Why are bells made up of metals instead of wood in briefly?

Answer 1

because it has the resonating sound that we want for bells

if we used plastic it would give of something more of a dinggg. instead of a dinggggggggggggggggg that we want out of a bell (i hope this makes sense and answers your question)

Answer 2

School bells need to survive the impact of the "donger" hitting the inner surface. Pure metals would be too soft as there would be no impurities to discourage movement of dislocations (in other words, the regular layers of atoms would slip past each other) and the bell would deform. It needs to be metallic to provide resonance which makes the ringing sound. A metal alloy is harder as the guest atoms are a different size to the host atoms so make the layers less regular.

Answer 3

Temple bells are made of metals because all metals are sound producer (SONOROUS) in nature.

Answer 4

because metals make a sound and wood don't.

Answer 5

A wooden bell would just 'clunk' like hitting a log with a stick. A metal bell sends out vibrations as waves of sound that we can hear.
