What happens when a sound wave hits a small thin membrane?
The membrane (such as you eardrum) vibrates.
A thin patch of skin in the ear that vibrates when sound waves strike it?
Ear Drum also known as the Typanic Membrane
What type of membrane secretes a thin watery fluid to reduce friction and lubricate the organs?
serous
What do sound waves vibrate?
They vibrate the molecules in the substance they propagate in.A thin membrane will vibrate when hit by sound waves. This can be a ribbon element in a microphone or the tympanic membrane (eardrum) in an ear. This can also cause destruction of a structure. Certain bridges may be susceptible to sympathetic vibrations. The sound waves can cause the structure to start vibrating. These vibrations can increase in amplitude until the structure fails. The Tacoma narrows bridge (Galloping Gertie) failed from something similar, called aeroelastic flutter, which was caused by wind.
How do anechoic chambers work?
The walls of expensive chambers are fitted with foam wedges. The sound goes in and cannot come back out. Egg cartons, Blankets with form rubber behind them all soak up sound. A (not recommended) thin sheet of lead will work also. Sound hits it and does not bounce off it very well.

What is the Thin living membrane surrounding cytoplasm?
plasma membrane
What thin membrane encloses the cytoplasm?
The cell membrane is the thin layer that holds cells together. Cell membranes are used as barriers and for protection.
What is tympanum system?
The tympanic membrane, or ear drum. A thin piece of skin inside the ear that moves backwards and forwards when sound waves reach it
What is the thin membrane called that covers a mollusks organs?
the membrane is called the mantel
What membrane is the extremely thin barrier between the alveoli and the capillaries?
respiratory membrane
What is the thin flexible membrane around all cells?
the cell membrane is as flexible barrier outside of the cell.
Which thin membrane separates the outer and middle ear in tetrapods?
