What else can I help you with?
How does echolocation in the toothed whales work where is the sound produced what role does the melon play how does the sound get back to the ear?
Toothed whales produce sound by sending out clicks through their forehead region, which is aided by a fatty structure called the melon. The melon helps focus and direct the sound waves. The sound waves bounce off objects in the water and return to the whale's lower jaw, which conducts the sound to the middle ear through specialized tissues and bones. This allows the whale to interpret the echoes and navigate its surroundings.
Which sense responds to the energy caused by movement of air molecules?
The sense of hearing responds to the energy caused by movement of air molecules. Sound waves are created when air molecules vibrate and these waves are detected by the ear, allowing us to perceive sound.
What is that organism can create loudest sound?
The blue whale is the loudest living animal on Earth at present. It can create sound waves through mating calls that go up to 188 decibels.
What kind of wave are sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves; they travel from side to side, not up and down like transverse waves.
Which is not a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves are not a type of electromagnetic wave. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, whereas electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
How does a blue whale sense?
They sense using sonar/sound waves.
How does the killer whale echolocate?
THE killer whale echolocate by sending out sound waves
Which animal can hear ultrasonic waves?
whale can hear ultrasonic sound waves.
What are 2 examples of sound waves?
a bat and a whale
Bats can sense obstacles because they produce 1. supersonic sound waves 2. ultrasonic sound waves 3.infrasonic sound waves 4. micro Sound waves?
Bats produce ultrasonic sound waves to sense obstacles in their environment. These waves bounce back, allowing bats to navigate and locate objects in the dark.
Bats can sense obstacles because they produce which waves?
ultrasonic sound waves
What sound waves help Bats to sense obstacles?
Bats use high-frequency sound waves, called echolocation, to sense obstacles in their environment. They emit these sound waves which bounce off objects, allowing the bat to receive and interpret the echoes to navigate and locate prey.
Does whale have a short I sound?
No. The vowel sound heard in "whale" is a long A, the same sound as wail.
What do bats produce that makes it possible for them to sense obstacles?
Ultrasonic sound waves
Why is the sense of hearing not called the sense of sound?
The sense of hearing refers to the physiological ability to perceive sound waves, while sound itself refers to the vibration that travels through a medium like air. The term "hearing" is more specific to the human physiological process of perceiving sound waves through the ears, whereas "sound" encompasses a broader concept of vibration and auditory sensations.
How does a blue whale know where it's prey is?
well first it makes sound waves and if the bounce of they know that its prey is near
Does a low sound produce more sound waves?
no but the reason they can be heard so far away is because the sound waves travel much farther than higher pitch sound waves. google image sound waves. since lower ones are flatter they can do this and they can penetrate through physical obstacles. for example whales communicate with low frequency sounds and thus they can talk to a fellow whale miles and miles away
