How are sound waves in the air converted into an electrical nerve impulse?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves, the bones in the inner ear pick that up, stimulate nearby nerve endings, and nerve impulses are created.
The best description to get an impulse sound is a loud noise. Something like fire works or gun shots.

∙ 6y agoSound flexes the ear drum,
bones in the middle ear transmit the vibration to your skull,
which produces pressure waves in your inner ear,
which is detected by "hairs" on sensory cells,
which are connected to the auditory nerve.
The other end of which is connected to the brain.

∙ 14y agonerves only carry electrical impulses. the sound wave vibrates the ear drum, which wiggles the three bones in the middle ear, which sets up fluid moving in the inner ear, which stimulates little hairs in the cells that make up the receptors of the auditory nerve. this sequence dampens the noise a bit, but excess vibration can lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears or even damage the hairs permanently. take care of your hearing

∙ 9y agoA sound wave is converted into nerve impulses due to the eardrums. The eardrums transmit any vibration in the air to the cochlea.

What is the energy transformation of megaphone?
Electrical energy gets converted to sound energy. When we speak into the speaker, our sound waves get converted into electrical signals. These signals get amplified and emitted as louder sound. Thus, electrical energy (electrical signals) gets converted into sound energy (amplified/louder sound).
What is the process in which sound energy is converted into electrical energy?
magic.
Are various energy forms interconvertible?
Yes, various forms of energy are interconvertible. Look at the following examples. Sound energy is converted into electrical energy in a microphone. Electrical energy is converted into sound energy in a loud speaker. Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy in a motor. Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in a generator. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when a stone is dropped. Electrical energy is converted into heat energy in a room heater. Chemical energy is converted into sound, light and heat energy while firing crackers
How electrical energy is converted into sound energy?
With the speakers' electromagnetic coil!
What is the name of the process in which sound energy is converted into electrical energy?
Name or device! Microphone is the name of device in which sound is changed into electrical signal
Sensory receptors of the ear?
The cochlea; sound wave are transferred through the ear canal and vibrated the ear drum which is connected to the cochlea and amplified the sound wave. When the sound wave reached the cochlea, sound wave is converted into nerve impulse and transferred through the nerve to the brain. Receptor is a converter of stimulus to electrical nerve impulse ; cochlea converted sound wave into nerve impulse and so cochlea is the sensory receptor of the ear.
Where is the mechanical stimulation of sound converted into a nerve impulse?
In The Hair cells.
What are the different forms of energy that are transferred enabling us to hear the radio?
There is a transfer from Radio waves (electrical energy) to Mechanical energy (sound). When you listen to a radio, the electromagnetic energy of the broadcast is converted to electrical current, also electromagnetic energy, which is converted to mechanical energy by the speaker. The vibration of the speaker (mechanical energy) is converted to sound energy (pressure waves) which travel through the air to your ear and is converted first to mechanical energy in your middle ear and then to pressure in a fluid in your inner ear. That fluid pressure wave is converted to mechanical energy as it stimulates the hair cells in your inner ear and they release a nerve signal. The nerve signal is electrical energy which it converted to chemical energy between each nerve sell and then back to electrical energy to flow through the nerve cell - so the nerve signal is electro-chemical energy. And that is processed by your brain to let you hear the sound of your radio.

In the cochlea?
Sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses :)
What is a difference between a microphone and megaphone?
A microphone translates a sound wave into an electrical impulse, and a speaker translates an electrical impulse into a sound wave.
Can sound energy converted into dc electrical output If it may please give me brief reasin of working?
No, the sound energy cannot be converted into DC electrical output.
What Sound vibration are converted into nerve impulses in the?
Cochlea apex
Hearing in the human is to transfer sound waves to fluid wave and then into action?
Hearing in humans, and most animals - vibration of the conducting medium (very often air) is converted to vibration of one or more parts of the skull - in humans, the ear drum and then the bones of the inner ear, this is then converted to an electrical signal (nerve impulse) that is detected and interpreted by the brain. A fluid is anything that flows, so air is a fluid.
Where do soundwaves go after the auditory ossicles?
After the auditory ossicles, sound waves enter the cochlea, which is a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear. Inside the cochlea, the sound waves are converted into electrical impulses by hair cells. These impulses are then transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are processed and interpreted as sound.
