C Correct answer
Explanation

The tympanum of the ear receive the sound in the form of compressions and rarefaction. These compressions and rarefaction strike the ear drum, the ear from begins to vibrate.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Never insert any pointed object into the ear. It can damage the eardrum and make a person deaf. Ears are very fragile and delicate organs.

The compressions and rarefactions are transmitted across the middle ear through__________.

  1. auditory tube

  2. ear ossicles

  3. cochlea

  4. all
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The compressions and rarefactions are transmitted across the middle ear through the three ear ossicles. The vibrations produced in the ear drum are amplified.

Multiple choice how humans hear sound human ear study of sound sound physics

What stimulates the auditory nerve?

  1. the movement of the three ear ossicles

  2. the movement of stirrup

  3. the movement of fluid in the cochlea

  4. all

C Correct answer
Explanation

Cochlea is a coiled and fluid filled tube having sense of hearing. The movement of the fluid in the cochlea due to the vibrations stimulates the auditory nerve .

Multiple choice how humans hear sound human ear study of sound sound physics

Which of the following order is correct?

  1. Sound $\rightarrow$ ear $\rightarrow$ inner ear $\rightarrow$ vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ brain $\rightarrow$ hearing
  2. Ear $\rightarrow$ Vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ Inner ear $\rightarrow$ hearing $\rightarrow$ brain $\rightarrow$ vibration
  3. Sound $\rightarrow$ ear $\rightarrow$ inner ear $\rightarrow$ vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ hearing $\rightarrow$ brain
  4. Sound $\rightarrow$ ear $\rightarrow$ vibration of eardrum $\rightarrow$ inner ear $\rightarrow$ brain $\rightarrow$ hearing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

When sound strikes the ear drum, it vibrates and this vibration is carried to the inner ear from where it is carried to the brain in the form of impulse. The brain then gives the signal and we hear the sound.
