SOUND
• Sound is a form of energy, just like electricity
and light, which travels in the form of waves .It
produces hearing sensation in our ears.
• A sound is produced when air molecules vibrate
and move in a pattern called waves or sound
waves.
• Example:-Think of when you clap your hands, or
when you slam the car door shut. That action
produces sound waves, which travel to your
ears and then to your brain, which says, "I
How is Sound Produced?
• Sound is produced when an object vibrates,

creating a pressure wave. This pressure wave
causes particles in the surrounding medium
(air, water, or solid) to have vibrational
motion. As the particles vibrate, they move
nearby particles, transmitting the sound
further through the medium.
• For Example:- In guitar when they pluck the
strings of a guitar, it vibrates and produces
sound. The sound produced by it travels
through the air which acts as the medium.
Production Of Sound in Humans
• In humans, voice is produced
by the larynx or voice box
present in the upper part of
the human body. The larynx is
present near the upper end of
the windpipe. Two vocal cords
present across the larynx
stretch in such a way that it
leaves a narrow space
between them for the passage
of air. When human speaks,
the muscles present in our
larynx get stretched and the
opening becomes narrower.
Production of Sound in Birds
• Nearly all birds produce sound through an
organ unique to birds, the syrinx. In many
songbirds, the syrinx is not much bigger than a
raindrop. Extremely efficient, it uses nearly all
the air that passes through it. By contrast, a
human creates sound using only 2% of the air
exhaled through the larynx. Birds whose syrinx
is controlled by only one set of muscles have a
limited vocal range.
Loudness of Sound
• This phenomenon of a sound depending on the

amplitude of the sound wave. If the amplitude of
the sound wave is large, then the sound is said to be
loud.
• It is directly proportional to the square of the
amplitude of vibration. If the amplitude of the
sound wave becomes double, then the loudness of
the sound will be quadrupled.
• It is expressed in decibel (dB).
• Sounds above 80 dB becomes noise to human ears.
Amplitude
• The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of
the height of the wave. The amplitude of a sound
wave can be defined as the loudness or the
amount of maximum displacement of vibrating
particles of the medium from their mean position
when the sound is produced. It is the distance
between crest or trough and the mean position of
the wave.
Pitch And Frequency
The Speed of Sound
• A sound wave is a pressure disturbance that

travels through a medium by means of
particle-to-particle interaction. As one particle
becomes disturbed, it exerts a force on the
next adjacent particle, thus disturbing that
particle from rest and transporting the energy
through the medium. Like any wave, the speed
of a sound wave refers to how fast the
disturbance is passed from particle to particle.
The Human Ear
• The ear's ability to do this

allows us to perceive the pitch
of sounds by detection of the
wave's frequencies, the
loudness of sound by detection
of the wave's amplitude and
the timbre of the sound by the
detection of the various
frequencies that make up a
complex sound wave.
• The ear consists of three basic
parts - the outer ear, the
middle ear, and the inner ear.
Each part of the ear serves a
specific purpose in the task of
detecting and interpreting
sound.
The Doppler Effect and Shock Waves
• The Doppler effect is a phenomenon observed

whenever the source of waves is moving with
respect to an observer. The Doppler effect can
be described as the effect produced by a
moving source of waves in which there is an
apparent upward shift in frequency for the
observer and the source are approaching and
an apparent downward shift in frequency
when the observer and the source is receding.
Sound Wave
• A sound wave, like any other wave, is introduced
into a medium by a vibrating object. The
vibrating object is the source of the disturbance
that moves through the medium. The vibrating
object that creates the disturbance could be the
vocal cords of a person, the vibrating string and
sound board of a guitar or violin, the vibrating
tines of a tuning fork, or the vibrating diaphragm
of a radio speaker.
