Speaker

We use speakers to listen to music. Speakers are used in mobile phones and in televisions too.

Have you ever observed or touched a speaker while it is producing sound?

Does its diaphragm vibrate? 

Let us watch a video of a speaker producing sound.

Sometimes speakers can create a nuisance, especially during festivals or marriages when someone plays loud music.

But how does sound go forth from a speaker?
