Question
When the air pressure near the ear drum decreases, it ____.
- Gets pulled outward
- Does not move at all
- Gets pushed inward
- None of the above
Hint:
Gets pulled outward.
The correct answer is: Gets pulled outward
- Low pressure or rarefactions pull the eardrum outwards.
- So, the correct option is a.
- Compressions/high pressure pushes the eardrum inwards.
