Question

The eardrum vibrates when sound hits it.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Sound waves travel through the ear canal to reach the eardrum. The eardrum is a thin flap of skin that is stretched tight like a drum and vibrates when sound hits it. These vibrations move the tiny bones of the middle ear, which send vibrations to the inner ear. From the inner ear, the message is sent to the brain.
