Bell in a Vacuum

Photo of Demo

Description:

A bell in a vacuum will get less audible as the air is pumped out. Since sounds is a pressure wave, it must have a medium through which to travel. (there is no sound in space!) The low ringing heard at the end of the demo is due to physical coupling between the bell and the jar.
