    1. Eardrum
    2. Cochlea
    3. Ossicles
    4. Auditory nerve

Q2. Short questions (Attempt any 6 of 8 · 6 × 2 = 12)

  1. Which nerve carries electrical signals to the brain?
  2. Which animals use infrasound for communication?
  3. How does temperature affect refraction of sound waves?
  4. What is meant by the source of sound?
