The sound of a sitar, a bell, water that drops from a tap, a saucer that breaks on falling down-what is it that vibrates when these sounds are produced ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

All the sounds are produced due to vibrations. The strings of sitar vibrate. The water dropping on the floor creates vibrations and hence makes dropping sound. The saucer breaks upon falling down and each piece vibrates, creating sound.

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?
