Question

Activity 2 Strike a metal utensil with a metal spoon. Note the kind of sound emitted. Now, strike a piece of wood charcoal with the same spoon. Do you find difference in the kind of sound produced? Most metals produce ringing sound when struck i.e. they are sonorous. Non- metals are non sonorous.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When we strike metal utensil with a spoon it will make a lot of sound as metals are sonorous. When we strike wood charcoal (carbon so non-metal) with a spoon it will make much less/ no of sound as non-metals are non-sonorous.
