When a sound is made outside the outer ear, the sound waves, or vibrations, travel down the external auditory canal and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum vibrates. The vibrations are then passed to 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. The ossicles amplify the sound.
Sound waves are 'collected' by the ear drum. This is a film stretched across the ear canal. Much like it's namesake, it responds to sound waves by vibrating. These vibrations are read as electrical signals by your nerves, and it is transmitted to brain as impulses.
The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is the part of the ear that converts sound waves into vibrations. When sound waves reach the eardrum, it vibrates and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear.
As part of the external ear, the auricle or pinna acts like a horn to capture sound waves. They are then diverted or collected into the auditory canal. At the end of the canal is the tympanic membrane (eardrum) which changes the sound into vibrations to be transmitted further into the ear.
The three sections are the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. There are links below to the images of the ear's anatomy.
The auricle or pinna of the outer ear acts like a horn to capture the sound waves which are then tunneled into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
The skin of the drum vibrates to produce sound.
its the stretched membrane like the tabla
The cone of a speaker is what vibrates to make sound. In some hard speakers with a rigid cone-shaped horn, a flexible diaphragm vibrates. Withut the vibration, you get no sound.
The vibrating part of a Ghatam is the open mouth or the hole at the top of the pot. This is where the sound is produced when the player strikes the pot or applies pressure with their hand while playing.
Ektara is a string instrument. Therfore the string of the instrument virates and this produces sound.
The vibrating part of a dholak is the circular membrane, known as the puri, which is typically made of goat skin. This membrane is struck with the hands or a stick to produce the drum's sound.
The vibrating part of a tabla drum is the puri, made of leather and placed on the smaller drum (dayan). When struck with the fingers, the puri produces the distinct resonant sound that is characteristic of the tabla.
the manjira itself vibrates to produce sound
The main vibrating part of a sitar is the strings. When plucked or strummed, the strings produce sound that resonates throughout the instrument and is amplified by the gourd resonator.
External (outer) ear.
A lyre is a stringed instrument, so the vibrating part is a string originally made from catgut.
skin is the vibrating object of tabla
