What does it mean to say that everything has a natural frequency of vibration?
To explain: The meaning of a fact that everything has a natural frequency of vibration.
Answer to Problem 12A
Different material has different elasticity and shape so different material has different natural frequency of vibration. Every material has its frequency of vibration known as natural frequency.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The sound is a type of vibration energy. When the particles of a material vibrate then the sound is produced.
Sound travels in all the three states of matter. When the particles of object are disturbed then due to vibration of object particles the sound is produced of different frequencies. The combination of different frequency produces the special sound. Every material has different frequency of vibration which produces a special sound known as natural frequency.
The sound depends on the elasticity of material and different material has different pitch of sound which depends on shape of material. And different material has different elasticity and shape so different material has different natural frequency of vibration.
Conclusion:
Thus different material has different elasticity and produce different frequency of vibration.
