Do tiny vibrations carry sound through the air?

Vibrations through some medium ARE sound. Vibrations through the air are just one example. The air vibrates and when the vibrations hit human ear drums, they are heard.


How does putting your ear to the ground help you hear better?

Hearing is a result of vibrations. The sound waves move through the air and vibrate your ear drum. The vibrations are translated by the brain as familiar sounds. Similarly, walls and doors resonate to the same sound waves and act like giant ear drums. By placing your ear to the door, you are effectively able to "transfer" those vibrations from the door (or wall) to your ear and hear, more clearly, what is happening on the other side.


What matter is sound?

Sound is vibrations not matter.


What causes all sounds?

sound comes from disturbances in the air, causing vibrations in the air molecules. Our ear has a bone (The stirrup, also known as the tiniest bone in the body ) that picks up these vibrations and sends a signal to the brain depending on how much the stirrup moved.


How the sound travels inside the ear?

Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.

What are free vibrations?

A tuning fork struck result in free vibrations.


What are the sounds of rain?

Vibrations are the scientific result to any sound.


What is the cause of the sound?

The sound is caused by vibrations in the air, creating waves that travel to our ears and are interpreted by our brain as sound. Different frequencies and amplitudes of vibrations result in different sounds.


What is a quality determined by the speed of vibration of sound waves?

Pitch is the quality determined by the speed of vibration of sound waves. Faster vibrations result in higher pitch, while slower vibrations result in lower pitch.


Meaning of enlargement?

the process of making bigger, or the result of becoming bigger


What speed of vibration causes a pitch to be high or low?

Higher frequency vibrations result in a higher pitch, while lower frequency vibrations produce a lower pitch. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the vibrations in the air.


Is the frequency of sound vibrations affected by the pitch of the sound?

Yes, and an easier way to think about it is to remember that the pitch of a sound is directly affected by the frequency of the sound vibrations. For instance, when you tighten a string on a guitar, the tighter string creates more vibrations, thus a higher pitch.


What is the difference between sound waves and vibrations?

Sound waves are the result of vibrations traveling through a medium, like air or water. Vibrations refer to the rapid back-and-forth motion of particles or objects producing the sound. In summary, vibrations are the cause, while sound waves are the effect.


How does the surface waves cause rocks to move?

the surface waves cause vibrations invisible to the eye. these vibrations shake rocks and stuff on the surface and result in fractional movement.


What causes therm energy?

Thermal energy is the result of the constant movement and vibrations of the atoms in a substance


When the volume is loud does it vibrate more or less?

The higher the volume of sound, the bigger the vibrations. This is because more and bigger sound waves are being produced by the source of sound.


How crystal movements can result in Earthquakes?

Crystals have electric properties which are responsible for producing vibrations which cause earthquakes...
