A tough membrane about 0.1 mm thick that transfers sound from the outer ear to the middle ear.
What is the eardrum?
The change in wave frequency due to a wave source moving relative to the observer or vice-versa.
What is the doppler effect?
The perception of how high or low a sound seems to be due to frequency.
What is pitch?
The amount of energy that passes through a certain area in a specific amount of time.
What is intensity?
The portion of the ear inside of the eardrum were the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones are located.
What is the middle ear?
A device that measures the changing voltage of an electrical signal over time, and displays the signal as a waveform.
What is an oscilloscope?
A spiral-shaped structure that is filled with liquid and contains many tiny hair cells.
What is the cochlea?
A bundle of nerve fibers that carries hearing information between the cochlea and the brain.
What is the auditory nerve?
The human perception of sound volume that primarily depends on sound intensity.
What is loudness?
A measurement, abbreviated as dB, that is a unit of sound intensity. Every increase of 10 on this scale is equal to a 10-fold increase.
What is a decibel?
