What occurs when sound waves don't pass through the outer to the inner ear?
You don't hear anything. They don't actually have to get there through the outer ear. If your ear is plugged, or if your 'tympanum' (ear drum) is broken, the vibrations can conduct through the bone that you feel behind your ear. But they do have to get to the inner ear somehow. If vibrations don't reach the cochlea in the inner ear, then you don't hear anything.
How does the ear interprets sound?
The ear interprets sound through a process that involves the outer, middle, and inner ear. Sound waves are captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal to the eardrum in the middle ear, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations then pass through the ossicles to the cochlea in the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that travel to the brain via the auditory nerve for interpretation.
How does the outer ear pass sound vibrations to the middle ear?
The outer ear collects sound waves and funnels them through the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves, which then transmit these vibrations to the middle ear through the three small bones called the ossicles.
Why can your ear hear sound?
Because my eardrums are sensitive to the oscillations in the molecules in the air and pass on the vibrations to the inner ear where tiny hairs in fluid, attached to nerves, convert the vibrations into electrical signals which my brain can then interpret as sound.
Why is the s-wave shadow zone larger than the p- wave shadow zone?
S waves cannot pass through the outer core. P waves can pass through both outer and inner core.
What takes sound waves from the inner ear to the brain?
Sound travels in waves. Our ears pick up these waves and funnel them to the eardrum. The eardrum interprets them as vibrations. These vibrations pass through the eardrum, into the inner ear via the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones. This causes fluid in the inner ear to bend tiny hairs which convert the vibrations into nerve impulses. The auditory nerve then sends the signals to the brain, which converts them again into the sound of what is heard.
How the human ear hears sound?
1. The outer ear picks up the sound vibrations 2. These sound waves travel through the ear canal 3. The eardrum vibrates and make 3 tiny bones in the middle ear move 4. These bones send these vibrations to the shell-shaped structure called choqlea 5. The sound vibrations make the liquid in the cocheleq move making the hair move back and forth 6. The hair are joined to the nerves and send signals to your brain
What does virbration pass from the eardrum?
Large amplitude - low power vibrations in air move the ear drums.They are connected to the ossicles( malleus, incus, and stapes),bones of the middle ear which change the vibrations into low amplitude - high power vibrationswhich are transmitted through the skull to the fluid of the inner ear.Those (fluid) vibrations are what you can detect as sound.
Why can't s waves pass trough the earth's core while p waves can?
This is because the Outer Core is liquid, and we know from experiments that S-waves cannot travel through liquids. If they could pass through the outer core, they could pass through the Inner, but they are absorbed by the first barrier, at the Gutenberg Discontinuity.
Do snake have ears?
Snakes do not have ears. Instead, they rely on vibrations, heat, and motion. They follow heat and some motions. What you see in shows where a person is playing a song, which is when the snake is dancing up from a container, is not true. They cannot hear, but follow the owner or trainer's motions. they use their underbelly to detect vibration..
In which layers can P waves pass through?
P waves can pass through the Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. They are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.
Where is the last place in hearing that pressure or sound pass through?
The last place in the ear where pressure or sound waves pass through is the cochlea, located in the inner ear. The cochlea is responsible for converting these sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.
