Class 9 Science - Chapter Sound NCERT Solutions | What is the range of frequencies associa

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

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?

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?

How does an Amoeba obtain its food?

What does the path of an object look like when it is in uniform motion?

Number of valence electrons in Cl^-ion are:
(a) 16          (b) 8          (c) 17          (d) 18

(ii) aluminium chloride
(iii) sodium suphide
(iv) magnesium hydroxide

A certain household has consumed 250 units of energy during a month. How much energy is this in joules?

Why is it not possible to see an atom with naked eyes?

Explain, why is it difficult for a fireman to hold a hose, which ejects large amounts of water at a high velocity.

If number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then (i) what is the atomic number of the atom? and (ii) what is the charge on the atom?

A hockey ball of mass 200 g travelling at 10 m s^-1 is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity at 5 m s^-1. Calculate the change of momentum occurred in the motion of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.
