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 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.


Is sound produced when there are increases in pressure or oscillations in pressure?

Yes, sound is produced when there are changes in pressure that cause the particles in a medium to oscillate. The pressure variations create sound waves that travel through the medium, such as air or water, and are detected by our ears as sound.


What is the name of a pressure wave you hear with your ears?

Sound.


When do your ears pop in and out?

Ears "pop" when there is a change in pressure. It is the bodys way to prevent discomfort from pressure changes.


Sound is produced by objects that are?

Sound is produced by objects that vibrate, creating pressure waves in the air. These pressure waves are then detected by our ears as sound.


Why do you hear a sound when you clap?

When you clap, you create a sudden disturbance in the air, compressing and pushing the air molecules. This movement produces a pressure wave that travels through the air and reaches your ears, where they are detected as sound waves. The sound you hear is the result of this series of vibrations and pressure changes.


How loud is 10W?

The effect of the sound pressure on your ears depends on the distance to the sound source.


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.

What waves reach our ears?

Sound waves reach our ears, which are vibrations traveling through a medium (like air) that are detected by our ears and converted into electrical signals that our brain interprets as sound.


How does sound travel maraca?

Sound travels through the air as a series of pressure waves. When you shake a maraca, the vibrations of the seeds inside create pressure waves that travel through the air to our ears. Our ears detect these pressure waves and translate them into sound that we perceive.


What is the intensity of sound is measure in?

Your ears and the sound pressure level meter like more the sound pressure of a sound wave.Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -and the sound pressure is the effect.The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.


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.
