प्रश्न
Explain how sound is produced by your school bell.
उत्तर
When the school bell vibrates, it forces the adjacent particles in the air to vibrate. This disturbance gives rise to a wave, and when the bell moves forward, it pushes the air in front of it. This creates a region of high pressure known as compression. When the bell moves backwards, it creates a region of low pressure known as rarefaction. As the bell continues to move forward and backward, it produces a series of compressions and reactions. This makes the sound of a bell propagate through the air.

A sound producing body is at considerable distance from a man. There can be four different media W, X, Y and Z between the sound producing body and the man. The medium X brings the sound to man most quickly whereas medium Z takes the maximum time. The time taken by medium W in bringing sound to man is less than that of X but more than that of Z. The medium Y, however, fails to bring the sound from the sound producing body to the man. Which medium could be the one :
(a) having on fixed shape and no fixed volume?
(b) having a fixed volume but no fixed shape?
(c) having the same composition as that on the moon?
