The ear as a wave detection system

Cross-section of the human ear with outer, middle, and inner ear structures labelled and arrows showing the path of sound

The ear has three main regions: outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Each region solves a different physics problem: collecting sound, transferring it efficiently, and detecting its frequency.
