When Sanika gently touches the paper cone of a speaker while music is playing, she feels a tingling sensation in her fingers. When the music stops, the sensation stops. What does this observation prove?
  1. Sound causes electrical charges to move in the speaker
  2. Sound is produced only when an object is in a state of vibration
  3. Sound travels through human skin as heat energy
  4. Air particles stop moving when music plays

Solution

Sound is produced by vibrating objects. When the music stops, the speaker cone stops vibrating, so the tingling sensation ceases.
