b) Vibrating membrane
c) Vibrating air column
d) None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

A shehnai produces sound from its vibrating membrane

Answer 2

A shehnai produces sound from VIBRATING AIR COLUMN.

Explanation:

• Production of musical sounds in wind instruments is by the vibration of air columns inside them.

• A column of air confined in a wood tube or metal tube vibrates and produces musical sound.

• Air has to be pumped within the instrument for it to produce sound.

• Their is vibration of air corresponding  within the pipes during this air pumping. The tubing in a instrument confines the motion of the air inside it.

• Shehnai being a wind instrument works on the principle of vibration of air column.
