What does the outer ear do to sound waves?
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
Can sound energy pass through an empty space?
Never. Sound propagates as longitudinal waves which are a kind of mechanical waves. These waves require a medium for them to pass. The medium can be either solid, liquid or gaseous. Thus, in empty space i.e. vacuum, sound can never pass.
What type of mediums do sound waves travel trough?
All matter. However, sound waves cannot pass through vacuums, such as space.
HOW TO PASS THROUGH SOLIDS?
it is physically impossible to pass through a solid objectansw2. But heat may pas through a solid, as may sound waves.
What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
What materials will sound travel through?
Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are waves which can pass through a region where nothing exists such as outerspace which of the waves below is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound.
HOW TO PASS THROUGH SOLIDS?
it is physically impossible to pass through a solid objectansw2. But heat may pas through a solid, as may sound waves.
What wave cannot travel through empty space?
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
Pass through the cochlea and are transformed into nerve impulses and sent to the brain?
sound waves
What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
What determines the velocity of sound wave?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves in air. Velocity of sound waves in air at NTP = 332 m/s. Sound waves cannot pass through free space they essentially needs material medium for their propagation.
Can sound travel through oxygen?
Sound can travel through fire as it does not directly affect sound. Sound travels in waves which can pass through solid objects but this limits the distance they can go.
A single bump or disturbance that travels through a medium?
Sound causes vibrations in waves that pass through a medium.
