when an object vibrates, it makes pressure changes around it, because when it moves in on direction, it creates a vacuum where it came from. The pressure changes then create low frequency energy waves. when the human ear detects these energy waves, it converts it into electrical pulses and sends them to the brain.

Which type of energy is transmitted by vibrations of air?

Sound waves are transmitted in this manner.


How is sound transmitted to water?

Sound is transmitted through water the same way it's transmitted through air -- by vibrations. Whatever is making the noise makes vibrations in the water, which then strike against your eardrum and vibrate it, and then the vibrations travel through some bones in your head to a bundle of nerves, which transmit the signal to your brain, which produces the sensation we call sound.


How does sound is transmitted to the brain?

Sound waves enter the ear and travel through the ear canal to the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear. Sensory hair cells in the cochlea convert these vibrations into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve.


What is description of sound?

Sound is a form of energy that travels in waves through a medium such as air, water, or solids. It is produced by vibrations that create changes in pressure, which our ears detect and perceive as sound. Different frequencies and amplitudes of sound waves create various pitches and volumes that we interpret as different sounds.


When is sound transmitted through the air?

Sound is transmitted through the air when there is a disturbance that causes particles in the air to vibrate, creating a pressure wave. These vibrations travel through the air in all directions, eventually reaching our ears and allowing us to hear the sound.

How do you generate power through sound?

Sound is caused by vibrations, and (at least experimentally) energy could be derived from the variance in transmitted vibrations.

How are sound vibrations transmitted through the middle ear?

Sound vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear by passing from the eardrum to the three small bones called ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes). These bones amplify the vibrations and transmit them to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.


What are the vibrations transmitted through a solid liquid or gas?

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.

Sound does not travel through a vacuum?

No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.No. Sound is transmitted as vibrations, that pass from one group of atoms to the next, thus, it requires the presence of atoms that transport the sound wave.
