How does a stretched string,on being set into vibration,produce an audible sound?
(N/A) When a stretched string is set into vibration,it pushes and pulls the surrounding air molecules,creating a series of compressions and rarefactions. These vibrations travel through the air as sound waves. When these waves reach our ears,they cause the eardrum to vibrate,which the brain interprets as an audible sound.
