(a) By heating it.
(b) By changing its colour.
(c) By vibrations.
(d) By cooling it.
Ans: (c) By vibrations.
2. In humans, sound is produced by the vibration of which of the following?
(a) Lips.
(b) Vocal cords.
(c) Nasal cavity.
(d) Teeth.
Ans: (b) Vocal cords.
3. A space where there is no material medium is referred to as:
(a) Atmosphere.
(b) Liquid.
(c) Vacuum.
(d) Solid.
Ans: (c) Vacuum.
4. Which experiment is commonly used to show that sound needs a medium to propagate?
(a) Gold foil experiment.
(b) Vacuum bell jar experiment.
(c) Tuning fork experiment.
(d) Slinky experiment.
Ans: (b) Vacuum bell jar experiment.
5. Can astronauts communicate directly by speaking to each other during a spacewalk?
(a) Yes, sound travels faster in space.
(b) Yes, sound travels as a transverse wave.
(c) No, because outer space is a near vacuum and sound cannot propagate.
(d) No, because their vocal cords do not vibrate in space.
