Question

What happens to sound waves after they are received by our ears?

A.
The longitudinal compression waves are transmitted directly to the brain.
B.
The vibrational energy of the sound waves is converted into a mix of electric and mechanical signals and sent to the brain through two separate pathways.
C.
The vibrational energy of the waves is converted into electrical signals and sent to the brain.
D.
The longitudinal compression waves are converted into electromagnetic waves and sent to the brain.

Answer 1

C.

The vibrational energy of the waves is converted into electrical signals and sent to the brain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound waves that travels to ear are send to the brain in order to hear it. The waves are in the form of vibration energy which is received by the ear. These signals are converted from the vibration into electrical signals.

These signals from the ear are sent to the brain in the form of electrical energy. These signals are processed there only and the feedback is reverted by the brain cells to the body.

Hence, the correct answer is option C
