Acoustic Phenomena Class 12

Acoustic Phenomena falls under waves and optics portion of class 12 physics. Acoustic Phenomena Class 12 Physics Notes is designed according to the updated syllabus of 2080 and it covers all the important portion of the chapter. Students can easily prepare their notes, study for test or exams by taking the help of class 12 acoustic phenomena Notes.

  Chapter – 9  
Acoustic Phenomena 

When a sound wave propagate in air by means of compression (region of maximum pressure) and rarefaction (region of minimum pressure), it can be described either in terms of the longitudinal displacement suffered by the particles of the medium (called displacement wave which we have discussed in chapter 6) or in terms of the excess pressure generated due to compression and rarefaction (called pressure wave).

  Chapter Overview  
In this chapter we are going to learn the following concepts, ideas or topics;

  1. Sound Waves
  2. Energy, Power and Intensity of Sound
  3. Intensity Level or Sound Level
  4. Infrasound, Audible sound and Ultrasound

Now let’s move on to the notes of acoustic phenomena. The PDF given below contains all the notes which includes all the topics mentioned in the chapter overview. We request students to use the notes of acoustic phenomena wisely for the purpose of making notes and preparing for the board examination. 

You have to scroll down the PDF to view all the notes of acoustic phenomena. This PDF contains 19 slides in total which contains all the required notes of acoustic phenomena. It doesn’t contains the numerical problems so if you are searching for the numericals then you’ll find them in the next PDF given below. 

Acoustic Phenomena Class 12 Physics Numerical Questions 

Those students who want to practice the numericals from acoustic phenomena chapter can practice the questions given in the PDF below. We have solved the selected numericals which will provide you the method of solving the numericals. 

This PDF contains all the important numericals from acoustic phenomena chapter. In addition to the numericals it also contains all the required formulas used for solving the numerical problems of this chapter. 

If you are willing to practise more numerical problems for your examination then you can practice the questions listed below. 

  • When a jet plane is flying at an elevation of 1000m the sound level on the ground is 4.0 dbWhat would be the intensity level on the ground when its elevation is as low as 50 m? [Ans: 30dB]
  • A car, sounding a horn and producing a note of 500 Hz, approaches and then passes a stationary observer at a steady speed of 20 ms-¹. Calculate the change in frequency heard by the observer. Velocity of sound is 340ms-1. [Ans: 59 Hz]
  • A stationary motion detector sends sound waves of 150 KHz towards truck approaching at a speed of 120 km/hr. What is the frequency of wave reflected back to detector? (Velocity of sound in air 340 m/s). [Ans: 167.4 KHZ]
  • A car travelling with a speed of 60 Kmhr¹ sounds a horn of frequency 500Hz. The sound is heard in another car travelling behind the first car in the same direction with a speed of 80 Kmhr. What frequencies will the driver of the second car hear before and after overtaking the first car if the velocity of sound is 340ms? [Ans: 507.8 Hz, 491.4 Hz]
  • A car is approaching towards a cliff at a speed of 20m/s. The driver sounds a whistle of frequency 800 Hz. What will be the frequency of the echo as heard by the car driver? Velocity of sound in air 350 m/s. [Ans: 896.97 Hz]

These questions are provided for practising purposes. So we haven’t provided the solutions of the numerical problems. However, if you are facing problems while solving these numericals then we request you to copy the questions and paste it in Google to get the solutions of that numericals. If that doesn’t work then you can contact us through our telegram channel to get the solutions.
