Question

When the air pressure near the ear drum decreases, it ____.

  1. Gets pulled outward
  2. Does not move at all
  3. Gets pushed inward
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Gets pulled outward.

The correct answer is: Gets pulled outward


    • Low pressure or rarefactions pull the eardrum outwards.
    • So, the correct option is a.

    • Compressions/high pressure pushes the eardrum inwards.
