Can you think of an explanation? Is it possible that the decreasing amount of air in the tumbler had something to do with decreasing loudness of the ring?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The sound needs medium (gås, liquid or solid) to travel. In the first case, the sound became fainter because the air (medium) is sucked up.
In the second case, when sucking of air was stopped, sound became louder again, as the air remained intact this time.
Yes, the decrease in air (medium) volume was the reason for decreasing loudness of the sound.
