Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The metal vibrates when a bell is struck. As sound waves, the vibrations travel through the air. When these waves reach our ears, they vibrate our eardrums, causing the bell to ring. Therefore, sound must always travel through a medium like air, water, or metal.
The vibration generated by the body travels in the form of waves, and vibration propagation in the air is referred to as travelling longitudinal waves. Because of the pressure difference in the air, sound waves travel in two directions: high and low pressure. The high-pressure region where wave particles are close to each other is known as compression, and the low-pressure area where wave particles are far apart is known as rarefaction. The sound wave travels through the air due to compression and rarefaction.
