Answer the following questions:
31. Write the differences between
a) supersonic and ultrasonic sounds
b) frequency and amplitude
c) music and noise
Answer:
a) Ultrasonic is used for ultrasound waves and is defined as waves with frequency more than 20 kHz. They cannot be heard by human beings. Supersonic is used for objects which travel at a speed greater than the speed of sound.
b) Frequency is the number of times the object vibrates per second. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). Amplitude is the maximum displacement of an object from its mean position. Amplitude is measured in metres (m), etc.
c) Music is a type of sound which is pleasant to hear. Noise is a type of sound which is unpleasant to hear.
32. Expand
a) SONAR
b) RADAR
Answer:
a) SONAR stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging. It is technique that is used for determining the distance and direction of underwater objects with the help of sound waves.
b) RADAR stands for Radio Detection and Ranging. It is detection system that uses radio waves to determine the distance, angle or velocity of an object. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, vehicles, weather and terrain etc.
