Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas; particularly, sound means those vibrations composed of frequencies capable of being detected by ears.

Our ear drums are moved only by sound pressure deviantions through air.

Scroll down to related links and look at "Subjectively perceived loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power)".

Where are sound vibrations first received?

Sound vibrations are first received in the outer ear, specifically the ear canal. The vibrations travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate.


The function of the eardrum in the middle ear is to A- carry the sound energy to the brain B- collect the sound waves C- amplify the received sound D- vibrate with the frequency of the received sound?

D- The eardrum in the middle ear vibrates with the frequency of the received sound. These vibrations are then transmitted to the small bones in the middle ear, which amplify and transmit the sound to the inner ear for further processing.


How is sound received?

Sound is received by the ear when sound waves travel through the air and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted to the inner ear where they are converted into electrical signals that are interpreted by the brain as sound.


How do you know where a sound is coming from?

Our brains determine the direction of a sound by comparing the time it takes for the sound to reach each ear, as well as the intensity and frequency of the sound wave in each ear. This helps us localize where the sound is coming from based on slight differences in the information received by each ear.


What is sounding in science?

Sound is basically the physiological sensation received by the ear. It is cause due to vibrations.


What does the outer ear do to sound waves?

to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear


What part of the ear is sound produced by?

The ear does not produce (make) sound.


Is it true that the funnel for sound waves in the ear is the outer ear?

No, the funnel for sound waves in the ear is actually the outer ear. The outer ear acts like a funnel, directing sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves.


The sound travels at the speed of light to your ear?

No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.


How do you hear sound through the ear?

when you hear things, its really sound waves. the sound waves enter your ear, then it vibrates the ear drum.


Which part of the ear traps sound?

The outer ear, specifically the ear canal and the eardrum (tympanic membrane), traps and funnels sound waves towards the middle ear for processing.


Where in the human body can you find the cochlea?

The cochlea is located at the end of the ear canal - inside the ear. It contains fluid and microscopic hairs (cilia). Sound waves received by the ear causes movement of the cilia - which is interpreted by the brain.
