Outer Ear Middle Ear
691 wordsThe Ear is one of the five sense organs. It allows us to hear. Hearing is one of our most important senses. Speech development depends on hearing. Without hearing, our speech would not sound right. Children learn to talk by copying what other people say. Hearing is not a simple process. Movement causes sounds, so there are lots of things to hear. Sounds travel in waves. The waves enter the ear, and the brain interprets the sound signals as sounds. Surprisingly, the ear also helps us balance. The...

Cycles Per Second Sound Waves
739 wordsResonance and Sound Physics and Music Since sound is the medium of music, most of the physics of music is the physics of sound. It's important to remember that sound waves are compression waves. You can imitate a compression wave by stretching out a slinky (you do have a slinky, don't you? ) and flicking your finger against a coil at the end. Sound waves are not like the waves on the ocean or the waves you get by waving a stretched-out rope. Take a tuning fork (you do have a tuning fork, don't y...

Sound Waves Exhaust System
1,504 wordsThe science of the sound wave is important in everyday life, from its use in car mufflers to the high tech office. In this paper Im going to talk about the sound wave and describe its characteristics, show how this science was applied to muffler design, and computer design. Sound is a pressure wave that consists of tiny fluctuations in the air pressure. The amplitude in general, is the maximum change in value of a parameter during the oscillation of a wave. In amplitude, that parameter will usua...

Hearing Loss Paying Attention
1,121 wordsThe ear is the organ of hearing and balance in vertebrates. The ear converts sound waves in the air, to nerve impulses which are sent to the brain, where the brain interprets them as sounds instead of vibrations. The innermost part of the ear maintains equilibrium or balance. The vestibular apparatus contains semicircular canals which in turn balance you. Any movement by the head, and this apparatus sends a signal to the brain so that your reflex action is to move your foot to balance you. The e...

Mid June Day Telling Your Brain Body
1,335 wordsHow does a human hear? When an object makes a noise, it sends vibrations (better known as sound waves) speeding through the air. These vibrations are then funneled into your ear canal by your outer ear. As the vibrations move into your middle ear, they hit your eardrum and cause it to vibrate as well. This sets off a chain reaction of vibrations. Your eardrum, which is smaller and thinner than the nail on your pinky finger, vibrates the three smallest bones in your body: first, the hammer, then ...

Nerve Endings Sound Waves
402 wordsWaves Sound Waves Sound Waves Waves are disturbances that travel through a space while changing its matter. A sound wave is what allows us to hear sounds. It is created by vibrations, which are made by the movement of matter. Sound waves must travel through a solid, a liquid, or a gas. The more tight the particles, the faster the wave will travel. This would mean that a sound wave travels fastest through solids and slowest through gases. The speed that it travels through a liquid would come some...
