The parts of sound waves where air pressure is lesser, is known as

  • compression
  • rarefaction
  • consolation
  • expansion

The pleasant sound of music depends on its

  • amplitude
  • frequency
  • wavelength
  • volume

The lowest level of frequency a human ear can detect, is

  • 2 Hz
  • 20 Hz
  • 20kHz
  • 2kHz

The loss of sound energy depends on

  • the density of an object
  • the matter it is passing through
  • energy level of sound
  • resistance in a matter

A component of our body that reflects x-rays is known as

  • heart
  • bones
  • stomach
  • brain

We can hear the voice of alarm clock when there is

  • vacuum in the jar
  • air in the jar
  • liquid in the jar
  • space in the jar

Sound travels more fast in

  • air
  • liquids
  • solids
  • all of above

Sound waves spread out from

  • the source
  • air
  • water vapors
  • object

The longer, the echo takes, the

  • shallower the water
  • the deeper the water
  • the denser the water
  • the warmer the water

Sound moves in air because

  • temperature is passed on
  • humidity is passed on
  • pressure is passed on
  • heat is passed on

Sound cannot travel in vacuum because

  • there is no pressure in vacuum
  • there is no air in vacuum
  • there is no humidity in vacuum
  • there are no particle in vacuum

Sound created by musical instruments is amplified by

  • increasing string vibration
  • decreasing string vibration
  • wooden sound box
  • metallic sound box

The length of air cutting is changed by

  • valves
  • fingers
  • valves and fingers
  • hands

An example of stringed instruments is

  • guitar
  • saxophone
  • drum
  • flute

If we put our ear by the wall, we will

  • not hear anything
  • hear everything from other side
  • some sounds from other side but not clearly
  • noise of traffic, aircrafts and machines

Short waves have

  • low energy
  • high energy
  • same energy as long waves
  • low frequency

Musical sounds are organized into

  • notes
  • pitch
  • wave fronts
  • phases

If frequency of sound wave is 100 Hz, it will send

  • 1 wave in 100 seconds
  • 2 waves in 50 seconds
  • 100 waves in one second
  • 50 waves in two seconds

As we turn older, our ears get

  • less sensitive to low pitched sound
  • more sensitive to low pitched sound
  • less sensitive to high pitched sound
  • more sensitive to high pitched sound

The term "vibration" has been derived from Latin word

  • loqui
  • vibrationem
  • silentium
  • biennium

Repetition of sound in empty hall is known as

  • echo
  • harsh echo
  • hollow echo
  • soft echo

String instruments produce sound when

  • string is pushed
  • string is pulled
  • string is banged
  • string lift up

The sequence of notes is known as

  • plain
  • scale
  • balance
  • proportion

Long exposure to sounds is dangerous for

  • ears
  • brain
  • nerves
  • eyes

Tiny lumps of solid matter grew in kidney are known as

  • kidney larva
  • kidney stone
  • kidney salts
  • urea stone

A device for viewing oscillations by a display on the screen of a cathode ray tube is called

  • telescope
  • microscope
  • oscilloscope
  • stethoscope

Sound is carried to our ears through

  • pressure
  • vibrations
  • temperature effect
  • humidity effect

Light travels

  • slow than sound
  • fast than sound
  • at the same speed as of sound
  • at different speed as of sound
