The rubber band vibrates, which disturbs the air, producing compression waves. "Compression waves in air" are normally known as sound.

Where does sound come from on a mbira?

Sound on a mbira comes from its metal keys or tines being plucked with the thumbs or fingers. The keys are attached to a wooden soundboard that amplifies the vibrations produced when they are plucked, creating the distinct sound of the mbira.


Why does the elastic band make a sound when plucked?

When an elastic band is plucked, it vibrates rapidly back and forth, producing sound waves in the air. These sound waves reach our ears and are interpreted by the brain as sound. The pitch of the sound depends on the frequency of the vibrations produced by the elastic band.


How does the elastic band move and sound when plucked?

When an elastic band is plucked, it vibrates back and forth rapidly. The movement of the band creates sound waves that travel through the air, producing a twanging or buzzing sound. The pitch of the sound is determined by the frequency of the vibrations.


Which rubberband will hold the most weight a regular rubberband or a color rubberband?

The color of the rubberband does not affect its strength. The weight each rubberband can hold depends on its material and thickness. Typically, a thicker rubberband will be able to hold more weight than a thinner one.


What did you observe when you plucked each rubber band and sound is produced?

When I plucked each rubber band, I observed the band vibrating back and forth rapidly, creating a sound. The pitch of the sound varied depending on the tension and thickness of the rubber band. The sound stopped when the energy from my plucking was dissipated.

How does the lenght of a string affect the sound it makes when plucked?

A longer string will have a greater distance between peaks of the waves of the vibration, so a sound will be lower on the sound wave scale.
