What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?

Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.


Trace the path of sound waves as they enter the ear Start with the outer ear?

Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.


What is the tube that sound waves travel along to get to the ear drum?

The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.


Sound waves from a radio generally travel in what medium?

Sound waves from a radio typically travel through the air as it is a medium that allows for the propagation of sound waves. Sound waves are generated by the radio transmitter and then travel through the air as vibrations in the form of pressure waves to reach the receiver.


Sound waves can what off of a wall so that you hear an what?

Sound waves can bounce off a wall, so that you hear an echo. This phenomenon occurs when sound waves travel to a surface, reflect off it, and return to your ears after a short delay. The time difference between the original sound and the echo allows you to perceive the reflected sound.

What machine allows you to see sound waves?

An oscilloscope is a machine that allows you to see sound waves. It displays the waveform of an electrical signal that represents the sound waves in real time.


Do sound waves get bigger when they enter the ear?

Sound waves do not physically get bigger when they enter the ear. The ear converts the varying pressure of sound waves into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. The perception of loudness can change based on how many sound waves reach the ear and how sensitive the ear is to them.


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.


Where do sound waves enter through?

Sound waves enter through the ear canal, where they travel to the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in response to the sound waves, transmitting the vibrations to the inner ear where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.


Where do sound waves enter the ear to initiate the process of hearing?

Sound waves enter the ear through the ear canal, also known as the auditory canal, to initiate the process of hearing.


How do sounds waves get for a guitar to your ears?

When you play a guitar, the strings vibrate, creating sound waves that travel through the air. These sound waves enter your ear and cause your eardrum to vibrate, sending signals to your brain that are interpreted as sound. This process allows you to hear the music being played on the guitar.


What property of sound allows you to hear sound waves around corners?

Diffraction is the property of sound that allows you to hear sound waves around corners. It causes sound waves to bend and spread out when encountering obstacles, allowing sound to be heard even when it doesn't travel in a straight line.


What part of your ear do sound waves enter through?

Ear canal


The external acoustic meatus is a foramen in which skull bone?

It is located on temporal side of the skull and it is where sounds enters the human ear leading to the tympanic membrane. It is sometimes referred to as the extermal auditory canal.


What allows sound waves to convert into mechanical waves that stimulate hairs in organ of corti?

It is the [constantly varying] Physical Energy that makes up and composes sound waves.


What happens to the sound waves when it enter into vacuum?

How does sound travel through a microphone?

Sound waves enter the microphone and are then converted to an analog electric current.
