Class 9 Science - Chapter Sound NCERT Solutions | What is the audible range of the average

Explain the working and application of a sonar.

Explain how sound is produced by your school bell.

Explain how defects in a metal block can be detected using ultrasound.

Distinguish between loudness and intensity of sound.

A sound wave travels at a speed of 339 m s^-1. If its wavelength is 1.5 cm, what is the frequency of the wave? Will it be audible?

Which characteristic of the sound helps you to identify your friend by his voice while sitting with others in a dark room?

A sonar device on a submarine sends out a signal and receives an echo 5 s later. Calculate the speed of sound in water if the distance of the object from the submarine is 3625 m.

How is ultrasound used for cleaning?

Explain how the human ear works.

Which wave property determines
(a) loudness,    (b) pitch?

Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?

State the universal law of gravitation.

Which of the following are matter?

Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

What is meant by a pure substance?

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

What are canal rays?

State any two conditions essential for good health.

How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?

Who discovered cells, and how?

What can you say about the motion of an object if its speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?

A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds?

Which of the following is true for displacement?

(a) It cannot be zero.
(b) Its magnitude is greater than the distance travelled by the object.

If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 gram, what is the mass (in gram) of 1 atom of carbon?

A bus decreases its speed from 80 km h^-1 to 60 km h^-1 in 5 s. Find the acceleration of the bus.

Compare all the proposed models of an atom given in this chapter.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 49 m/s. Calculate
(i) the maximum height to which it rises,
(ii) the total time it takes to return to the surface of the earth.

An object of mass 100 kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5 m s^-1 to 8 m s^-1 in 6 s. Calculate the initial and final momentum of the object. Also, find the magnitude of the force exerted on the object.

Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your might and fail to move it? Where is the energy you spend going?

When will you say a body is in

(i) uniform acceleration? (ii) non-uniform acceleration?
