SOUND

Sound :--

               Sound is a form of energy which produces a sensation of hearing in our ears.  Sound waves that we can hear or sound is made up of the vibrations.  The to and fro motion of the body is called as vibration.

Sound is a vibration that propagates as and acoustic wave, through a transmission medium such as solid, liquid or gas.

Sound is defined as Oscillation in pressure, stress, particle displacement, particle velocity, etc., propagated in a medium with the internal forces (such as elastic or viscous) or the superposition of such propagated oscillation.

The sound is the form of energy that helps in the listening of human being. And also sound is a form of the kinetic mechanical energy which moves in a form of a wave.

Hertz (Hz) and Decibel (DB) are used measurement units to measure the sound.

 

 

Production of the sound?

The object is vibrating and produces the sound. Vibration means a kind of rapid to and fro motion of a object. Sound is produced by the plucking, scratching, rubbing, blowing or shaking different objects. The sound of the human being voice is produced by the vibrations in the vocal cords.

To understand the production of the sound, let us do some activities.

Let us take a tuning fork and when we strike the prong of tuning fork on the rubber pad, it starts vibrating. And emits the sound. Also our fingers also feels some vibrations.  These vibrations cause the nearby molecules to vibrate. And transmitting the sound further through the medium (air, water or solid). The human ear detects sound wave when vibrating the air particles vibrate small parts within the ear.   

If a metal is struck by the hammer, it produces a sound or if a metal falls on the surface of the ground it produces a vibrations and this vibration generates waves in the medium which oscillates the membrane of our ear, allowing to perceive sound but if  we touch this metal then sound will get reduced.

 Sound is created by blowing through the flute, plucking a musical instrument’s string or vibrating the membrane of a drum.

METAL And Chemical Properties of metals

  METAL Metal is a element that has metallic bond and have positive ions or cations. Metal is a lattice of positive ions that are surrounded by the cloud of the electrons. In the pure state, metal have a shining surface. This properties are called metallic luster . Here, metals are generally hard. Metals are malleable, because they can be hammered into thin sheets. This property is called as malleability . Metals are ductile it means they can be drawn into wires. The ability of the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called as ductility . For example:--   gold is most ductile metal. Due to the properties of the ductility and malleability, metals can be given in different shapes as per their needs. Metals are opaque Metals are lustrous elements that are good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are denser than the other substances. Metals are good conductor of heat. For example :-- silver and copper. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. ...

Food chains and webs, Tropic levels

Food chains and webs   Food chain is the sequence of organisms in which nutrients and energy is transferred in the form of food from one organism to another organisms. Food chain is the possible pathway in which nutrients and energy is transferred through an ecosystem. A food chain is the linear network of links in which a food web is starting from producers organisms and is ending at decomposers.   A food chain shows a series or organisms taking part at various biotic level. Each steps or levels of the food chain forms a tropic level . The tropic level of an organisms is the position it occupies in a food web. Organisms in food chain are grouped into categories are known as trophic levels. Tropic levels are divided into various levels:--   Producers:--                      The producers or the autotrophs are the first trophic level.   All green plant...

Eco system

                            Eco system   Eco system is a complex relationship among all organisms such as plants , animals , microorganisms and the human beings and the physical surroundings. And they interact with each other and maintain a balance in environment. An ecosystem is a biological community   of interacting organisms   and their physical environment with non-living organisms form an ecosystem. Thus, an eco system consists of biotic and abiotic components A biotic   component comprising all living organisms. A abiotic components comprising physical factors like temperature, rainfall, wind soil, minerals, etc.   A garden is an eco system In a garden, when we go to the garden, we see that there is different types of plants like as grasses, trees, flower plants like rose jasmine, etc and animals like frogs...
