The man down the street hears the jackhammer around the corner although he cannot see it what behavior of waves is responsible for this?

The behavior of waves responsible for the man hearing the jackhammer around the corner is diffraction. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles, allowing the sound waves from the jackhammer to bend around the corner and reach the man's ears.


Echoes demonstrate which behavior of sound waves?

Echoes demonstrate the reflection behavior of sound waves, where sound waves bounce off a surface and return back to the listener's ears.


Which structures within the ear transfer a sound wave during hearing?

The structures within the ear that transfer sound waves during hearing are the tympanic membrane (eardrum), ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes), and the oval window. The tympanic membrane vibrates when sound waves hit it, causing the ossicles to transmit these vibrations to the oval window, which then sends the vibrations to the inner ear.


What does it mean for waves to be absorbed by a material and how does this process affect the behavior of the waves?

When waves are absorbed by a material, it means that the energy of the waves is taken in by the material instead of being reflected or transmitted through it. This absorption process can cause the waves to lose intensity and change their behavior, such as reducing their amplitude or frequency. The absorbed energy is usually converted into heat within the material, which can affect the overall properties and behavior of the waves.

What attaches the stirrup to the cochlea?

The stirrup is attached to the cochlea via the oval window. When vibrations from sound waves reach the stirrup, they are transmitted through the oval window into the fluid-filled cochlea, stimulating the hair cells responsible for hearing.

What is the property of waves responsible for pitch?

I think it might be frequency... Not exactly sure. :)


What word describes the behavior of waves when they strike a surface?

The behavior of waves when they strike a surface is called reflection. This occurs when waves bounce off a surface at an angle equal to the angle at which they hit the surface.


What are the 4 sub-ypes of seismic?

The four sub-types of seismic waves are Primary waves (P-waves), Secondary waves (S-waves), Love waves, and Rayleigh waves. P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest through the Earth, while S-waves are shear waves that move slower and can only travel through solids. Love waves move horizontally and are responsible for much of the damage during an earthquake, and Rayleigh waves create an elliptical rolling motion, affecting both the surface and subsurface. Together, these waves provide critical information about the Earth's structure and behavior during seismic events.
