Wire hanger and string sound experiment

submitted by astrite1 on 01/31/18 1

Wire hanger sound experiment Sound waves are created by the vibration of an object , in this case with a hanger. When vibrations hit your ear drum, your brain interprets the vibrations as sound. The sound waves can travel through air, liquids and solids. When we listen to the hanger hit the wall with the string to our ears, the sound waves are traveling through the solid string and hanger. Since sound waves travel more quickly through solids, we hear the sound more clearly. When we bang the hanger without putting the string to our ears, the sound waves are traveling through air to get to our ears making the sound more quiet. Take it a little further with creativity and critical thinking 1) Try different lengths of the string. Does it affect the sound you hear? 2) Try attaching other objects to the string, like a plastic hanger. Did that affect the sound?
