Important exam questions with answers
What is sound and how is it produced?
Sound is a form of energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears. It is produced by vibrating objects that create sound waves.
Why can't sound travel through vacuum?
Sound requires a material medium like air, water, or solids to travel because it moves by vibrating particles. In vacuum, there are no particles to vibrate, so sound cannot travel.
Name the vibrating parts in different musical instruments.
In a drum and tabla, the stretched membrane vibrates; in a guitar and violin, the strings vibrate; in a flute, the air column inside vibrates.

What is vibration in the context of sound?
Vibration is the rapid to and fro motion of an object about its mean position that produces sound. You can listen to detailed explanations on Harshali Academy.
How does sound travel from the source to our ears?
Sound travels as mechanical waves through compressions and rarefactions in a medium like air. Harshali Academy's audio lessons explain this process clearly.
Can sound energy be created or destroyed?
No, sound energy is a form of energy that is converted from other forms like mechanical energy, following the law of conservation of energy. Learn more on Harshali Academy.
How do vocal cords produce sound?
Vocal cords vibrate when air passes through them, producing sound. The strength of vibration changes the loudness of the voice.
Why does a tuning fork produce sound when struck?
When struck, the tuning fork's prongs vibrate rapidly, disturbing surrounding air particles and producing sound waves that reach our ears.
