1.

What do we call the vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a

transmission medium such as gas, liquid or solid?

a)

Song

b)

Sound

c)

Wave

d)

Zone

2.

Sound plays a vital role in our daily living. Communication is one among of its

uses. Can we also use sound in emergency response?

a)

No, because sound is used only for communication.

b)

No, because it leads others in panic if a loud sound will be produced.

c)

Yes, because a loud sound can drive away a strong typhoon or flood.

d)

Yes, because a loud sound can be the fastest way inform the community

that a disaster might come.

8.

Which of the following statements BEST describes the relationship between a

sound and medium?

a)

Sound is affected by different media.

b)

Sound cannot pass in different media except in gas.

c)

Sound is affected by different molecules of each given material. Thus, it

makes this travels fast and slow.

d)

Sound is not affected by different molecules of each given material. Thus,

it makes this travels fast and slow.

What makes sounds travel faster in solid than in gas?

a)

The arrangement of molecules

b)

The arrangement of the container

c)

The temperature of each material

c)

II, III and IV only

d)

I, II and III only

15.

Each object can produce a unique sound. Are all objects able to produce sound
