What structure is the first to be set in motion by sound waves as they arrive through the outer ear?

The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is the first structure to be set in motion by sound waves as they arrive through the outer ear. The sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, which sets off a chain reaction that allows us to hear.


Do the waves paper boat into motion what is required to set an object into a motion?

To set an object into motion, a force must be applied to overcome any resistance or inertia that may exist. In the case of waves moving a paper boat, the force of the water displacement propels the boat forward. The amount of force needed depends on the mass of the object and the resistance it encounters in its environment.

Which wave has a particle motion parallel to a wave motion?

Longitudinal waves have a particle motion that is parallel to the wave motion. In these waves, particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
