Lesson

4 Physics: Sound

8
Sounds are all around us. We use our sense of hearing, as one of the five (5) basic
senses of the human body, in receiving and perceiving sounds by detecting vibrations
through our ears. Sounds are used in many ways like for communication,
entertainment, electronics, in the field of medicine, geology, oceanography and
ecology. Furthermore, the hearing of sound is also a learning tool that helps us
assess social and environmental situations. It gives us warning of potential danger
and allow us to respond to social cues like hearing fire alarms and blowing of horns
from cars.

In the previous grade level, you discovered the properties and characteristics of
sound such as pitch, loudness and quality of sound. You also described the
characteristics of sound using the concepts of wavelength, velocity, and amplitude.

In the following activities, you will discover more about sound.

What’s In

A sound is a form of energy produced by a vibrating object which travels in all

directions. Accordingly, it is an example of a longitudinal wave that consists of
compressions and rarefactions.

Figure 1.
Longitudinal wave

Moreover, it is also classified as a mechanical wave, meaning there has to be a matter

for which it can travel and propagate. This matter is known as a medium.

Have you ever wondered how sounds travel through your ears from the source of
sound? How about the factors that can affect the speed of sound? In the next
activities, you will discover the answers to these questions. Let’s begin.

What’s New

After conducting the activity, can you now infer that sounds travel through solids,
liquids, and gases? Remember that sound waves are mechanical waves. There is a
need for a medium for sound waves to travel and propagate. These media can either
be solids, liquids, or gases. The speed of sound in solid materials is faster compared
to liquid and gas.

What other factors may affect the speed of sound in a medium? What about
temperature? Can the temperature of the medium affect how sound moves? Let’s
find-out.

Sound with different air temperatures

________________________________________________________________________

12
Based on the previous activity, you learned that temperature can affect the speed of
sound particularly in air. Now, let’s further discuss the concept in this lesson.

What is It

Speed of sound refers to a speed at which sound waves propagate through different
materials.

In Activity 1, you were able to infer that sounds can travel through solids, liquids,
and gases. Sound waves need to travel through each of these mediums by vibrating
the particles in the matter.

Take a look at Figure2, what do you observe in the particles of the different mediums?

solid liquid gas

Figure 2. Particles of Different Media

The distances in each particle of different media are different. The liquid particles are
closer to each other than the gas particles. In liquids and solids, the particles of
solids are even closer together than the liquid particles. The distance between
particles of the medium like solid, liquid, and gas is an important factor in how sound
would be transmitted.

In Figure 3, when you tap the table, you

make the particles of the table to vibrate,
and the vibrations travel through it. Just
like steel, the table is a solid material. The
particles are closer together which enables
sound to travel faster than liquids and
gases, allowing it to carry waves easier and
more efficiently, resulting in a louder sound.

13
Liquids transmit sound better compared to
Figure 3. A boy tapping the table.
gases. In Figure 4, when you clink or strike
the metal spoons together, the sound is
heard. Since water is liquid, its particles are
closer than in gases that enable them to
generate a louder sound.

In Figure 5, when you listen to music and

communicate with people, sound waves
travel through air, which is a mixture of
gases. Among the three (3) mediums, sound
travel the slowest in gases because its
particles are loosely packed. Figure 4. A boy clinking or
striking the spoons.
However, the elasticity of different materials
varies. Elasticity is the ability of a material
to keep its shape when force is applied to it.
Between the steel and rubber, steel is rigid
hence it will experience a smaller
deformation than with rubber which is
flexible and can easily be deformed. A rigid
material has particles that quickly return to
their original form and vibrate at higher
speeds. Thus, sound travels faster in
materials with higher elasticity like steel.

The table below shows the speed of sound Figure 5. A family talking with
in different media. each other.

Table 1: Speed of sound in different media

Materials Speed of Sound (m/s)

Air (0 oC) 331
Helium (0oC) 1 005
Hydrogen (20oC) 1 300
Water 1 440
Seawater 1 560
Iron and steel 5 000
Aluminum 5 100
Hard wood 4 000
Source: Department of Education Science 7 LM

In general, the sound travels faster in solids and slowest in gases. Hence, sound
travels at different speeds depending on what medium it is passing through.
Additionally, sound cannot propagate in vacuum. Remember that sound waves need
medium. In the absence of medium, like solid, liquid and gas, sound waves would
not be transmitted.

What other factors may affect the speed of sound in a medium? What about
temperature? Can the temperature of the medium affect how sound moves?

14
In Activity 2, you were able to describe the effect of temperature to the speed of sound
and compare the speed of sound with different air temperatures.

Take a look at Figure 6, what do you observe in the particles at different

temperatures?

Figure 6. Particles of a medium at different temperatures

The movement of particles varies at different temperatures. When the temperature is

low, the particles move slower than at room temperature. However, when the
temperature is high, the particles move the fastest. This is due to more kinetic energy
in high temperature increasing the collisions of particles causing a faster speed of
sound.

In general, the speed of sound is directly affected by the temperature of the medium.
Sound travels faster through a medium at higher temperatures than at lower ones.
Higher temperature Faster speed of sound

Lower temperature Slower speed of sound

Now, you already learned the effect of temperature on the speed of sound. In the next
activity, you will further apply your understanding of the topic.

You’re doing great! In the next page, take note of the concepts that you learned from
the previous activities.

Remember these:

16
● Sound is a form of energy produced by vibrating objects.
● It is a mechanical and a longitudinal wave.
● Sound is transmitted through a medium. It can be solid, liquid, or gas.
● Sound travels fastest through a solid because the particles in a solid are
closer and packed together, so vibrations move rapidly from particle to
particle.
● In gas, the sound travels the slowest, because the particles are farther
apart.
● Sound cannot travel through a vacuum because of the absence of medium.
● Speed of sound refers to a speed at which sound waves propagate through
different materials.
● Sound waves travel at different speeds in different mediums.
● The speed of sound is directly affected by temperature.
● Sound travels faster through a medium at higher temperatures than at
lower ones.
● As the temperature of the air increases, the speed of sound in air increases.
● As a substance heats up, its particles move faster, so they collide more
frequently. The more frequent the collisions are, the faster the speed of
sound is in the material.

Let’s sum-up your learning from the previous activities on the next page.

Now you’ve got it! In the next activity, you will try to solve for the speed of sound in
air at a given temperature.

18
What I Can Do

𝑚
Sound travels at about 331 in dry air at 00C. Since the speed of sound is directly
𝑠
affected by the temperature of the medium, the speed of sound changes when the
temperature changes. At high temperatures, the sound travels at a higher speed and
vice versa. This means that at temperatures greater than 00C speed of sound is
𝑚 𝑚/𝑠
greater than 331 by an amount 0.6 of the temperature of the medium.

In this module, you learned the effect of temperature on the speed of sound. Looking
at the other side, let’s appreciate the values that we earned while learning, especially
the importance of sound.

Life Lesson

Sound is an important component of the world. It makes our life

meaningful based on what we experience through our senses. Through sounds,
we can listen. Good listening connects us to the world and allows us to
understand better what is happening around us. It is also a way of building a
good relationship with other people. Through listening, we also expand our
horizon by allowing ourselves to reflect, learn, and grow by respecting the ideas,
and perspectives of others.
