What types of waves carry sound?
sound sent through liquids or gases is called compression waves sound sent through solids is called longitudinal and transverse waves
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
Sound waves pass through the cochlea and cause tiny hair cells to bend, which generates electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are interpreted as sounds.
What are the sound waves sent to the ocean floor called?
Sonar waves.
What happens to sound waves in air?
Sound waves travel through air as fluctuations in pressure caused by vibrating objects. When sound waves reach our ears, they cause our eardrums to vibrate, which our brain interprets as sound. Sound waves lose energy as they travel through air, which is why sounds become quieter the farther away we are from the source.
How does movement cause sound?
Sound is waves in the air that vibrate the ear drum in your ears allowing you to hear. When movement is made these waves are sent through the air and are perceived as sound if they are with audible range. So technically when you fart there is waves gong through the air that can be detected by your ears!!!
Types of sound waves?
Sound waves are a longitudinal wave - a compression and rarefaction. These waves can vary in frequency, and by their complexity. Some sounds are pleasant and musical, whilst other waves are unpleasant or raucous. Sound waves also vary in amplitude. from the softest to the painfully loud.
How does sound pass through the ears?
Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel down the ear canal to the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in response to the sound waves, which then pass through the middle ear bones (ossicles) and into the inner ear. In the inner ear, the sound waves are converted to electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
How does the physics of a speaker enable it to produce sound waves?
A speaker produces sound waves through the physics of electromagnetism. When an electrical signal is sent to the speaker, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with a diaphragm or cone, causing it to vibrate and push air molecules, creating sound waves that we hear.
How low or high a sound seems?
Sound is pressure waves travelling through the air. The brain can detect the difference in sound frequency, based on the distance between pressure waves, by the ear which physically responds to incoming sound waves. Volume, frequency and direction are identified, then translated and sent to the brain as electrical signals.

How is a radio a form of sound energy?
A radio converts electrical energy into sound energy by vibrating a speaker cone to produce sound waves that we can hear. The electrical signals sent by the radio station are translated into sound waves that travel through the air to our ears, creating the sensation of sound.
How is sound from a radio tranferred through air?
By radio waves sent from the radio station, collected and converted back to audio by a radio.
