I'm assuming by "waves" you mean "electromagnetic waves," since there are ocean waves and a few other waves that we can see too. We can also perceive sound waves, but cannot see them. The electromagnetic waves that we can see are called the "visibile lights." Their wavelength range from about 760 nm( 760*10^-9 m), bright red, to about 390 nm, bright violet. Their frequency range from about 4*10^14 Hz to 7.9*10^14 Hz, respectively. Infrared and Ultraviolet are NOT a part of visible light. No he means waves in the sea
A light wave is the type of wave that can be seen by the human eye. The light wave is part of the electromagnetic radiation.
The eye detects visual light, which is a quite narrow spectrum of electromagnetic wavelengths.

A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.
The way that sound waves are detected in your ear or in a microphone are fundamentally the same. Your ear and a microphone both have a lightweight membrane that is sensitive to sudden changes in pressure. In the ear this is called an Ear Drum. By sensitive, I mean that high pressure pushes it and low pressure pulls it. It physically moves like the skin of a drum. This movement can be detected, in a microphone it is detected by attaching a magnet to the vibrating membrane, and having a loop of wire near the magnet, but not attached to it. When the magnet moves relative to the wire a voltage is induced in the wire. This is called Faraday's Law. In your ear the process of measuring is more complicated but is essentially based on measuring the vibrations of the eardrum.
goes through your ear and out the other...
the sound wave will not make it to the ear drums. you wont hear the sound.
The ear drums are responsible from transferring sound waves from the outer ear to the middle ear. It vibrates in response to these waves.

sound waves, between about 20 Hz to 20000 Hz (for most people).
A tsunami wave can be detected by a wave gauge and pressure monitors.
The action is like a slinky spring, except its the air thats the medium transmitting a pressurised wave of air molocules, this pressure is detected by your ear.
The type of wave that cannot be detected on the other side of Earth is a secondary wave also known as a s wave
Stress waves
how is the pressure varition in a sound wave amplified in human ear
The ear hears sound waves.

P-waves.

The cochlea; sound wave are transferred through the ear canal and vibrated the ear drum which is connected to the cochlea and amplified the sound wave. When the sound wave reached the cochlea, sound wave is converted into nerve impulse and transferred through the nerve to the brain. Receptor is a converter of stimulus to electrical nerve impulse ; cochlea converted sound wave into nerve impulse and so cochlea is the sensory receptor of the ear.
