The whole ear gathers sound. Deep inside there are bone tubes (called Inner Ear) with liquid and hair looking things inside (Hair cells). Sound makes the water and hairs move. The hairs send a signal to the brain. The brain puts it together so we can understand sounds and music.

What appliance uses small sound waves?
Microphones
How are sound waves made?
sound waves are made by amplitudes
Sound waves are waves?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
Sound waves cannot travel on the?
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.
How loud a sound seems is determined by what measurement of the sound waves?
Loudness is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves.
What appliance uses small sound waves?
Microphones
What device converts sound waves to electric current?
Microphones will convert sound waves into electrical signals. An ear (i..e human ear) will also convert sound waves into electrical signals.
What is sound collected by?
Sound is collected by microphones, which are devices that convert sound waves into electrical signals that can be processed, stored, and reproduced. Microphones can come in various types, such as dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones, each with its own characteristics suited for different applications.
How sound waves produced transmitted and propagated?
Sound waves are propagated as compression waves in air (and in other gases). They will be produced by any object vibrating at appropriate frequency. As far as humans are concerned, we can hear frequencies from about 25 HZ up to 15 kiloHz, though the upper register gets less efficient as you age. For music or speech transmission we use a loudspeaker which is some sort of diaphragm actuated by a moving coil which responds to electrical signals in this frequency range, and the diaphragm produces the compression waves simply by moving in and out. Sound waves travel at about 720 mph in air at normal temperature and pressure.

What part of a microphone converts sound waves into an electrical signal?
The diaphragm
How does a microphones work?
A microphone is a device that converts acoustical pressure waves (or sound, which is mechanical energy) into electrical energy or signals. All microphones have a diaphragm, membrane, or other mechanical element in them that vibrates sympathetically in response to the arriving acoustic wave fronts. This mechanical element acts on the electrical element to generate electromagnetic energy (voltage). The actual mechanism used to make the conversion from mechanical energy to electrical energy will vary from mic to mic. Let's examine one kind.We see some microphones that have a diaphragm with a coil of wire attached to that diaphragm. Inside the coil is a stationary magnet. The sound energy moves the diaphragm, which moves the coil (with the stationary magnet inside it). The movement of the coil in the fixed magnetic field generates an electrical signal in the coil that "corresponds" to the sound that created it. The signal may then be sent via wires to an amplifier. There are other types of microphones, and for information on them, follow the link below.

What is a diaphragm in a microphone?
An other word for diaphragm is membrane. A microphone is a device that converts mechanical pressure waves or sound in air into electrical voltage waves. Speaking into a microphone excites (moves) a membrane or diaphragm that is coupled to a device that creates an electrical voltage proportional to the produced sound pressure.
What are the pats of the microphone?
A microphone is a transducer designed to convert physical sound waves into electrical ones. The device consists of a diaphragm which responds to the sound pressure waves. This in turn will operate some method of producing electrical signals from that movement. This could be variations in capacitance, or magnetism or so on. Early telephone microphones merely had a container of electrically-conductive granules, (carbon microphone) and were somewhat noisy as a result. They had a high signal output however which was vry important at the time. The arrival of the vacuum tube allowed amplification, though the carbon mike still had application in simple phone systems. The early wax-cylinder microphones used the sound energy directly to cut a groove in the wax cylinder.
How do microphones collect sound?
Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm. This is a thin piece of material (such as paper, plastic or aluminium) which vibrates when it is struck by sound waves. In a typical hand-held mic like the one below, the diaphragm is located in the head of the microphone.When the diaphragm vibrates, it causes other components in the microphone to vibrate. These vibrations are converted into an electrical current which becomes the audio signal.
