Question 34 Marks
Raghav kept a mini sound player in each of two similar containers.
He then tightly covered both the containers with stretched plastic sheets.
He placed some tiny rubber beads on the surface of the sheets.
The picture shows what Raghav noticed when he turned on the sound player.

Image
$3.$ Which of these questions can be answered using the result of Raghav’s activity$?$
$A.$ Does sound travel as waves$?$
$B.$ Does sound produce vibration$?$
$C.$ Does sound travel through vacuum$?$
$D.$ Does sound travel faster in solids than in gases$?$
$4.$ Would the result of Raghav’s activity change if fewer beads had been used$?$ Explain your answer.
Answer
$3. B.$ Does sound produce vibration$?$
$4.$ Mentions that the result would remain the same as the vibration would still make the beads jump.
