Question

The vibrating body while playing a violin is

• A. mainly wire
• B. the box of the violin
• C. both wire and box
• D. only air

Answer 1

The correct option is C

both wire and box

Both wire and box:

1. The sound of a violin is the result of interactions between its many parts.
2. Drawing a bow across the strings developed the strings to vibrate.
3. This vibration is propagated through the bridge and sound post to the body of the violin, which allows the sound to effectively emits into the surrounding air.
4. So the vibrating body while playing the violin is both wire and box.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
