How do noise cancelling headphones often utilize the wave behavior of interference to reduce unwanted sounds?
Noise cancelling headphones utilize the wave behavior of interference by producing sound waves that are the exact opposite of the unwanted noise. When these waves meet, they cancel each other out, reducing the overall sound.
What is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
The auditory receptors in the human ear are called hair cells, which are located in the cochlea. These hair cells convert sound waves into neural impulses that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
How does radiation therapy use energy waves or particles to treat cancer?
Radiation therapy uses high-energy waves or particles to target and destroy cancer cells. These waves or particles damage the DNA of the cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. Over time, the cancer cells die off, reducing the size of the tumor and potentially eliminating it altogether.
Where would you find cells that detect waves?
Cells that detect waves, specifically sound waves, are primarily found in the cochlea of the inner ear. These sensory cells, known as hair cells, convert mechanical vibrations from sound waves into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. Additionally, mechanoreceptors in the skin and other tissues can detect mechanical waves, such as pressure or touch.

What effects the speed of a sound?
Sound waves basically affected by Depending upon Medium Depending upon medium density Obstacle on the path of wave Interference of unwanted waves Distance between target and source
Which term best describes cells that are stimulated when sound waves vibrate hair cells in the ………..?
Inner ear
What is the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
The auditory receptors in the human ear are called hair cells, which are located in the cochlea. These hair cells convert sound waves into neural impulses that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.
Explain how sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing?
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.
How does the cochlea detect sound signals?
the cells of the hairs don't detect the sound waves at all. The full hair is vibrated by the sound waves and this vibration is picked up by nerves and the info is sent to the brain.
The mechanical vibrations triggered by sound waves are transformed into neural impulses by what?
hair cells
Which term best describes cells that are stimulated when sound waves vibrate hair cells in the inner ear?
Mechanoreceptors
What do you think is the adequate stimulus for sensory receptors in the ear?
The adequate stimulus for sensory receptors in the ear, specifically hair cells in the cochlea, is sound waves. These sound waves cause vibrations in the fluid-filled chambers of the inner ear, which displace the hair cells and generate electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain, allowing us to perceive sound. Different frequencies and amplitudes of sound waves stimulate different hair cells, enabling a wide range of auditory experiences.
Is hearing mechanoreceptors?
Yes, hearing involves mechanoreceptors known as hair cells, located in the cochlea of the inner ear. These cells detect mechanical vibrations caused by sound waves, converting them into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. When sound waves enter the ear, they cause the fluid in the cochlea to move, bending the hair cells and triggering this sensory response.
What kind of wave's wavelength compare to a cell?
a sound waves wavelength compares to a cell by comparing the waves one by the other. cells compared to wavelength are electromagnetic waves lol:)
