Human ears can only hear (i.e., detect vibrations) in a range of about 20-20,000 vibrations per second. A pendulum will usually vibrate at much less than 20 vibrations per second. But please note that a vibrating object (such as a plucked string) may also produce secondary vibrations, other than the main frequency.On the other hand, a vibration must also be strong enough, in order to be heard.

Why does a vibrating pendulum not produce any sound?

A vibrating simple pendulum does not produce any sound because it oscillates at very low frequencies.


Why does vibrating simple pendulum not produce any sound?

The lowest frequencies we can hear are about 20 Hz - 20 vibrations per second. If (for example) the pendulum moves back and forth once per second, it will produce sound at that frequency, which we are unable to hear. Also, the sound will be of a fairly low intensity.


Why a viberating pendulum does not produce sound?

A vibrating pendulum does not produce sound because the air surrounding it is not being disturbed enough to create sound waves. Sound is produced when an object vibrates and creates pressure waves in the air, but a pendulum swinging back and forth does not generate enough force to create audible sound waves.

What is produced by a vibrating object in a material medium?

A vibrating object in a material medium produces sound waves. These waves are vibrations of particles in the medium that create a pattern of alternating high and low pressure regions, which our ears perceive as sound.
