Yes, that's the anatomy but not the answer to that question, which actually almost answers itself. Sound is a series of pressure-waves travelling through the air (or water).

∙ 15y agosound is actually waves in the air. the vibrations in the air make ur eardrum vibrate, and the nerves in your ear send the message to your brain that interprets the signal as a sound

What is wave energy?
There are several types of wave energy.Sound waves carry energy from the source of the sound to your ears. Loud sounds can damage your ears, and even make windows rattle.Light waves are another form of wave energy. Laser beams are very powerful light beams that can cut or weld metals.Water waves can carry a surfboard rider to the beach, damage jetties and change the shape of the coastline.Shock waves produced by earthquakes can make buildings move and do enormous amounts if damage.Our ear drums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure motions and not by sound energy or sound intensity.
Why can't we hear when we have a lot of ear wax?
Because in order for us to hear, sound waves need to reach the eardrum - which vibrates - creating the sounds. Excessive earwax blocks the sound-waves reaching the eardrum, which reduces the volume of sounds.
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 is the ear shaped the way it is?
The visible portion of the ear is shaped in such a way that it best amplifies sound. A pig's ear is large and concave so that it can trap sound waves and amplify them inside the pig's ear for optimum hearing.
What is the purpose of an ear?
The primary function of the ears is to allow us to hear sounds. In order to hear a sound, the ears are equipped with small parts known as the "drum". What happens is when a sound finds its way into our ears, the drumb and other hairs pick up vibrations (or soundwaves), which produce a sound registration in our brains.
What waves reach our ears?
Sound (pressure) waves.
What waves reach our ears on playing guitar?
Sound waves (which are pressure waves).
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
What do ears convert?
Sound waves.
What travels in waves and we use our ears to hear it?
Sound is something that travels in waves and we hear with our ears.
What happens to the sound waves after they travel a lot but not reach your ears?
they get dispersed and loose their momentum. that is the wave is no more able to vibrate the air..
What sre sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal vibrations through matter that ears can pick up as sound.
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum vibrates when sound waves reach it.
Are sound waves used when listening to music?
Everything you listen to is because of sound waves reaching the ears.
How do we detect sound?
Normally, we detect sound by listening with our ears. As sound is waves, there are instruments that can detect and show the waves on a screen.
What happens when sound reaches your ears?
you can hear A very complicated process of turning waves into sound occurs in your ears
Is Daquans Mixtape fire?
Yes, but we have no proof because whomever listens to his mixtape will burn in hell as soon as the sound waves reach thous ears.
