Sound is a wave that vibrates the eardrum (tympanic membrane) this vibration moves tiny bones (malleus, incus,stapes) that magnify and transmit the vibration to the oval window of the choclea. Inside the chochlea are tiny hair cells that when bent by the vibrations send an impulse to the brain.
What else can I help you with?
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
What does most of the sound you hear travel through?
Most of the sound you hear travels through air. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air and reach your ears, where they are processed by your brain as sound.
If you put your hands on your ears and hum what does the sound travel through?
bone
What does sound usually travel through to reach your ears?
Sound usually travels through the air as vibrations. These vibrations cause particles in the air to compress and expand, creating pressure waves that travel to your ears. Your ears then detect these waves and convert them into signals that your brain interprets as sound.
Where do sound waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
How does sound travel maraca?
Sound travels through the air as a series of pressure waves. When you shake a maraca, the vibrations of the seeds inside create pressure waves that travel through the air to our ears. Our ears detect these pressure waves and translate them into sound that we perceive.
What creates sound in the environment?
Sound in the environment is created by vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air, and are detected by our ears.
When you hear sound do the molecules of air move to where the sound began to your ears?
No, the molecules of air do not physically travel from the sound source to your ears. Sound is transmitted through the air by the vibration of air molecules in a wave-like motion, similar to ripples on the surface of water. These vibrations travel through the air until they reach your ears, where they are converted into electrical signals that your brain interprets as sound.
What must happen for sound to be made?
Sound is produced through the vibration of an object. This vibration creates sound waves that travel through a medium, such as air, and reach our ears. When these sound waves reach our ears, they are translated into electrical signals that the brain perceives as sound.
Why can you not hear in a vacuum?
Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so there is no way for the waves to reach your ears and be processed as sound.
Can sound travel through air?
Yes. That is how you normally hear it. It moves at over 700 miles an hour.
What energy can you hear?
Energy in the form of sound waves can be heard by our ears. Sound waves are produced by vibrating objects and travel through a medium, such as air, before reaching our ears and being perceived as sound.
