Question

EXPLAIN THESE LINES The voice box consists of two vocal chords. These chords are arranged in such a manner that there is a small gap between them. This small gap allows air to pass through. When we speak, air is forced into this small gap by the lungs. This prompts our vocal chords to vibrate and hence, produce sounds.

Hi Prakhar!

The sound is produced by the vibration of the vocal cords. When we speak, air passes through the small gap between the vocal cords and causes it to vibrate. This produces sound.

Cheers!!
