What makes light travel so fast?
Unlike sound it travels through atoms and molecules. Also, the intake from the eye can interpret the light much faster than the ear can interpret sound making it seem as if sound is much slower than light when in fact it is almost the same speed.
Do speed of sound increases with increasing temperature in the ear?
Sound does travel slightly faster as air temperature increases and this applies when the sound enters the ear just as it does in any other air. Once the sound has passed the ear drum, air is no longer the medium in which the sound travels so air temperature no longer affects the speed of sound.
What is the order in which sound travels through the ear?
Sound travels through the ear in the following order: outer ear, ear canal, eardrum, middle ear bones (ossicles), cochlea in the inner ear.
Why when you turn on a light why doesn't it make a big bang like when you go faster than sound?
Sound travels through air when something pushes or vibrates it. A sonic boom occurs when something pushes through the air faster than the speed of sound and the sound waves get bunched up and arrive at your ear all at one time. Light also travels faster than sound. In fact, light traveling through a vacuum is the fastest anything can travel through the universe. However, when light travels through the air, it doesn't push it or form mechanical waves in the air. Since light doesn't move the air as it travels, it doesn't make any sound at all.
When sound is created it travels to the ear through a what?
Sound travels to the ear through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, causing the particles in the medium to vibrate. These vibrations are then detected by the ear and converted into electrical signals that are interpreted by the brain as sound.
How long does it take sound to travel from the ear canal to the eardrum?
Sound travels from the ear canal to the eardrum almost instantaneously, as both structures are in close proximity within the ear. The speed of sound in air is about 343 meters per second (1235 km/h, 767 mph).
How the ringing sound of a telephone travels from the phone to your ear?
The vibrations from the phone ringing travels through the air snot into the outer part of your ear
Why sound of light can't be heard?
Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Light, on the other hand, travels as electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium. Therefore, light does not produce sound waves that can be heard by the human ear.
How does sound travel to your ear?
Sound travels to your ear as air particles vibrate when sound waves are created. These vibrations enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
Describe how the ringing sound of a telephone travels from the phone to your ear.?
The vibrations from the phone ringing travels through the air snot into the outer part of your ear
What type of energy travels through your ears?
Sound energy travels through your ears. Sound waves are transferred through the air and enter the ear canal, where they vibrate the eardrum and are processed by the inner ear to be interpreted by the brain as sound.
How does sound travel through the air?
it travels because there are sound waves in the air and they vibrate in your ear.
