Question 1

Question
How is sound produced?
Answer
  • Through the creation of electrical energy which travels though through an elastic medium
  • Through the displacement of an elastic medium
  • Through the creation of mechanical energy that breaks down an elastic medium
  • Through the displacement of a mechanical medium

Question 2

Question
When does a) compression and b) rarefaction occur?
Answer
  • a) When there is a reduction in pressure at a point in the elastic medium b) When there is an increase in pressure at a point in the elastic medium
  • a) When there is an increase in pressure at a point in the elastic medium b) When there is a decrease in pressure at a point in the elastic medium
  • a) When there is no pressure change at a point in the elastic medium b) When there is a decrease in pressure at a point in the elastic menium
  • a) When there is an increase in pressure at a point in the elastic medium b) When there is no pressure change at a point in the elastic medium

Question 3

Question
How is the sound transmitted across the elastic medium (to the ear)?
Answer
  • It's propagated along a wave of mechanical energy until it is funneled into the ear by the pinnae
  • It is propagated along a wave of neural energy until it is funneled into the ear by the pinnae
  • It is propagated along a wave of neural energy until it makes contact with the pinnae resulting in an action potential
  • It is propagated along a wave of mechanical energy until it makes contact with the pinnae resulting in an action potential

Question 4

Question
When can the process of sound transmission occur?
Answer
  • When there is carbon dioxide present to fuel the energy
  • When there is an elastic medium present such as in water or in a vacuum
  • In a vacuum only
  • When there is en elastic medium present
