Basically the ear drum vibrates and causes the three small bones in your ear to vibrate. The vibration of the last bone causes vibration on the oval window of the Cholea, the oval window vibrations cause the fluid within the semi circular canal to travel back and forwards over the basilar membrane. This is linked to neurones which take the information of which frequency you are hearing to the brain.

So the vibration frequency of the ear drum depends on what pitch of sound you hear so the best thing to say would be. The frequency of vibrations increases with high pitched sounds and decreased with low pitched sounds.

What happens to the sound as the amplitude of the sound wave increases?

Amplitude = "Loudness" In that a direct increase in amplitude will cause the sound to be "louder".


Which two properties of a sound gets louder?

The two properties of a sound that get louder are its amplitude, which determines the volume or intensity of the sound, and its energy level, which increases as the sound becomes louder.


What happens to the sound when amplitude is increased?

When amplitude is increased, the sound becomes louder. This means that the peaks and troughs of the sound wave become higher and lower, resulting in a more forceful sound.


What happens to the eardrum when sound goes in the ear?

It vibrates.


How does an echo form?

by traveling into your ear or eardrum and it becomes a sound which you can hear


What happens when sound gets louder?

It means that the amplitude of the soundwaves is increased, or is increasing if the sound continues to get louder.

What happens when a tuning fork that is still vibrating touches a wooden desk?

the vibrations made by the tuning fork cause the paper to preduce a humming sound.


What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?

The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.


How loudness is produced?

Loudness is produced by the amplitude of sound waves, which corresponds to the amount of energy they carry. When sound waves with higher amplitudes enter our ears, they cause a stronger vibration of the eardrum, which our brain interprets as a louder sound. The louder the sound, the more intense the vibrations and the greater the perception of loudness.
