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.
What is the order in which sound travels through the ear?
Sound travels through the ear in the following order: outer ear, ear canal, eardrum, middle ear bones (ossicles), cochlea in the inner ear.
