Changing electrical vibrations into sound vibrations?
the cochlea convents vibrations into electrical sound
The tympanic membrane converts sound waves into?
vibrations
Is a microphone a converter of sound energy to electrical energy and why?
Yes the microphone converts sound waves/vibrations into electrical energy/signals. This is done so that the sound can be recorded for storage and playback or transmitted to some distant location (the the sound could not reach).
What converts sound energy into eletrical energy?
Microphone converts sound energy to electrical energy.
What part of a telephone detects sound waves?
The tranducer/microphone converts the vibrations of the waves into electrical audio signals, the vibrations cause a diaphragm inside the transducer to vibrate which in turns create pulses of current that can be interpreted later as the recorded audio.
What does a microphone and speaker have in common?
They both convert between electrical impulses and sound waves. The microphone converts sound waves into electrical impulses and the loudspeaker converts electrical impulses into sound waves.
What converts sound to electrical impulses in the nervous system?
cochlea
How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.

What is the use of the speaker?
A speaker converts the energy of discrete electrical impulses to the energy of sound waves in the air.

How does the message from sound waves get to your brain?
Sound waves enter the ear, go through the ear canal to the ear drum, through the middle ear to the inner ear where the sound wave (vibrations) reach a mechanism called a cochlea which converts the vibrations to electrical impulses. The electrical information is guided via nerve cells to the brain which interprets the electrical information as sounds.
What contains receptors that convert sound vibrations to impulses that are sent to the brain?
The cocheal contains receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into impulses that are sent to the brain.
What vibrates as sound waves hit it?
Your eardrums vibrate when sound waves hit them. The sound wave travels through the auditory canal which funnels the sound to the ear drum causing it to vibrate. The ear drum then amplifies the sound by vibration of bones. It is in the middle ear where sound energy is converted into mechanical energy. The cochlea in the inner ear converts the vibrations into electrical impulses before sending signals to the brain. The brain then interprets the impulses as sound.
Trace the path of sound waves as they enter the ear Start with the outer ear?
Sound waves first enter the outer ear, which consists of the pinna (visible portion) and the ear canal. The pinna helps collect sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. The sound waves then travel through the ear canal and reach the eardrum (tympanic membrane) at the end of the canal.
In the cochlea?
Sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses :)
