Question 6

Figure shows four waves A, B, C and D.

Figure shows four waves A, B, C and D. Name the wave which shows a note from a musical instrument, a soft note, a shrill note. Sound, Concise Physics Solutions ICSE Class 8.

Name the wave which shows

(a) a note from a musical instrument,

(b) a soft note,

(c) a shrill note.

Answer

(a) Note from a musical instrument is shown by figure (d) because the sound produced by the musical instruments comprises of different frequencies and amplitudes resulting in a mixed type of wave form.

(b) Soft note is shown by figure (a) because this wave has low amplitude.

(c) Shrill note is shown by figure (c) because this wave has high frequency.
