Assertion-Reasoning Questions
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below: - Assertion: The shape of the outer part of the ear is like a funnel.
Reason: The eardrum is like a stretched rubber sheet. - Assertion: The eardrum is not essential for hearing.
Reason: The eardrum sends vibrations to the inner ear. - Assertion: Sound can travel through water.
Reason: Sound requires a medium for propagation. - Assertion: In humans, the sound is produced by the larynx.
Reason: The vocal cords within the larynx vibrate to produce sound waves.
Case-Based Questions - During science class, Ravi’s teacher explained that the audible range of sound for humans is between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. This means that sounds with frequencies below 20 Hz or above 20,000 Hz cannot be heard by humans. Ravi was curious and decided to experiment at home. He used a frequency generator app on his brother’s phone and played sounds with different frequencies. He found that he could not hear sounds with frequencies below 20 Hz or above 20,000 Hz.
Answer the following question based on the given information.
(a) What is the audible range of sound for humans?
(b) Why can’t Ravi hear sounds with frequencies below 20 Hz or above 20,000 Hz?
(c) How does the frequency of a sound affect its pitch?
(d) State the difference between high-pitch sound and low-pitch sound.
