- The familiar sound of a school bell ringing is created by vibrations caused by a clapper inside the bell. The clapper swings back and forth, hitting the inside of the bell and creating vibrations. The shape of the bell helps amplify these vibrations, making them louder and clearer.

Mar 7, 2015 · When a bell vibrates in air, it pushes air molecules out of the way which will make the vibrations "decay". If you strike a bell in vacuum, this loss mechanism will not be there so the bell will "ring" for longer (but nobody can hear it).
When air is completely removed from a bell jar containing a ringing bell, sound from the bell can be heard. Q. Assertion :A bell ringing in an evacuated jar cannot be heard. Reason: Sound waves needs a medium to travel.
In sound: Impedance mismatch. …the case of the well-known bell-in-vacuum experiment, the impedance mismatches between the bell and the air and between the air and the jar result in very little transmission of sound when the air is at low pressure. Read More.
Circuitry built by R. Keolian rings the bell in bursts and simultaneously flashes a light so that the students can see that the bell is still ringing after the jar is evacuated and they can no longer hear it (and also note that light is transmitted by a vacuum, even though sound is not!).
It is shown that the clapper does not hit the bell with a single impact but a long series of bounces, and this has important consequences for the decay profile of the bell vibration. Information relevant to bell-ringers and bell-hangers is collected in a series of design charts derived from the simulation model.
You will notice that as air is removed, the ringing sound gets quieter and quieter, until you cannot hear it at all. You can still see the bell hammer hitting the gong, so you know the bell is ...
Aug 4, 2015 · Sound energy moves by vibrating molecules. When a bell flexes away, it pulls in on the surrounding particles, creating a drop in pressure to pull more particles. Each molecule passes the vibration to the next between the bell and the hearer’s ear.
