Best Answer

Because Elizabeth was the elder daughter of George VI and Elizabeth (the former Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon). The first-born child of the reigning monarch is the heir apparent. Had Elizabeth been male rather than female, then the UK would have a king. It is usual for the eldest son to inherit the throne (even if there is an older daughter), but when there is no son then the eldest or only daughter inherits.

What materials absorb sound the best and which do not?

Usually, stuff that is soft will absorb sound.answ2. Sound is a vibration of air molecules, and anything that may be made to absorb energy from the molecules will absorb sound. If the material has soft fibres, and can allow the sound to penetrate easily, (is porous) then the collision of sound molecules with the fibres, will transfer the energy from the molecules to the inelastic fibres, where it will be dissipated as heat.
