Question

All musical instruments make use of oscillations, can you identify, where?

Answer 1

Yes. Musical instruments produce sound by oscillations or vibrations of some part of the instrument.

1. Guitar, violin, sitar: The stretched strings oscillate.
2. Tabla and drum: The stretched membrane oscillates.
3. Flute and organ pipe: The air column inside the instrument oscillates.
4. Tuning fork: The prongs oscillate.
5. Bell: The metal body of the bell oscillates.

These oscillations produce sound waves that we hear as music.
