Question
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
Open in App
Solution
When an object vibrates in a medium, it excites the neighboring particles too.
These excited neighboring particles continue the same with their neighboring particles.
The energy is transferred from one particle to the next in the form of vibrations.
A particle comes to rest after transferring its vibration and the next one starts vibrating.
This chain continues throughout the medium till the sound reaches our ears.
