The correct Answer is:

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes the perception of ringing sounds in the ears when there is no actual external sound present. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Vertigo - B) Tinnitus - C) Otalgia - D) Otitis 3. **Defining Each Term**: - **Vertigo**: This refers to a sensation of spinning or dizziness, not specifically related to sound. - **Tinnitus**: This is the perception of sound (often described as ringing) in the ears without any external sound source. It can also manifest as clicking, buzzing, hissing, or roaring. - **Otalgia**: This term means ear pain, which does not relate to sound perception. - **Otitis**: This refers to an infection in the ear (outer, middle, or inner), which is unrelated to the perception of sound. 4. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the definitions, the correct answer is **Tinnitus** (Option B), as it directly describes the condition of hearing sounds that are not present externally. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the perception of ringing sounds in the ears when there is no real sound is termed **Tinnitus**. ---

The part of the ear where sound is transduced is

Which part of the ear determines the pitch of a sound ?

The maximum variation in pressure P that the ear can tolerate in Ioud sound is about 28N//m^2 . What is the corresponding maximum displacement for a sound of frequency 500Hz imart? Density of air is 1.22 kg//m^3 and velocity of sound =330m/s.

The velocity of sound in air at 20^(@)C is 340ms^(-1) . Keeping the temperature constant, what will be the velocity of sound in air when the pressure of the gas is doubled?

the maximum pressure variation that the human ear can tolerate in loud sound is about 30 N //m^(2) . The corresponding maximum displacement for a sound wave ina air having a frequency of 10^(3) Hz is take velocity of sound in air as 300 m/s and density of air 1.5 kg // m ^(3)

When a sound wave enters the ear, it sets the eardrum into oscillation, which in turn causes oscillation of 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called ossicles. This oscillation is finally transmitted to the fluid filled in inner portion of the ear termed as inner ear, the motion of the fluid disturbs hair cells within the inner ear which transmit nerve impulses to the brain with the information that a sound is present. The theree bones present in the middle ear are named as hammer, anvil and stirrup. Out of these the stirrup is the smallest one and this only connects the middle ear to inner ear as shown in the figure below. The area of stirrup and its extent of connection with the inner ear limits the sensitivity of the human ear consider a person's ear whose moving part of the eardrum has an area of about 50mm^2 and the area of stirrup is about 5mm^2 . The mass of ossicles is negligible. As a result, force exerted by sound wave in air on eardum and ossicles is same as the force exerted by ossicles on the inner ear. Consider a sound wave having maximum pressure fluctuation of 4xx10^-2Pa from its normal equilibrium pressure value which is equal to 10^5Pa . Frequency of sound wave in air is 332(m)/(s) . Velocity of sound wave in fluid (present in inner ear) is 1500(m)/(s) . Bulk modulus of air is 1.42xx10^5Pa . Bulk modulus of fluid is 2.18xx10^9Pa . Q. If the person is using an hearing aid, which increase the sound intensity level by 30 dB, then by what factor the intensity of given sound wave change as perceived by inner ear?

An observer A fires a gun and another observer B at a distance 1650 m away from A hears its sound. If the speed of sound is 330 m/s, Find the time when B will hear the sound after firing by A.
