14 Extension/Homework The speed of sound Setting the scene Sounds do not reach us straightaway. You will learn why sounds travel at different speeds through solids, liquids, and gases. Aims In this activity you will: state the speed of sound in air state how the speed of sound varies in solids, liquids, and gases be able to link the particle arrangement in solids, liquids, and gases with the speed of sound. You will be working scientifically to: make predictions using scientific knowledge ask questions based on observations of the real world, and use previous knowledge and experience. Task Read the text and answer the questions that follow. After an earthquake, rescuers search for survivors under the rubble of fallen buildings. Every few minutes everyone stops what he or she is doing to listen very carefully. The rescuers are listening for shouts from survivors but more often they can hear tapping sounds when survivors tap stones or metal pipes. One person was rescued after 11 days trapped under rubble when the rescuers heard faint tapping sounds. The table shows the speeds of sound in different materials Material Speed of sound (m/s) Type of substance aluminium solid metal steel solid metal brick solid non-metal wood solid non-metal glycerol liquid water liquid mercury liquid metal helium 970 gas air 340 gas carbon dioxide 260 gas 14

15 Questions 1 State the speed of sound in air. Give the units. 2 State whether sound travel fastest in solids, liquids, or gases. 3 Explain why a sound travelling along a steel rod and an identical wooden rod reaches the end of the steel rod sooner. 4 Sounds travel through materials by passing vibrations from particle to particle. Particles in solids are very close together. They pass on vibrations better than particles in gases, which are far apart. Use this information to explain why tapping sounds from survivors after earthquakes travel better than shouting for help. Extension 1 Fill in the boxes to show how particles are arranged in solids, in liquids, and in gases. Solid Liquid Gas 15

16 2 Explain why sounds do not travel as quickly through liquids as through solids. 3 The Sun is incredibly noisy. The space between Earth and the Sun is called a vacuum, a place where there are no particles. Use these ideas to explain whether sounds from the Sun can reach Earth. 16

20 Wave diagrams Setting the scene We can see sound waves using an oscilloscope. The oscilloscope shows the sound wave as a transverse wave which changes shape when it gets louder or softer or changes pitch. In this activity you will draw diagrams to represent sound waves. Wave diagrams - help Use the following facts to help you answer the questions on your activity sheet. High-pitched sounds have a high frequency (waves appear closer together). Low-pitched sounds have a low frequency (waves are further apart). The loudest sounds have the highest decibel number. Animals that can hear sounds above the human hearing range hear sounds above Hz. Animals that can hear sounds below a dog s hearing range hear sounds lower than 40 Hz. The range of hearing is the difference between the highest frequency and the lowest frequency heard by an animal. Task 1 The diagram shows a transverse wave. Fill in the table to name the parts of the wave shown in the diagram. Choose from these words: amplitude peak trough wavelength Part of the wave Part of the diagram B D A C 20

27 HOMEWORK 4 Hearing and how it is damaged Setting the scene Our ears can be damaged over a period of time through exposure to high levels of noise. This activity sheet helps you understand how hearing is damaged and what you can do to prevent harm. Task 1 The diagram shows the structure of the ear. Complete the table with the correct name for each labelled part of the ear: Label Part of the ear A B C D E 27

28 2 Read the text and answer the questions below: Joe Joe played the drums in a rock band several times a month and sat next to the loudspeakers. After each gig Joe s ears would ring and he couldn t hear conversations but his hearing recovered after a few hours. Joe s friends asked him to wear earplugs or sit somewhere else but he wouldn t. When Joe wasn t playing at a gig he was listening to his favourite bands on his mp3 player for inspiration. He used earbud headphones to block out other sounds. After a few months Joe couldn t hear conversations clearly and needed to turn up the volume on his mp3 player. Joe started hearing a ringing sound in his ears most of the time and music sounded muffled. Joe s dad Joe s dad worked in a factory with constant noise from machinery. All workers wore earmuffs to protect their hearing from the constant noise. Joe s dad said the ringing sound was noise-induced tinnitus and it would get worse unless Joe stopped damaging his hearing. Joe and his dad both damaged their hearing because of noise exposure. Loud noises over a period of time damage hairs in the cochlea. Decibels measure how loud sounds are. Sounds less than 80 decibels do not damage these hairs but loud music through headphones (90 decibels) for half an hour a day will. Damage from a rock concert (100 decibels) can happen after just 15 minutes. The factory where Sam s dad worked produced sound levels of 95 decibels. To begin with, the hairs can recover and the damage is reversible but after a while the damage becomes permanent. Questions 1 Describe how Joe damaged his hearing. Include the length of time that each activity needs to go on to cause damage. 2 Describe three effects of damaged hearing. 3 Suggest two ways that Joe can protect his hearing. CWK What about Echoes and ultrasound? / / 28

29 I can describe what ultrasound is. I can describe some uses of ultrasound. I can explain with reasons why animals us echo-location. Key words to help with your answers: reflects ultrasound absorbs echo high frequency A B An echo is when sound off a surface and bounces back to where the original sound was made. [challenge] The frequency of ultrasound is. [Extra challenge] Summary questions 2 and 3 in your exercise book 29

30 Fill in the gaps [Extra challenge] [Super challenge] Using echoes Echoes are reflections of sound waves. You will have come across different examples of this in everyday life and may not have realised it. In this activity you will learn about the usefulness of echoes. Task Read the text and answer the questions that follow. If you walk into a large empty hall with stone walls and floors you may hear your footsteps echoing. Echoes are the sound reflections from hard surfaces. In a very large room, the echo is quiet and takes a long time to be heard. Echoes help animals find their position even if they cannot see, for example, at night or underwater. Dolphins make clicking sounds which reflect from nearby objects. As soon as the dolphin hears an echo it produces the next click. The clicks are heard in both ears so the dolphin can work out the distance and direction of the object. Questions 30

31 1 State what is meant by an echo. 2 Suggest why it is hard to hear an echo in the classroom. 3 Write down two ways dolphins use echoes. 4 Try this short experiment with a partner. One of you closes your eyes. The other person clicks their fingers near your head, for example, behind your head or to one side. Work out where the sound is coming from. 5 Use your experiment to explain how dolphins tell which direction the object is in. What have you learned this lesson? This lesson I learned about: Rate your learning for this lesson: Green Amber Red I understood all of the lesson and made excellent progress. My next step is: I understood most of the lesson and made good progress. I still need to learn about: I didn t really understand:
