Question

Why does bursting of balloon produce sound?

Open in App
Solution

The air in a balloon is at a higher pressure than its surroundings because the elastic tension of the balloon skin is pulling inwards. The high-pressure air that was inside the balloon is now free to expand and this creates a pressure wave that our ears hear as a bang.
