  1. voice processor

  2. voice modulator

  3. voice box

  4. voice generator

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since the function of the larynx is to generate sound, its other name is voice box.

In humans, the sound is produced by:

physics sound sound produced by humans propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

  1. larynx

  2. wind pipe

  3. vocal cords

  4. lungs

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

    Sound in human body  is produced by larynx , it is an organ in the neck which controls the pitch and volume of sound and also blocks food to go through trachea . 

We, humans, produce sound by using

physics sound sound produced by humans propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

  1. oesophagus

  2. larynx

  3. thyroid Gland

  4. mouth

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Larynx is known as the voice box. It is located at the upper end of the windpipe. The vocal cords stretch the larynx in such a way that a passage is created between them. When air passes through this passage the vocal cords vibrate and produce sound.

What is the name of the strings which vibrate in our voice box when we talk?

physics sound sound produced by humans propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

  1. Oesophagus

  2. Pharyngeal slits

  3. Vocal cords

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When we talk, vibrations are produced in our vocal cord. When we touch our throat we can feel the vibrations.

Wavelength is expressed in:

physics sound sound produced by humans propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

  1. $N$

  2. $erg$

  3. $dyne$

  4. $A^0$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Wavelength, being a quantity of dimension of length, is expressed in $A^0$, i.e., angstroms.

$1\ A^0=10^{-10}\ m$

The back and forth motion of an object is called

physics sound sound is produced by a vibrating body propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

  1. vibration

  2. rotation

  3. translation

  4. linear motion

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When a body moves constantly from one position to the other and back to the initial position, then this motion of the body is called vibration.

Sound is produced by vibration. Define vibration.

physics sound sound is produced by a vibrating body propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

  1. Vibration is a rapid to and fro motion of the object.

  2. Vibration is a circular motion of the object.

  3. Vibration is a translational motion of the object.

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Vibration is a rapid to and fro motion of the object. 

Which of the following will produce sound through vibration.

physics sound sound is produced by a vibrating body propagation of sound production and propagation of sound

  1. A plastic scale when bent over the edge of a bench

  2. Saying 'Ah' for few seconds

  3. Plucking a rubber string by fingers

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All vibration produces sound. In some cases vibrations are visible to our naked eyes but Observe that sound is produced by vibration in some cases they can only be felt not seen. In all the above activities sound can be produced.
