Sound is produced by vibration. Define vibration.

Sound is produced by vibration. Define vibration.

  • A. Vibration is a rapid to and fro motion of the object.
  • B. Vibration is a circular motion of the object.
  • C. Vibration is a translational motion of the object.
  • D. None of the above

Step-by-step solution

Vibration is defined as a rapid back-and-forth motion around an equilibrium position. Option A accurately describes this to-and-fro motion, while option B describes circular motion, option C describes translational motion, none of which correctly define vibration.
