Three different vibrating objects produce three types of sounds X, Y and Z. Sounds X and Y cannot be heard by a man having normal range of hearing but sound Z can be heard easily. The sound X is used in hospitals to break kidney stones of a patient into fine grains whioch then get flushed out with urine. The sound Y is similar to that which is produced during an earthquake before the main shock wave is generated.

(a) What type of sounds are (i) X, (ii) Y, and (iii) Z?


(b) Name one device which can produce sound like X.


(c) Name one device in a science laboratory which can produce sound like Y.


(d) Name one device in our homes which can produce sound like Z.


(e) What is the frequency range of sounds like Z?

(a) X is ultrasonic sound, Y is infrasonic sound, and Z is audiable sound.

(b) Ultrasound machine can produce sound like X.


(c) A device in a science laboratory which can produce sound like Y is simple pendulum.


(d) The frequency range of sounds like Z is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz.
