Question

An alarm bell is kept inside a vessel as shown in the following figure. A person standing close to it can distinctly hear the sound of alarm. Now, if the air inside the vessel is removed completely, how will the loudness of alarm get affected for the same person?

Answer 1

Initially, the person is able to hear the sound coming from air and water distinctly. But after sometime, when the air is completely removed from the bottle, the sound will pass through the water and not reached to man.

So, the man will not hear the sound that was coming through the air initially.
