The bell jar experiment is a common experiment to show that sound cannot travel through a vacuum
A bell jar’s shape is similar to that of a bell. A bell jar is placed on a base and connected to a vacuum pump as shown in the picture below. The air in the jar is varied by pumping the air out of it.

By using Bell Jar experiment we can sound can't travel through vacuum and it requires a medium to propagate
Explanation:
- We can prove the travelling of sound, which requires a medium, by using Bell jar experiment
- Bell jar is a commonly used apparatus in science laboratories.
- The reason is bell jar can produce strong vacuums and also bell jars are transparent in nature.
- Bottom of the bell jar is connected to the vacuum pump to create vacuum inside the Bell jar.
- Place an electric bell inside the bell jar to produce sound inside the bell jar.
- Before create the vacuum inside the jar ring the electric bell.
- The electric bell rings and its hammer strikes the gong and sound is also audible due to the presence of the air inside the Bell jar.
- Now remove the air present inside the jar buy using vacuum pump to create vacuum inside.
- Again ring the bell, the sound will not be audible to our ears but we can notice that the hammer continuously hitting the gong.
- This is because that there is no air inside the jar to propagate the sound created inside the bell jar.
- This proves that the sound can't travel through vacuum and it needs a medium to propagate.
