Question

When an ear drum encounters a sound it ____.

  1. Does not move
  2. Moves up and down
  3. Vibrates inward and outward
  4. Rotates 

hintHint:

Vibrates inward and outward

The correct answer is: Vibrates inward and outward


    • When an ear drum encounters a sound it vibrates inward and outward.
    • So, the correct option is c.

    • Compression or high pressure pushes the eardrum inwards.
    • Rarefaction or low pressure pulls the eardrum outwards.
