Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

Chapter 10, Problem 38R
To determine

What part of a musical instrument amplifies sound waves among the options such as (A) resonator (B) string (C) mallet (D) reed.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 38R

The correct option is (A).

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

When a sound wave travels through a medium the molecules in the medium vibrates and gets amplified in the body of the system.

In musical instruments resonator helps in amplifying the sound. A resonator is a natural amplifier. It is usually a hollow body in instruments which vibrates with air through which the sound waves travels.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct answer is resonator.
