Question

State three conditions necessary for hearing sound.

Answer 1

Necessary conditions for hearing a sound:

1. There must be a vibrating body, capable of transferring its energy to its surroundings.
2. These must be a material medium to pick the energy and then propagate it in a forward direction.
3. There must be a receiver, so as to receive the sound vibrations and then transmit them to the brain for final interpretation, such as the human ear.
