• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

When the membrane of a drum is beaten, the sound is produced not only due to vibrations of the membrane but also due to vibrations of the whole body of the drum which has air inside it. Due to this, we can hear a systematic vibration in terms of music.
The structure of the body of the drum also determines the characteristic sound it produces. Because the shape of the air column of the drum determines which frequency is prominent in the sound made by the drum.
