Trace the path of sound waves as they enter the ear Start with the outer ear?
Sound waves first enter the outer ear, which consists of the pinna (visible portion) and the ear canal. The pinna helps collect sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. The sound waves then travel through the ear canal and reach the eardrum (tympanic membrane) at the end of the canal.
What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
What structure is the first to be set in motion by sound waves as they arrive through the outer ear?
the ear drum
Would sound waves traveling through the outer ear travel faster or slower than those traveling through the inner ear?
yes it can yes it can

Where do sound waves enter through?
The ear canal.
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
What does the outer ear do to sound waves?
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
How do you hear sound through the ear?
when you hear things, its really sound waves. the sound waves enter your ear, then it vibrates the ear drum.
What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?
Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.
What part of your ear do sound waves enter through?
Ear canal
How does sound travel through a microphone?
Sound waves enter the microphone and are then converted to an analog electric current.
What does the outer ear do to sound?
gather sound waves
Which type of waves can travel through earth's outer cores?
Primary waves ( P-waves) can travel through earth's outer core.
How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
