An electric bell is placed inside a transparent glass jar. The bell can be turned on and off using a switch on the outside of th
e jar. A vacuum is created inside the jar by sucking out the air. Then the bell is rung using the switch. What will we see and hear? A) We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.

A) We'll see the bell move, but we won't hear it ring
