What is Sound?
OK, so I talk about music a lot, but what is sound in the first place? Sound is a type of vibration that travels through a medium, such as air or water. Like a stone tossed into a pond, waves are created as particles bump into eachother from the source. Our eardrums then pick up that sound, carefully sending them through our middle ear bones, or ossicles, into a the snail shaped inner ear. In the inner ear, sound is picked up by the cochlea. These are tiny hair cells that translate the vibrations into electrical signals for the brain. Interesting stuff!
This is an excellent interactive diagram if you're interested !
