Question

Conduct Activity 10.1 once again with a thick rubber band and then with a thin rubber band. Does the thin rubber band vibrate faster than the thick rubber band? If yes, how do the frequency and time period of the sound produced by the thin rubber band differ from that of the thick rubber band?

Answer 1

Yes. The thin rubber band vibrates faster, so it produces a sound of higher frequency. Since $$T=\frac{1}{f}$$, its time period is shorter than that of the thick rubber band.
