What is air borne vibrations?
basically its vibrations in the air
Sound waves from the air travel on the auditory nerve to the brain?
No, electrical impulses generated within the auditory senses do that.
What happens when sound travels?
Sound travels by creating vibrations in the air. (Or in the water if the source and/or the reciever are under water.) These vibrations in the air are sound.
How do the vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves?
The vibrations of an audio speaker produce sound waves by compressions and rarefactions in air particles.
What does a loudspeaker change electrical energy into?
Sound - vibrations in the air.
Do ossicles equalize pressure?
No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.
What equalizes air pressure in respiratory system?
The auditory (eustachian) tube
When people hear a sound their ears turn the vibrations in the air into neural messages from the auditory nerve which makes it possible for the brain to interpret the sound This process is called?
Encoding
What is air borne vibrations?
basically its vibrations in the air
What allows us to hear sounds underwater?
The soundwaves caused by sounds made underwater, disrupts the water molecules causing them to vibrate. These vibrations hit our ear drum and is processed into our brain as sounds, but since the vibrations in water are slower then vibrations in air the sounds sound more obsure then if it were not in water.
Do tiny vibrations carry sound through the air?
Vibrations through some medium ARE sound. Vibrations through the air are just one example. The air vibrates and when the vibrations hit human ear drums, they are heard.
Are sound vibrations words?
yes sounds are air vibrations.
How the sound travels inside the ear?
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.
In which part of the ear receives the vibrations in the air?
The eardrum receives the vibrations of the air.
What happens to a noise if there is no air?
All noise I is vibrations in the air, and your ears feel these vibrations and translate them into sound. So no air = no sound
Why does sound travel in vibrations?
Because sounds are formed by vibrations, therefore there is no sound without vibrations. Furthermore, there is no vibrations without air. Consequently, sound needs air to vibrate forming waves of sound.
Sound is produced on a clarinet by what means?
Vibrations in the air caused by vibrations of the reed.
