What does the outer ear do to sound waves?
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
What is that sound in a seashell?
The sound you hear when you hold a seashell to your ear is actually the ambient noise around you resonating within the shell's hollow structure. It's not the sound of the ocean itself.
Do sound waves get bigger when they enter the ear?
Sound waves do not physically get bigger when they enter the ear. The ear converts the varying pressure of sound waves into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. The perception of loudness can change based on how many sound waves reach the ear and how sensitive the ear is to them.
Where do sound waves enter through?
Sound waves enter through the ear canal, where they travel to the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in response to the sound waves, transmitting the vibrations to the inner ear where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
How does sound pass through the ears?
Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel down the ear canal to the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates in response to the sound waves, which then pass through the middle ear bones (ossicles) and into the inner ear. In the inner ear, the sound waves are converted to electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
What property of waves is the worker taking advantages of by wearing ear protectors?
Sound waves
How do ear protectors help protect against hearing damage?
They absorb some of the sound energy and reduce it to safe and acceptable levels.
What is the relationship with vibration with sound?
Sound, actually, is the vibration of air. The vibrations hit your ear drum in your ear.
Is it true that the funnel for sound waves in the ear is the outer ear?
No, the funnel for sound waves in the ear is actually the outer ear. The outer ear acts like a funnel, directing sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves.
What do rock stars wear on there ears to protect them?
ear protectors
Do ear and teach have a short e sound?
No. The EA in teach has a long E sound, and the EA in "ear" is similar, although actually an R-shaped sound called a caret I.
Do ear teach and seat have a short e sound?
No, none of them do. The EA pairs all have a form of long E sound, although in "ear" it is actually an R-shaped sound called a caret I.
How does sound travel to your ear?
Sound travels to your ear as air particles vibrate when sound waves are created. These vibrations enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
What is The external part of the ear that helps catch sound is the?
No part of the ear actually amplifies sound, but the middle ear changes the nature of the waves from high amplitude to low amplitude but stronger waves to make the transition from air to liquid.
How does you ear hear sound?
Sound is a mechanism that is carried out by a median which the air particles that carries the sound waves to our ear that we actually hear. There are different sizes of sound waves released by different frequencies and then carried at different speed by the air particles to our ear. Without a median, it is impossible to hear anything around you, like if we take "OUTER SPACE OR VACUUM" into consideration, there is existence of median or no movement of air particles that could carry the sound waves. So as a result what actually our ear detect is the sound waves brought to your ears by a median.

What part of the ear is sound produced by?
The ear does not produce (make) sound.
