What is the tight layer of skin that vibrates when sound waves hit?
the tympanic membrane or ear drum
Sound waves entering the external auditory canal hit the eardrum also known as?
Tympanic Membrane
What do sound waves vibrate?
They vibrate the molecules in the substance they propagate in.A thin membrane will vibrate when hit by sound waves. This can be a ribbon element in a microphone or the tympanic membrane (eardrum) in an ear. This can also cause destruction of a structure. Certain bridges may be susceptible to sympathetic vibrations. The sound waves can cause the structure to start vibrating. These vibrations can increase in amplitude until the structure fails. The Tacoma narrows bridge (Galloping Gertie) failed from something similar, called aeroelastic flutter, which was caused by wind.
What is the name of the device which converts electrical energy into sound energy?
Speaker (!?) Plus, I would use the phrase sound waves instead of sound energy.
How does sound travel electronically?
An electronic device converts the sound waves into a digital signal/code that is then transported by microwaves or radiowaves, until it reaches another device that converts that code back into a soundwave.
Sound waves are converted into mechanical movements by?
That would be the tympanic membrane!!
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum vibrates when sound waves reach it.
What a thin membrane that transmits sound waves into the middle ear?
tympanic membrane
How does sound travels to the tympanic membrane?
Pressure waves (fluctuations) in air.
How does Sound travels to the tympanic membrane by?
Pressure waves (fluctuations) in air.
Sound waves travel from the air to the tympanic membrane by way of the?
external auditory meatus
What is the tight layer of skin that vibrates when sound waves hit?
the tympanic membrane or ear drum
What part of the ear receives sound waves first?
The auricle or pinna of the outer ear acts like a horn to capture the sound waves which are then tunneled into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
Sound waves entering the external auditory canal hit the eardrum also known as?
Tympanic Membrane
What is the typtanic membrane in the ear?
The tympanic membrane is more commonly referred to as the ear drum. It is what vibrates from sound waves, allowing us to hear.
Function of frogs tympanic membrane?
Not only the tympanic membrane receives wavesounds, it also equalizes the pressure within.
What structure is the first to be set in motion by sound waves as they arrive through the outer ear?
the ear drum
