🎶 How is sound produced?
-
Sound is produced when a body (for example, a tuning fork, speaker, or our vocal cords) is set into vibration.
-
These vibrations are transferred to the surrounding air particles as they move back and forth.
-
This results in a continuous sequence of compressions and rarefactions of the air, which propagates in waves.
-
Further Examples:
-
- When a drum is hit, the drum skin is set into vibration.
- When speaking or singing, our vocal cords vibrate.
- A motor generates sound vibrations through mechanical movement of its parts.
