 Subject Abstract
Three powerful words that govern everything are force, motion, and energy. Our universe exists because
of the interplay of energy and forces of many types. Different movements result from these interactions.
Motion makes creation to continue thriving and developing.

This quarter comprises five units which provide comprehensive tackling of ideas and concepts. It covers
the three laws that govern motion that extends to the relationships of work, power, and energy. The topics
on Light and Sound and Heat and Electricity will follow. These topics are thoroughly discussed in simple,
practical, and easy-to-understand discussion.

 Light and Sound:
Light and sound are two very fascinating areas
studied in Physics. Our world is world is filled
with images and sounds. Both light and sound
are in forms of waves.

We commonly encounter lightning strikes and

thunder roar in our stormy skies. These represent
light waves and sound waves. We see lightning
and hear the thunder.

The fact that we see the light from the sun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-0gNl5f4BU
reaching us but not hear its sounds.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Fun Fact:
Lightning – light can travel in vacuum.
Sound – cannot travel in vacuum.

Light and sound exhibit interesting properties.

Sound can travel at different speeds in different
densities. Visible light, on the other hand, is
composed of different hues with different
wavelength, frequencies, and energies that
influence the way they are perceived.

SCIENCE
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL School Year: 2022 - 2023
 Sound We hear sounds through our ears. It is associated with our sense of
hearing. When our ears get stimulated by the sound waves, which
are longitudinal waves, sound is detected.

Sound is a disturbance that needs to travel into something.

A vibrating source produces a sound wave in the air.

Sound waves to be produce;

• There must be a source
• Must have a medium
• The last element is detector or a receiver

When this happens, energy gets transferred to the receiver in the

form of wave disturbance commonly known as sound.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Nature of Sound:
Sound is a longitudinal wave that is created by vibrating
objects. It is a mechanical wave that requires a medium to
propagate.

Sound that is heard every day may be classified as noise or

musical tone. Musical tone is produced by regular vibrations,
and noise is by irregular vibrations.

A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium or a

vacuum and carries energy. A single, unrepeated disturbance is
called a wave pulse. A succession of periodic disturbances of
periodic disturbances is called wave train.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Properties of Sound:
A wave can be described in terms of frequency,
period, wavelength, velocity, and amplitude.

The frequency (f) of a wage is the number of waves

produced per unit of time. It also refers to how often
the particles of the medium vibrate when a wave passes
through it.

Its SI (International Standard)unit is (hertz),

abbreviated as Hz.
1 Hz =1waves

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Properties of Sound:
The period (T) of a wave is the time taken for one
complete cycle of the wave to pass a reference point.
It is the reciprocal of frequency. Period, being a
measure of time, is expressed in units of time usually
in seconds.

Equation: T =1f

The amplitude (A) of a wave refers to the maximum

amount of a particle on the medium from its resting
position.

The greater the amplitude, the greater the energy

carried by the wave.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Properties of Sound:
Wavelength (λ)is the distance between any
two successive points in a wave that are in
phase with each other.

Two points are said to be in phase with each

other if they have the same mode of
vibration, which means they vibrate in the
same way. Otherwise, they are said to be out
of phase.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Properties of Sound:
Then, using T = 1f gives the standard wave
relationship; v =fλ. This equation is known as
the basic wave equation. It is a general
relationship that applies to sound and light
waves, other electromagnetic waves, and waves
in mechanical media.

This equation shows that if velocity is constant,

a high-frequency wave has a short wavelength.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Characteristics of Sound:
Sound may be described using three perceptual characteristics: pitch,
loudness, and quality. These three correspond to three physical
attributes: frequency, intensity, and waveform.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Characteristics of Sound:
1. Pitch
Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound. It
depends on the frequency of the sound produced by an
object.

According to the basic wave equation, a high-frequency

sound gives rise to a short wave and a low-frequency
sound produces a long wave.

Thus, a high - pitch sound must be a high-frequency

sound, consisting of short waves. A low-pitch sound must
be a low-frequency sound made up of long waves. Below
is the relationship between pitch, frequency, and
wavelength.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Characteristics of Sound:
2. Loudness
Energy is being transported in waves and energy is measured in
terms of its intensity.

Intensity refers to the energy delivered to a unit area of a

surface per unit time. The SI (International Standard) unit of
intensity is warts/m².

The loudness of sound is closely associated with intensity.

Sound intensity is perceived by the human ear as loudness.

The greater the intensity, the louder the sound. Intensity, in turn,
is proportional to the square of the amplitude and the square of
the frequency.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Characteristics of Sound:

Furthermore, intensity is inversely proportional to the

square of the distance from the source of the sound.
The human ear can tolerate a wide range of
intensities. The faintest sound lies at the threshold of
hearing, which has an intensity of 10-12 watt/m². The
loudest tolerable but painful sound has an intensity of
1 watt/m². This intensity is called threshold of pain.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Characteristics of Sound:
3. Quality
In an orchestra, one can distinguish the sounds
coming from the piano, organ, flute, violin,
saxophone, and other musical instruments.

Quality or timbre is the property of a tone that

distinguishes it from another tone of the same pitch
and intensity. Hermann Helmholtz found that the
quality of a sound depends on its harmonics.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE School Year: 2022 - 2023

 Characteristics of Sound:
Musical sounds do not usually originate in simple
vibrations but in a blending of vibrations that
modifies the form of a sound wave coming from an
instrument. This change from a simple to complex
vibration occurs because the instrument can produce
not just one frequency, but several other frequencies.

The lowest frequency it can produce is called

fundamental frequency. All other frequencies are
multiples of the fundamental frequency and are
called as harmonics.
