उत्तर
If the air is gradually pumped out of the glass vessel, no sound of the electric bell can be heard because vacuum is created in the vessel and there are no air molecules to carry sound vibrations. Hence, sound waves require material medium for its propagation.

Cite an experiment to show that sound needs a material medium for its propagation.
Can sound travel through a vacuum ? Describe an experiment to explain your answer.
Name one solid, on liquid and one gas through which sound can travel.
Give scientific reasons:
As the sound wave propagates from one place to the other in air, the air itself is not required to move from one place to the other.
Answer the following question :
How does the speed of sound differ in different media?
How does the speed of sound in air vary with temperature?
The time interval between a lightning flash and the first sound of thunder was found to be 5 s. If the speed of sound in air is 330 m s-1, find the distance of flash from the observer.
What is the approximate value of the speed of sound in air at N.T.P.?
The small to and fro motion is called vibration.
Find the odd one out.
