Question

A particle of the medium near to the vibrating object _____.

  1. Vibrates alone
  2. Vibrates and sets the next particle to vibration
  3. It comes to rest
  4. First b then c

hintHint:

When an object vibrates, it causes movement in neighboring particles.

The correct answer is: First b then c


    • A particle of the medium in contact with the vibrating object is first displaced from its equilibrium position.
    • It then exerts a force on the adjacent particle.
    • And comes to rest.
    • As a result of which the adjacent particle gets displaced from its position of rest and vibrates.
