The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "When we say that a guitar produces sounds of frequency 25 Hz, it means that the guitar strings produce _______," we need to understand what frequency means in the context of sound production. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Frequency**: - Frequency is defined as the number of vibrations or oscillations that occur in one second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz). 2. **Given Frequency**: - The problem states that the frequency is 25 Hz. This means that the guitar strings are vibrating 25 times in one second. 3. **Interpreting the Options**: - We need to evaluate the options provided in the question: - A) 25 vibrations in 1 second - B) 1 oscillation in 25 seconds - C) Sounds of amplitude of 25 meters - D) Sounds with the help of a string of length 25 cm 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: 25 vibrations in 1 second - This matches our understanding of frequency (25 Hz). - **Option B**: 1 oscillation in 25 seconds - This describes the time period, not frequency, and is incorrect. - **Option C**: Sounds of amplitude of 25 meters - Amplitude is unrelated to frequency and is incorrect. - **Option D**: Sounds with the help of a string of length 25 cm - The length of the string does not determine the frequency directly and is incorrect. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **A) 25 vibrations in 1 second**. This is the definition of frequency in this context. ### Final Answer: When we say that a guitar produces sounds of frequency 25 Hz, it means that the guitar strings produce **25 vibrations in 1 second**.
