When you twang a ruler close to the table there is less vibration so the sound is higher, when you twang it farther away there is more vibration so the sound is lower.
Do double check just test for yourself.

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.
According to the table in which medium does sound travel at the fastest speed?
According to the table the medium that sound travels at fastest speed is the electromagnetic waves.

It would break. Sorry if its the oppiste I dont know what kind of ruler you have.
Sound waves travel fastest through solids?
In a nutshell. As most people could/would/should know is that matter is denser in a solid. AKA gas is less dense than solid. Sound waves travel through these gasses and solids. Sound travels like waves on water. With this effect, the matter in something such as a table is closer and denser than air. It travels faster as a result and you hear it better. Try it sometime by putting your head on a table then tapping it and taking your head off and tapping. The sound is significantly lower. This is ALSO why you cannot hear noise in space, go gas or solid for sound to go through = no sound. Sound relies on the compression and rarefaction of solids and gasses to get around. Again. Sound is like water waves. Answer by Mathew Cutshall

How are elements that form positive ions grouped in the periodic table relative to the elements that form negatives ions?
The lower the the Atomic Number, the higher the Ionic Energy.
How are elements that form positive ions grouped in the periodic table relative to elements that form negative ions?
The lower the the Atomic Number, the higher the Ionic Energy.
