| May 11 at 9:40 | comment | added | Agnius Vasiliauskas | If, say, the ruler (reed) is 20mm thick and 80mm long,[...] there would be no vibration Wrong. As long as ruler can be modeled as sort of spring with spring constant $k$- it can be imagined as damped harmonic oscillator, and so - it will have frequency and vibrations. Question only if these ruler vibrations produce noticeable sound in the medium that some creatures can hear it (for example bats hear ultrasound, elephants- infrasound). Vibrations of air molecules $\not \equiv$ vibration of ruler. You need to define what exact vibrations you talk about , cause there are many. | |
