|
Method
|
- Tie some tissue paper on each piece of thread and tie them across the width of the shoe box.
- Make Sure to switch off the fans in the room before starting the experiment.
- Play loud music and hold the box facing the speaker.
- Observe what happens to the tissue paper on the threads.
- Next vary the volume and observe what happens to the tissue on the threads.
- Then change the type of music and also note what happens.
|
What is Learnt
|
The movement of the tissue paper varies with vibrations and kind of music, being more with higher vibrations and higher volume. Hence sound has vibrations. This is a good example of conversion of sound energy to motion or mechanical energy.
|
Conclusion
|
The tissue paper attached to the thread moves, moving more with high vibration music and with increase of volume.
