What will happen to the sound that a rubber band makes when you change the amount of force that is used to pluck the rubber band?
The thickness of the rubber band changed the tone of the sound you heard when you plucked it. The thinner strings on a guitar make a higher-pitch sound because they can vibrate more quickly than the thicker ones.
What factors affect sound?
Factors Affecting The Speed of Sound
- The Density of Medium: Sound requires a medium to travel. The density of the medium is among the factors which affect the speed of sound.
- The Temperature of The Medium: Higher the temperature, the higher is the speed of sound in the medium.
What factors affect the pitch and loudness of the sound produced by the rubber bands stretch one of the rubber bands and while doing so pluck it again?
Answer: The factor that can affect the loudness of the sound produce by the rubber bands is the force the you apply on it the lesser the force the lesser the sound may produce the greater the force the greater/louder the sound may produce.
What change happened in the material of rubber band?
When stretched, it changes its shape and when the applied force is removed, it regains its original shape. That is why a rubber band changes its shape even though it is a solid. Also, if excessive force is applied then the rubber band would break.
What happened to rubber bands?
It changes shape when extended and returns to its original shape when the applied force is withdrawn. That is why, after being a solid, a rubber band changes shape. Furthermore, if too much stress is applied, the rubber band will snap.
What makes the sound when you pluck a rubber band?
Explain that the fast back-and-forth motion of the rubber band is called a vibration. When you pluck the rubber band, you make it vibrate. The rubber band in turn pushes on the nearby air, making it vibrate. Even though you can’t see the air vibrating, your ear can hear it. The vibration causes the sound.
Why does a rubber band guitar make a higher pitch?
The thickness of the rubber band changed the tone of the sound you herd when you plucked it. The thinner strings on a guitar make a higher-pitch sound because they can vibrate more quickly than the thicker ones.
Can you feel the vibrations of a rubber band?
For example, when you pluck a rubber band, you can see it move back and forth (or if you turn up the bass on a stereo with a large subwoofer, you may be able to see the speaker move). However, for the majority of sounds we hear every day, these vibrations are too small to see.
What happens to the length of a rubber band?
The length of the rubber band that is able to vibrate becomes shorter. The shorter bands will vibrate faster, producing a higher pitch. By moving the ruler “bridge” off the center point, one side of the rubber band becomes short and the other long.
