Explain how sound is produced by your school bell.
Answers
Air is the commonest material through which sound propagates. When school bell is rung, it pushes the molecules of the air in front of it. This in turn compresses the air, thus creating a region of high pressure and high density called compression. This compression in the air travels forward. When the bell moves back, it creates a region of low pressure in the air, commonly called rarefaction. This region has low pressure, low density, and more volume. As the bell continues to vibrate, the regions Of compression in the air alternate with the regions of rarefaction. These regions alternate at the same place. The energy of vibrating bell travels outward. This energy which reaches the ears, makes the eardrums to vibrate and thus we hear sound.

– The school bell is a big size circular metallic disk suspended from a rigid support. When someone strikes at the middle of the bell with the help of a hammer or a metallic rod, solid particles of a school bag starts oscillating to and fro as an result, sound is produced.
Answer in other short way -
– When the poen strikes, the school bell with the hammer, the particles of bell metal starts vibrating and those vibration produces sound.
