A sound wave causes the eardrum to vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude as the wave itself.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. The eardrum acts as a membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves, transmitting the vibrations through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into nerve impulses and sent to the brain for processing. The frequency and amplitude of the sound wave determine the pitch and volume of the sound heard.
