The ear drum receives the sound in the form of ____.

The sounds with frequencies smaller than 20 Hz are called _____.

• Sounds with frequencies 20Hz to 20kHz are called audible frequencies.

Cochlea is a part of which of these?

The shape of the atomic structure can be found by ______.

Decreasing amplitude decreases _______.

• The amplitude of a vibrating body continuously decreases during damped vibrations.
• Because the frictional (resistive) force due to the surrounding medium causes the energy loss.
