Statement 1 is true and is not the correct explanation for statement 2

The outer part of the ear is like a funnel, sound enters and travels down a canal and then strikes a tightly stretched membrane known as ear drum. The ear drum sends the vibration received, to the inner ear, from there the signal goes to the brain and we hear the sound.
