Why is the bell jar controversial?
Why is the bell jar controversial? Scientifically bell jars are used commonly to demonstrate air pressure experiments and their effects. In school bell jars are used to remove air, thus creating vacuum in order to show that sound cannot travel 'within the bell jar while a ticking clock has been placed inside it. The controversy is about bell jars cannot with stand pressures above atmospheric, only below.
How can you show that sound is a form of mechanical energy?
Sound can only travel through a medium (matter). Different materials allow sound to travel faster or slower. However, as an experiment put an electron bell in a bell jar. You hear it ring. Evacuate the bell jar of as much gas a possible ( a true vacuum is almost impossible to achieve in a Bell Jar), allow the bell to ring again. It will be much quieter, although the bell hammer will be vibrating at the same speed. By extrapolation, when all the gas is evacuated(vacuum) there will be no sound. So sound needs a medium to travel through.
Experiment to demonstrate that sound need a material medium to propagate?
Take an electric bell and hang this bell inside an empty bell-jar fitted with a vacuum pump (as shown in the following figure). Initially, one can hear the sound of the ringing bell. Now, pump out some air from the bell-jar using the vacuum pump. It will be observed that the sound of the ringing bell decreases. If one keeps on pumping the air out of the bell-jar, then at one point, the glass-jar will be devoid of any air. At this moment, no sound can be heard from the ringing bell although one can see that the prong of the bell is still vibrating. When there is no air present inside, we can say that a vacuum is produced. Sound cannot travel through vacuum. This shows that sound needs a material medium for its propagation.
What are the jobs in the bell jar experiment for the foam block and vacuum pump?
The vacuum pump stops the sound waves from coming out. Because there are no particles to pass on the sound in a vacuum, we see the clock vibrating, but do not hear anything at all.
When the air in a bell jar containing a ringing bell is removed the sound decreases. why?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
What is the foam block for in the Bell Jar experiment?
The foam block is used to support the bell jar and create a seal with the baseplate. This helps to create a vacuum inside the bell jar by preventing air from entering or escaping during the experiment.
Describe the bell in a bell jar with vacuum experiment?
A bell jar is a piece of laboratory equipment used for creating vacuums.[1] It can be similar in shape to a bell, and can be manufactured out of a variety of materials (ranging from glass to different types of metals). A bell jar is placed on a base which is vented to a hose fitting, which can be connected via a hose to a vacuum pump. By pumping the air out of the bell jar, a vacuum is formed.
What are the jobs of the vacuum and the foam block in the bell jar experiment?
Whats the job for a foam block
When was The Bell Jar created?
The Bell Jar was created in 1963.

Why freshly prepared 'KOH' solution is taken in a watch-glass and kept in the bell jar during the experiment to show that carbon-dioxide is essential for photosynthesis?
It is because 'KOH' solution helps to absorb all the carbon dioxide present in the bell jar.
Experiment to show that sound cannot travel through a vacuum?
-> Suspend an electric bell in an airtight bell jar attached to a vacuum pump. -> Turn on the electric bell. -> Pump out all the air in the bell jar using the vacuum pump. -> The sound of the bell should get fainter as air is pumped out. -> Finally no sound can be heard even though the hammer can be seen hitting the bell
What does the rubber sheet on bell jar do when pulled down?
When the rubber sheet on a bell jar is pulled down, it creates a vacuum seal between the bell jar and the surface it is placed on. This vacuum seal allows for the removal of air from within the bell jar when connected to a vacuum pump, creating a vacuum environment inside the jar.
In the story 'The Bell Jar' Why is the story 'The Bell Jar' and what is the significance of it?
It is called the bell jar because Esther says that she feels that she feels almost as if she has been stuck under a bell jar. Also, the story is comparing the effects of being under a bell jar, which would distort the view/perspective of one beneath it, to the effects of being depressed or living in a world one does not fit in with
What are the release dates for Bell Jar - 2013?
Bell Jar - 2013 was released on: USA: 21 April 2013
What is the function of bell jar?
A bell jar is a glass dome that can house delicate objects or serve as a vacuum if the air is sucked out.
What actors and actresses appeared in Bell Jar - 2013?
The cast of Bell Jar - 2013 includes: Dan Reulbach as Vincent
