Question
Cracker on ignition produces sound. Why?
Solution
When a cracker is ignited, a sudden reaction (very rapid) takes place with the evolution of heat, light and sound and a large amount of gas is liberated. Such a reaction is called explosion. The gases produced are heated by the heat evolved in the reaction.
The hot gases expand rapidly and cause an explosion (producing a loud sound).
