Does sound reaches our ears due to change in air pressure?

Yes, sound reaches our ears due to vibrations in the air, which cause changes in air pressure. These pressure changes are detected by the ear and converted into signals that our brain interprets as sound.


What happens to a sound wave when it is reflected off a wall as an echo?

When a sound wave is reflected off a wall as an echo, it bounces back and reaches our ears after a short delay, creating a repeated and fainter version of the original sound.


What happens to sound when a person covers their ears with their hands?

Sounds waves do not enter our ears


What Property of sound depends on the amount of energy a sound wave has as it reaches our ears?

I don't understand your questions. I know that our ear drums and the microphone diaphragms are moved directly by the sound pressure p, that is a sound field quantity. Forget the sound energy quantities when you talk about ears.


Why you could not locate the source of sound inside sea?

We locate the direction of a sound because the sound reaches one of your ears before it reaches the other. Under the sea, the speed of sound is several times faster than in the air; this will make the time difference too small - apart from the fact that it confuses our brain, if we do detect a slight difference.We locate the direction of a sound because the sound reaches one of your ears before it reaches the other.

Why lights is visible before thundering?

The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound. Lightning and thunder happen at the same time, but the light reaches your eyes before the sound reaches your ears.


What sound does a saxophone make before it reaches the ears?

From the standpoint of quantum physics, there is no sound until there is an observer, so based on that, the answer would be none.


What is the explosive sound heard when a shock wave from an object traveling faster than the speed of sound reaches the ears of a person?

A sonic boom


What does alto saxophone sound like?

The Alto Saxophone is a rich and lovely sound wich echoes but iit can hurt a dogs ears when it reaches an extremly high pich noise.


What happens to a noise if there is no air?

All noise I is vibrations in the air, and your ears feel these vibrations and translate them into sound. So no air = no sound


What happens when sound is produced?

When sound is produced, it creates vibrations in the air molecules. These vibrations travel as waves through the air until they reach our ears. Our ears detect these waves and convert them into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound.


What causes you to hear a clap?

A clap is created by the rapid collision and separation of two surfaces, typically hands, creating a sharp sound wave that travels through the air. This sound wave reaches your ears, where it is converted into electrical signals that are then processed by your brain, allowing you to perceive the sound of the clap.
