Bells are made of metal and not of wood because: This question has multiple correct options
- A. Metals are elastic than wood
- B. The density of the metal is greater than that of wood
- C. The sound is not conducted by metals but is radiated
- D. Wood dampens vibrations faster
Step-by-step solution
Metals are more elastic than wood, meaning they can sustain vibrations for longer periods, producing a clear ringing sound. Wood, on the other hand, has higher internal damping, which causes vibrations to die out quickly, making it unsuitable for bells.
