Identify the order in which sound travels through the ear

• cochlea, ear drum, ossicles, ear canal

• ear canal, ossicles, ear drum, cochlea

• ear canal, ear drum, ossicles, cochlea

• ear drum, ear canal, ossicles, cochlea

Auditory relates to

• the eyes

• the ears

• the nose

• the hands

How does increasing the amplitude of a sound wave affect the sound?

• it makes the sound louder
• it makes the sound travel faster
• it increases the wavelength of the sound
• it increases the frequency of the sound
