Solution

The correct option is C wood dampens vibrations while metals are elastic.
Metal are elastic, hence they allow the molecules to oscillate and waves to propagate, whereas in wood being inelastic waves are damped. Hence bells are made of wood.

Q. Because of which property, bells are made of metals and not wood?

Why are girls made up of metals and not from?

(Could you please check my answer)

Ans: when a bell is struck we get a ringing sound it is a property of metal known as sonorous. nonmetals are non sonorous. they do not produce such ringing sound wood is a non metal and it is also not sonorous. Thus Bells are made up of metal

Q. Assertion :Bells are made of metals. Reason: Metals are sonorous. When bells are hit, they vibrate and produce sound.

Q. Bells are made up of non-metals that produce sound when struck.

Q. Compare the following properties of metals and non-metals: ductility, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity.
