SOUND MCQS

Sound is produced due to

friction
circulation
vibration
refraction

Sound passes from one place to another in form of

rays
waves
energy
light

In which of following, speed of sound is least?

Air
Liquid
Solid
Vacuum

Sound waves have

Amplitude only
Frequency and wavelength only
Amplitude, frequency and wavelength
Amplitude and wavelength only

Sound waves include

troughs and crests
compressions and crests
troughs and rarefactions
compressions and rarefactions

Sound waves can pass through

vacuum
air only
air and other states of matter
vacuum and other states of matter

In which of following, speed of sound is greatest?

Air
Liquid
Solid
Vacuum
Distance between two consecutive compressions and rarefactions is termed as
frequency
amplitude
wavelength
wave point

Sound can be transmitted through a medium which

contains charge
has higher density than air
contains molecules that vibrate
contains molecules that collide

Sound is a
form of power
form of energy
form of transverse waves
form of latitudinal waves

Sound waves travel at

same speed in different mediums
different speed in same mediums
different speed in different mediums
highest speed in vacuum

If temperature increases, speed of sound

also increases
decreases
remains same
may increase or decrease

Compared to air, sounds travel faster in

liquids
gases
vacuum
fluids

Sounds of traffic, aircrafts and machines are called

artificial sounds
natural sounds
man-made sounds
noise
 Astronauts use radios to communicate, this is because
sound travels at very high speed in vacuum
sound does not travel in vacuum
sound energy in the vacuum may burst the eardrums
sound energy turns into light in vacuum

Sound waves are detected by

speakers
electronics
microphones
computers

Sounds are measured in units called

Hertz (Hz)
Decibels (dB)
Meters (m)
Pascal (Pa)

Unlike light, sounds cannot

pass through transparent solids
pass through air
pass through liquids
pass through vacuum

Sound loses more energy in

air
vacuum
liquid
solid

Loud noise can

damage our ears
make us ill
disturb our sleep
interrupt conversation

Sound is made louder by increasing

wavelength
frequency
wave front
amplitude
Human organs that detect sound are
eyes
ears
nose
tongue

Echoes are formed when sound

strikes a wall and reflects back
strikes a wall and is absorbed
hits the eardrum and keeps on hitting
is too loud

In a flute, length of air cutting through holes is changed by

changing length
changing valves
fingers
sealers

Sound can travel in air because

air has pressure
air has humidity
air has particles
air has temperature

Microphone changes sound waves into

mechanical signals
electrical signals
light signals
wave signals

These repeated sounds in an empty hall are known as

echoes
grief echoes
hollow echoes
soft echoes

Signals are showed up in a monitor called

Cathode Tube
Anode Tube
Oscilloscope
Cathode Scope
Sound is carried to our ears by
pressure
vibrations
temperature effect
humidity effect

Light travels
slower than sound
faster than sound
at the same speed as sound
at different speeds as compared to sound

Sound travels more in

air
liquids
soft solids
hard solids

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 particles in vacuum

Lowest level of frequency a human ear can detect is

2 Hz
20 Hz
20kHz
2kHz

Frequency is measured in units called

Meters
Hertz
Watts
Ohms

Animal that uses echoes is known as

Bat
Snake
Rat
Rabbit
Sound travels fastest in solids because the
particles vibrate more vigorously
particles move faster
collision of particles is greater
particles are closely packed

Height of a wave is known as

Amplitude
Wave front
Volume
Space of sound

Speed of sound in water is

100 m/s
200 m/s
1500 m/s
2000 m/s

Number of sound waves sent per second is known as

wave front
wavelength
frequency
amplitude

A reflected sound is known as

Reflection of sound
Rarefaction
Refraction of sound
Echo

Highest level of frequency a human ear can detect is

2 Hz
20 Hz
20kHz
2kHz

Sound travels fastest in

Gases
Liquids
Solids
Plasma
Sounds with a higher frequency then a human ear can detect are known as
Infrasound
Ultrasounds
High sounds
Low sounds

A wave with ups and downs is known as

Transverse waves
Longitudinal waves
Latitudinal waves
Horizontal waves

Bats also use ultrasound to prevent

predators
homes
preys
obstacles

Unwanted or unpleasant sounds are known as

Music
Noise
Filters
Rush

Speed of sound in air is

3000 m/s
300 m/s
3300 m/s
330 m/s

Medical use of ultrasound is to detect the

baby
cancer cells
infected parts of the body
damaged organs

An animal that can hear sounds with higher frequency than human ear is
whale
pigeon
snake
dog
Wave with compressions and rarefactions is known as
Transverse waves
Longitudinal waves
Latitudinal waves
Horizontal waves

Ships use echolocation to measure the

size of fish
density of water
depth of water
area of ocean
