Why does the ear pick up sound waves instead of light waves?
The two are different because Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves, but light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves, and sound requires a medium through which to travel, but light doesn't. Basically, Sound waves move sort of differently than Light waves.
Why can sonar systems never be used in space?
because they are used for under water sounds and a radar is used in space. Sonar means SOund Navigation And Ranging for underwater. Radar picks up radio waves for above water including space.
What structure in the ear converts sound waves into nerve impulses?
In general, the cochlea. More specifically, an impulse is carried into the brain along the auditory nerve when the tectorial membrane and the basilar membrane inside the cochlea are pressed together by the force of sound waves.
Collecting and focusing sound waves is primarily the job of the?
outer eat
How does sound travel to your ear?
sound is actually vibrations. your eardrum is highly sensitive, like ripples on water, it picks up these vibrations
What is the modern meaning of the word echo?
The modern definition of echo is the repetition of sound produced by the reflection of sound waves from a wall, mountain, or other obstructing surface.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Does a soft sound have tall waves?
No, soft sound waves have short waves. Loud sound waves are the ones that have tall waves.
Why are sound waves are described as pressure waves?
Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
Bats can sense obstacles because they produce 1. supersonic sound waves 2. ultrasonic sound waves 3.infrasonic sound waves 4. micro Sound waves?
ultrasonic sound waves
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
Is collecting sound the same as captureing sound waves?
Sound waves are what make up sound (sound waves=sound) so I would suppose so.
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
Do Modern computers process data as analog signals or wave lengths similar to sound waves?
yes
