How do vibrations produced in your ear by a sound wave enable you to hear the sound?

The idea is that our ears have organs which are specifically designed to detect those vibrations. Note that only vibrations between about 20 and 20,000 hertz (i.e., cycles per second) can be detected by human ears.

Do vibrations travel through air?
Yes. If they didn't you wouldn't hear sound. Your ear picks up the vibrations it receives and interprets them as sounds.
What physical signs did you observe when you plucked each band did you hear any sound?
what physicalsingn did you abserve when you plucked each.did you hear any sound? what produced the sound?
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
When an object vibrates, it forces the neighbouring particles of the medium to vibrate. These vibrating particles then force the particles adjacent to them to vibrate. In this way, vibrations produced by an object are transferred from one particle to another till it reaches the ear.
Can sound created in air travel through water?
Yes. When you're underwater in the pool, you can hear the lifeguard's whistle. The vibrations in air do set up vibrations in the water when they hit the surface.
How is pitch related to wave speed?
The faster the wave speed, the higher the pitch of the sound will be. 20 vibrations is the lowest amount of vibrations needed per second for a human to be able to hear it
How vibrations produced in your by a sound wave enable you to hear the sound?
it just how your brain works see a scienctist to prove me right or wrong

How does someone hear a sound?
sound waves and vibrations
How is the sound from a cello produced?
The sound is produced by the strings vibrating. You can play a cello by plucking the strings (like a guitar) or by playing with a bow (like a violin).
Can a cell hear sound?
Sound is nothing but vibrations being traversed in a material medium. These vibrations may be sensed by cells. If you consider this sensation as hearing then we can declare that cells could hear sound.
Why do dogs hear better than people?
they are more keen and can hear the vibrations from the sound.
How do millipedes sound?
No, they do not hear with eardrums, but in fact "hear" with their legs by detecting vibrations.
How do you produce ultrasonic waves in laboratory?
Humans can hear sound around ca. 20 - 20,000 vibrations per second; ultrasound is sound beyond that (faster). Sound is produced by making the air vibrate - with a vibrating object. Such sound can be produced by a transducer - specifically, one that uses a physical effect to convert electrical signals into vibrations. Producing a high-frequency electrical signal is relatively easy.
How do you hear the sound coming from a drum?
Through sound waves travelling as vibrations through the air.
How do bees hear?
Bees don't have ears, so don't hear sound in the way we do. However they are sensitive to vibrations through their legs, and their antennae are sensitive to vibrations as well.
Where might you expect to hear no sound?
in a vacume or somewhere when no vibrations can reach In your grave.
Why does sound need air?
Sound needs air because sound is the traveling of vibrations from one atom to another atom. In the vacuum of space, there are no gas particles or atoms for vibrations to travel through, which means there is no sound. Air has atoms in it (oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms for the most part) that vibrations can travel through so we can hear sound so we do not have to press our ears to every object to hear its sound.
