If understand your question correctly i think its just sound waves creating pressure in the air which vibrate the tiny bones in your inner ear which eventually reach the organ of corti where the vibrations are translated into sound.
The frequency tells you the tone pitch, which is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. The colloquial word intensity (energy) tells you the loudness of a sound. In reality is meant the sound pressure level SPL of the sound which is no energy.
<P> <P>The stimulus frequency is how often the stimulus is admitted. For example, every 30 seconds, every minute and 1/2, etc. <P>Stimulus strength describes the level of force used to administer the stimulus such as mild, moderate or maximum.</P>
A sudden drop in temperature would be a response to a stimulus.
Tonge or heart
skin and pain
sound
It can be, yes.
sound
Sound
the sound of thunder would be a STIMULUS....
The loudness of a sound depends on the intensity of the sound stimulus. A dynamite explosion is loader than that of a cap pistol because of the greater amount of air molecules the dynamite is capable of displacing. After the sound stimulus reaches our ears, it vibrates the eardrum and converts this into sound.
our senses will detect stimulus and send impulse into the integrating centre(brain) to interpret. the brain will produce appropriate response toward the stimulus to the effector. e.g when Telephone ring, the ears will detect the stimulus(sound) and the brain will produce the response to pick up the phone (copy from Yahoo answers)
I am pretty sure that it is sound, and loudness.
stimulus
A stimulus
A starting point. Something used to base the piece around. There are 4 kinds of stimulus- words, images, sound and objects.
The appropriate sequence is as follows: Present the auditory stimulus (unconditioned stimulus) Follow the auditory stimulus with a puff of air to the eye (unconditioned response) Pair the auditory stimulus with the puff of air multiple times Eventually, the auditory stimulus alone will elicit an eyeblink response (conditioned response)
