The Mystery of Vacuum

Acoustics

★Exhibit Content: Propagation of Sound ★Interaction: Electromechanical Interaction ★Operation: 1. After starting the device, press the "Vacuum" and "Release" buttons in sequence; 2. Observe the changes in the balloon, fan, and bell during the vacuuming and releasing processes. ★Exhibit Description: The platform is equipped with three sets of interactive devices. Inside sealed transparent containers, a bell, a fan, and a balloon are placed respectively, with a vacuum gauge on top. When the visitor presses the vacuum button, the vacuum pump operates, and they will observe that in the vacuum, the bell makes no sound, the fan produces no wind, and the balloon expands. ★Scientific Principle: Sound propagation requires a medium. In a vacuum environment, sound cannot propagate through air vibration, so the vibration of the bell cannot be transmitted to the outside, and the visitor cannot hear the ringing. The working principle of a fan is that the rotating blades push air to flow, thereby generating wind. However, in a vacuum state, even if the fan blades rotate, they cannot push air to flow, so no wind is generated. In a vacuum state, the air pressure inside the container rapidly decreases, while the air pressure outside remains unchanged. Due to the pressure difference, the balloon expands under the external atmospheric pressure.
