HOMEWORK
1. Define the term sound.
Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.
2. What is the difference between sound and noise?
Sounds are mechanical waves of pressure allow us to hear and listen. Noises are unwanted and loud sounds. Noise can also refer to the static that is heard on the TV or radio during weak signals.
3. Differentiate between sound and vibration.
Sound waves are resulted due to vibrations
4. Describe the relationship between the pitch of sound and the cycle of sound waves.
Sound is represented by a wavy line that crosses above and below the straight line.
The more frequently the sound waves cross the normal atmospheric pressure line (the shorter the cycle), the higher the pitch of the sound.
The greater the vertical distance above and below the atmospheric pressure line, the louder or more intense the sound.
5. List and briefly explain the three broad types of industrial noise.
Wide band noise: is noise that is distributed over a wide range of frequencies. Most noise from manufacturing machines is wide band noise.
Narrow band noise: is noise that is
