(N/A) Sound is produced by the vibration of the school bell. When the bell is struck,it begins to vibrate rapidly. These vibrations cause the surrounding air particles to move back and forth,creating regions of high pressure called compressions and regions of low pressure called rarefactions. This series of compressions and rarefactions travels through the air as a sound wave,which eventually reaches our ears.
