Paragraph based question: Read the following paragraph and answer the question based on it. Many waste materials are generated through the various daily human activities. This is called solid waste. If these waste materials are properly disposed of, they can be valuable source of energy. Currently, solid waste is a serious world wide problem as it causes both water and soil pollution. Solid waste is also serious problem from the point of view of economic growth, environment degradation and health. It has posed a serious threat to nature and human habitat because of the air, water and soil pollution it causes. Solid waste generated in the main metro cities of the state is approximately as follows-Mumbai: 500 tons, Pune: 1700 tons, Nagpur : 900 tons. Who creates solid wastes and how is it created?

Assertion: For sound waves, air is rarer medium than water. Reason: For sound waves, the density of water is greater than air.

Questions based on paragraph : Sound is propagated in a material medium in the form of compression and rarefactions. One compression and one rarefaction together form one cycle of the sound wave. The number of cycles produced per second is called as frequency. A tuning fork is a two-pronged device which vibrates to produce sound when struck. The frequency of a tuning fork is decided by the dimensions of the prong and the material used for making the fork. When these sound waves reach ears of listener, his ear-drum vibrates. Accordingly specific signals are conveyed to the brain and the listener gets a sense of hearing sound. : When vibrations are produced, what physical properties of air are changed?
