Chapter 16, Problem 3Q
Children sometimes play with a homemade “telephone” by attaching a string to the bottoms of two paper cups. When the string is stretched and a child speaks into one cup, the sound can be heard at the other cup (Fig. 16–28). Explain clearly how the sound wave travels from one cup to the other.
