प्रश्न
Describe briefly an experiment to prove that vibrating bodies produce sound.
उत्तर
Experiment: Take a tuning fork. It is a U-shaped fork made of steel provided with a handle.
Strike the tuning fork with a rubber hammer and hold it close to ear. A sound is heard. Now take a freely suspended pith ball and touch one end of the tuning fork (which is already hit with a rubber hammer) to it. It is observed that pith ball repeatedly flies outward. This experiment too proves that sound is produced by a vibrating body.
