A. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE: Indicate whether each statement is true or false. If false, change theunderlined word or phrase to make the statement true.1. The intensity of threshold of hearing is 1W/m2.2 Loudness is a property of tone that distinguishes it from another tone of the same pitch and intensityproduced by a different instrument.3. Sound is perceived louder when its frequency is increased.4. High frequency sound gives long wavelength.5. A low pitched sound is a low frequency sound.B. PROBLEM SOLVING: Read and comprehend the following problems below. Using the appropriateequation/s, solve for what is being asked. Show your entire solution on the space provided.1. The siren of a stationary ambulance emits sound waves of frequency 550 Hz. You are riding amotorcycle traveling directly away from the ambulance. How fast must you be traveling if youdetect a frequency of 480 Hz?2. You are holding a vibrating tuning fork with frequency 800 Hz as you run toward a stationarywall. If your speech is 5.0 m/s, what frequency of sound do you hear as reflected from the wall?

We need to state True and False for each statement. Also, it is required to make appropriate…
