Down
- 1. Nerve The electrical impulses, generated by the nerve cells, are then passed to the brain.
- 2. vibrates as soon as it receives sound waves, and transforms the sound energy into mechanical energy.
- 3. given the credit of inventing telephone.
- 4. sound waves may be reflected from walls, mountains, ground and other object.
- 7. occurs when waves of different frequencies from 2 sources are produced at the same time.
- 8. the outer ear and the inner ear, perceives sound waves from the outer ear in the form of pressure waves.
