Ques: What is S.I unit of wave length?

Ans: S.I unit of wave length is meter.

Ques: By what organ human produces sound?

Ans: Vocal cord. (Larynx)

Ques: How do we produce sound?

Ans: Two vocal cords, are stretched across the voice box or larynx in such a way that it leaves a narrow slit between them for the passage of air When the lungs force air through the slit, the vocal cords vibrate, producing sound.

Ques: Write the function of eardrum.

Ans: The eardrum sends vibrations to the inner ear.

Ques: What is oscillatory motion?                                                                

Ans: The to and fro motion of an object is known as vibration. This motion is also called oscillatory motion.

Ques: What is frequency? Write is its S.I unit?

Ans: The number of oscillations or vibrations per second is called the frequency of oscillation. The frequency is expressed in hertz (Hz).

Ques: On which measure does loudness of sound depend?

Ans: On its amplitudes.

Ques: What are two important properties of sound?

Ans: Amplitude and frequency are two important properties of any sound.
