Class 8 Science Chapter 10 Important Questions for Practice

List sources of noise pollution in your surroundings.

Major causes of noise pollution are sounds of vehicles, explosions including bursting of crackers, machines, loudspeakers etc. Sources in the home may lead to noise pollution. Television and transistor radio at high volumes, some kitchen appliances, desert coolers, air conditioners, all contribute to noise pollution.

Explain in what way noise pollution is harmful to humans.

Lack of sleep, hypertension (high blood pressure), anxiety and many more health disorders may be caused by noise pollution.
A person who is exposed to a loud sound continuously may get temporary or even permanent impairment of hearing.

What is the difference between noise and music? Can music become noise sometimes?

Music is a sound which produces a pleasing sensation while noise is an unwanted and unpleasant sound. Music is produced by nature, musical instruments etc. Noise is produced by horns of vehicles, by machines etc.
Music can become noise when we play it at very high volume or too many music are being played at the same time with unpleasant loudness.

Lightning and thunder take place in the sky at the same time and at the same distance from us. Lightning is seen earlier and thunder is heard later. Can you explain?

Speed of sound is 330 m/s and speed of light is 300,000,000 m/s. Light travels much faster than sound that is why lightning is seen earlier and thunder is heard.
