Question

A trumpet needs to be blown to make sound. What vibrates to make this sound?

  1. Membrane
  2. String
  3. Trumper
  4. Air column

hintHint:

The trumpet is made to produce sound by blowing.

The correct answer is: Air column


    A trumpet needs to be blown to make sound. Air column vibrates to make this sound.
    • In the wind instruments, such as the flute and trumpet, vibrating air makes the sound.
    • The air particles move back and forth creating sound waves. i.e. the vibration made by blowing travels as an oscillation in the trumpet.
    • As the oscillation travels in the air column of the trumpet, it produces sound.
