    Grade-8 (Science) Review Sheet Solutions

    1. Answers based on the loudness diagram:

    (a) The right end of the scale has the loudest sounds.

    (b) A motorbike is louder than a car.

    (c) According to the diagram, the loudness of a television set is approximately 70 dB.

    (d) Not all conversations have the same loudness. Factors like the speaker's volume, distance, and

    surrounding environment can affect the loudness of a conversation.

    2. Frequency of sound:

    (a) 20000 Hz is equivalent to 20 kHz.

    (b) No, a person with normal hearing cannot hear a sound of 45 kHz, as it is above the hearing

    range of 20 Hz to 20000 Hz.

    3. Vibrations of a loudspeaker:

    (a) If the pitch becomes higher, the vibrations will become faster.

    (b) If the note becomes louder, the vibrations will have a greater amplitude.

    4. Frequency calculations:

    (a) The frequency is 250 Hz, as the string vibrates 250 times per second.

    (b) The drum skin moves up and down 100 times per second.

    5. Sound wave diagram:

    (a) The amplitude is the maximum height of the wave from the midline.

    (b) A wave with the same amplitude but higher frequency will have more cycles in the same space.

    6. Musical instruments:

    (a) The instrument with the smallest range of frequencies is the one with the narrowest difference between

    (b) The instrument producing the shortest wavelength has the highest frequency.
    (c) The instrument with the lowest pitch produces the lowest frequency sound.

    7. Vibrating metal strip:

    (a) The frequency of vibration refers to the number of times the strip vibrates per second.

    (b) The amplitude of vibration is the maximum distance the strip moves from its mid-position.

    8. Oscilloscope traces:

    (a) From A to B, the loudness of the sound increases, and the frequency stays the same.

    (b) Wave 1 and Wave 2 combine through constructive interference.

    Wave 3 and Wave 4 combine through destructive interference.

    9. Practical application of noise cancellation:

    Noise cancellation uses destructive interference to reduce unwanted sound. It is commonly used in

    headphones to provide a quieter listening environment. Sound waves that reinforce each other can

    amplify signals, which is beneficial in music production and communication systems.
