FAQs on HC Verma Solutions: Chapter 16 - Sound Waves - Physics Class 11 - NEET

1. What are sound waves and how are they produced?
Ans. Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves that propagate through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. They are produced by the vibration of a source, such as a speaker or a musical instrument. These vibrations create compressions and rarefactions in the medium, which then propagate as sound waves.
2. How does the frequency of a sound wave affect its pitch?
Ans. The frequency of a sound wave directly affects its pitch. Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived to be. Higher frequency waves have a higher pitch, while lower frequency waves have a lower pitch. For example, a high-frequency sound wave will have a higher pitch, like that of a whistle, while a low-frequency sound wave will have a lower pitch, like that of a bass drum.
3. What is the speed of sound in different mediums?
Ans. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which it travels. In dry air at 20 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second. However, the speed of sound is faster in solids and liquids compared to gases. For example, in water, sound travels at around 1482 meters per second, and in steel, it can reach speeds of up to 5960 meters per second.
4. How does the amplitude of a sound wave affect its loudness?
Ans. The amplitude of a sound wave directly affects its loudness. The amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of particles in the medium caused by the wave. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude corresponds to a softer sound. This is because a higher amplitude wave compresses the particles in the medium more, resulting in a stronger perception of sound.
5. Can sound waves travel in a vacuum?
Ans. No, sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium to propagate, such as air, water, or solids. In a vacuum, there are no particles to vibrate and transmit the sound waves. Therefore, sound cannot travel through empty space or vacuum. This is why sound cannot be heard in outer space, where there is no air or other medium for sound to travel through.
