The eardrums are like an omnidirectional microphone. The sound pressure vibrates the membrane (diaphragm) of the eardrum and the microphone only from one side.

What waves reach our ears?
Sound (pressure) waves.
Area in which sound waves are pushed together?
This question is misguided. It is not the sound waves which are apart, but the particles of the medium. A place where the particles are further apart is called a rarefaction. Where they are crowded together is called a compression.
When a student plays a guitar how does a sound travel to reach your brain?
sound waves from an instrument or a sound system reach the outer ear.
How does sound travel through the air to someone?
the sound waves reach the ear.
What does sound travel through to reach your ears?
sound is actually vibrations. your eardrum is designed to pick up these vibrations that we call sound. kind of like when you have a glass of water on the table, and then drop something on the table, the glass of water picks up these vibrations and creates ripples.
What is the vibration of sound waves on eardrums?
The vibrations caused by sound waves onto your eardrums are pressure compressions and rarefactions.
What is receiving soundwaves?
Receiving sound waves is the process by which sound travels in form of waves and is received by our eardrums to be heard.
What is the use of ears?
To collect sound waves en direct them to our internal eardrums
How does your ear work?
The sound waves (which have to travel through some kind of matter to exist) travel in your ear, then hit your eardrums, making them vibrate. These vibrations of your eardrums send a signal to your brain, telling it what sound has been made.
What is the thin membrane that vibrates when sound waves reach it?
The eardrum vibrates when sound waves reach it.
What is the function of the eardrums?
To vibrate air into the inner ear so that the sound waves can eventually be interpruted (lots to it) by your brain
What waves reach our ears?
Sound (pressure) waves.
What waves reach our ears on playing guitar?
Sound waves (which are pressure waves).
What kind of instruments need air forced through them to produce musical sound?
It is produced by vibrations of sound waves that connects to your eardrums! This is by: 12 year old Danielle

How long would it take sound waves to reach Pluto?
Sound waves can't travel through space.
