16) A ringing bell makes noise inside a glass jar. Then the air is removed from the glass jar using a vacuum pump. When all of the air leaves the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.Which of the following best explains why the stud
A
The sound in the empty jar is reflected off the inside of the glass sides.
B
Removing the air from the jar allows the bell to ring only very softly.
C
The difference in pressure inside and outside the glass jar is too great.
