When one vibrating object causes similar vibrations in another object that is nearby is called a?

resonance. Resonance occurs when two objects have similar natural frequencies, causing one object to vibrate in response to the vibrations of the other. This phenomenon is commonly observed in musical instruments and can lead to amplification of sound.


How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea?

Sound waves cause the thin skin of the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration, in turn, vibrates a chain of three tiny bones which are attached, at one end of the chain, to the eardrum, and at the other end of the chain, to a thin drumlike structure on on the opening to the cochlea. The vibration of this "round window" as it is called, causes the fluid inside the cochlea to flow, which in turn causes tiny hairs inside the cochlea to move. These hairs, when moved, send signals to the brain which are interpreted as sound.


What is sound produced by?

Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas; particularly, sound means those vibrations composed of frequencies capable of being detected by ears. Sound is produced when the air is disturbed in some way, for example by a vibrating object. A speaker cone can serve as a good illustration. It may be possible to see the movement of a bass speaker cone, providing it is producing very low frequency sound. As the cone moves forward the air immediately in front is compressed causing a slight increase in air pressure, it then moves back past its rest position and causes a reduction in the air pressure (rarefaction).


When you blow at an angle into an empty bottle how does it make sound?

Blowing at an angle causes air to vibrate against the bottle's edge, creating sound waves inside the bottle. The bottle acts as a resonator, amplifying the sound waves produced by the vibrating air. This results in the audible sound that you hear.


How does sound travel through matter?

Yes sound can travel through matter. Sound is just a cyclic change in pressure. You can prove this to yourself by placing your ear on a wall and knocking on the wall. You will notice that the sound is much louder with you ear pressed against the wall as opposed to not pressed against the wall. This pressure wave in matter causes the motion of particles within the matter causing compressions and expansions. This occurs regardless of the phase of matter, be it liquid, gas, or solid. Hope that helps

What happens when a vibrating object causes a second object to vibrate also?

When a vibrating object causes a second object to vibrate, it transfers its energy to the second object. This energy causes the particles in the second object to move, leading to vibrations and the creation of sound waves. The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations depend on the characteristics of the vibrating objects.

The vibrations are called sympathetic vibrations or sympathetic resonance.

Why A vibrating body produces sound but we cannot hear the sound of vibrating pendulum?

Human ears can only hear (i.e., detect vibrations) in a range of about 20-20,000 vibrations per second. A pendulum will usually vibrate at much less than 20 vibrations per second. But please note that a vibrating object (such as a plucked string) may also produce secondary vibrations, other than the main frequency.On the other hand, a vibration must also be strong enough, in order to be heard.
