CBSE IX Chapter – Sound: Board Question Paper

JSUNIL TUTORIAL, BIHAR   IX CH – SOUND QUESTIONS 

Q 1 Frequency of a wave motion is 250 Hz. What is its time period?

Q 2. What do you mean by an Oscillation of a sound wave?

Q 3 Derive a relation between speed, frequency and wavelength of a sound wave?

Q 4 A sound wave has a frequency of 2 kHz and wavelength 40 cm. Calculate its speed?

Q 5 Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and speed is 440 m/s in a given 
medium?

Q 6 Calculate a) the wavelength b) the time period of a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz that is set to vibrate. Velocity of sound in air is 320 m/s.  

Q 7 What is the wavelength of sound waves produced in air by a vibrating tuning fork whose frequency is 
256 Hz when the velocity of sound in air is  330 m/s ?  

Q 8 Why the flash of lightning due to collision of clouds is seen much before the thunder, although both occur  simultaneously?

Q 9 What do you understand by speed of sound? How does it depend upon the medium and temperature?

Q 10 What is reflection of sound? Explain the laws of reflection with respect to sound?

Q 11 What is Echo. Explain the conditions that have to be satisfied to hear an echo?

Q 12 Why do echoes produced in an empty auditorium usually decrease when it is full of audience?

Q 13 What is reverberation?   

Q 14 A girl clapped his hands near a cliff and heard the echo after 5 s. What is the distance of the cliff from 
the person if the speed of the sound, velocity of sound in air is taken as 346 m/s?   

Q 15 A boy fires a gun and hears the echo 2 seconds later. If he is 480 m away from a wall, calculate the 
velocity of sound in air?

Q 16 Explain the term audible range, Infrasonic frequencies, Ultrasonic frequencies?

Q 17 Explain how is the principle of echo used by

(a) The bat during its flight at night.  (b) The dolphin to locate small fish as its prey.

Q 18 Figure shows a waveform of frequency 50 Hz in a string. The numbers in the string represent distance 
in centimeter. For this  wave motion, find: (a) wavelength (b) amplitude,

Q.19. What should be the minimum distance between a sound source and reflector for a distinct echo?

Q.20. Which part of the ear turns pressure variations into electrical signals?
