Which structure is a duct filled with fluid that vibrates when the sound waves strike it?

Cochlea is the structure that contains a duct filled with fluid called endolymph and vibrates when sound waves strike it. It is a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that plays a crucial role in hearing by converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.

When does resonance occur when an object vibrates in response to sound waves of a certain frequency?

Resonance occurs when an object vibrates in response to sound waves of a certain frequency.


What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?

The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is the thin membrane in the ear that vibrates when sound waves reach it. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle and inner ear for further processing.


What is a thin patch of skin in the ear that vibrates when sound strikes it?

The thin patch of skin in the ear that vibrates when sound strikes it is called the tympanic membrane, commonly known as the eardrum. It is located at the end of the ear canal and plays a crucial role in hearing by converting sound waves into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are then transmitted to the ossicles in the middle ear, which further amplify the sound before it reaches the inner ear.


What vibrates in response to sound waves?

The eardrum, or tympanic membrane, vibrates in response to sound waves. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.


What part of the ear vibrates when sound waves strike it?

The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)


Which part of the ear vibrates at the frequency of sound waves?

The eardrum


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.


Does anything that vibrates make a sound?

No, not necessarily. In order for something that vibrates to make a sound, the vibrations need to create pressure waves in a medium, such as air, that can be detected by our ears. If the vibrations do not create these pressure waves, then no sound will be produced.


What is produced when an object vibrates the air around it?

When an object vibrates in the air, it creates sound waves. These sound waves travel through the air and reach our ears, allowing us to hear the sound produced by the vibrating object.
