Properties of Sound

Question 3 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Dewayne, a pianist, wants to compare sound quality. Which scenario describes how he could do this?

Answer
A
He plays two different notes on two different pianos at a different volume.
B
He plays two different notes on the same piano at the same volume.
C
He plays the same note on the same piano at a different volume.
D
He plays the same note on two different pianos at the same volume.

Explanation

To compare sound quality, Dewayne should change only the piano while keeping the note and volume the same. Playing the same note on two different pianos at the same volume lets him hear differences caused by the instruments rather than by pitch or loudness. That is choice D.
