When you put a bell inside a Moulinex vacuum box for vegetables and shake, can you hear it?

Question

If you put a bell and a voice recorder inside such a box and remove the air, and shake well, will the voice recorder tape something, some sound?

But a person outside the box, in the kitchen,will hear anything?

Unfortunately I don't have one at home to make the experiment.

Answer 1

There are two things to establish
1) Sound is a mechanical wave
2)Sound is a longitudinal wave

For propagation of the wave to occur, it needs a medium to travel through. A vacuum, does not consist of any particles, which can propagate the energy of the sound wave you have generated using a bell. It is as if the bell is not ringing. Provided, the bell is ringing in a vacuum, neither you or any one inside the vacuum will hear it.

Shaking has no effect.
