- The person would hear a lot of noise in heavy city traffic. Hence, he can conclude that he was in a city.
- The person would hear a very little noise in village traffic. Hence, he can conclude that he was in a village.
- The person would hear echoes when talking in a bare room.
- In furnished room, echo is very less. Hence, he can conclude that he was in a furnished room.

- 2Three 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.View Solution

- 8A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media $W, X, Y$ and $Z$ between the sound producing body and the man. The medium $X$ brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium $Z$ takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium $W$ in bringing sound to man is less than that of $X$ but more than that of $Z.$ The medium $Y,$ however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one:View Solution
