Explain how defects in a metal block can be detected using ultrasound.
Ultrasounds can be used to detect cracks and flaws in metal blocks. Defects in metal blocks occur due to crack in them. Cracks have air in them. The speed of sound in metal is greater than that in air. Thus, air acts as a rarer medium for sound waves. Whenever ultrasound is transmitted through a metal block that has defects, these waves get reflected in encountering such cracks. Therefore, these waves are not detected at the detector placed on the other side of the block, opposite to that of the transmitter. This indicates that there is a defect in the block.
Explain the working and application of a sonar.
Explain how sound is produced by your school bell.
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.
Explain how the human ear works.
How is ultrasound used for cleaning?
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?
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.

Who discovered cells, and how?
Draw a labelled diagram of a neuron.
A bus decreases its speed from 80 km h-1 to 60 km h-1 in 5 s. Find the acceleration of the bus.
A trolley, while going down an inclined plane, has an acceleration of 2 cm s-2. What will be its velocity 3 s after the start?
Explain any one method of crop production which ensures high yield.
A person holds a bundle of hay over his head for 30 minutes and gets tired. Has he done some work or not? Justify your answer.
