Most of us hate the sound of the alarm clock and love to press the snooze button. The annoying sound that wakes you up is a classic example of physics in daily life. The sound which you can’t see but only hear travels in the waveform.
Mechanical energy conversion concepts are used in alarm clocks. Potential energy is stored in a coiled spring when the clock has been wound up. The potential energy in the spring is turned into kinetic energy when it unwinds, which drives the clock mechanism. As a result, sound waves of high frequency are produced which wakes you up. Amazing, isn’t it?
Well, there is no fun in learning if a bit of practical examples aren’t involved. At EuroSchool, we strive to make learning fun and easy to remember for our students learning in ICSE or CBSE schools in Pune.
