble.

Answer 2

True or False

Explanation:

(a) Sound cannot travel in vacuum. -- True.

(b) The number of oscillations per second of a vibrating object is called its time-period. -- False, it is called frequency.

(c) If the amplitude of vibrations is large, sound is feeble. -- False, Loudness is proportional to amplitude.

(d) The lower the frequency of vibration, the higher is the pitch. -- False.

(e) If the amplitude of vibrations is doubled, the loudness of sound also gets doubled. -- False, loudness is quadrapled.

(f) When the amplitude of vibrations is halved, the loudness of sound becomes one-fourth. -- True

(g) Unwanted or unpleasant sound is termed as music. -- False, it is noise.

(h) Noise pollution may cause partial hearing impairment. -- True.
