Does a tree falling over in a forest make a sound if there is no receptor (human or animal ear) to hear it? In your answer, describe why you think it does or does not. Describe how you would test your hypothesis. Use relevant terms.

Respuesta :

It does make sound, just because there are no receptors does not mean that an object does not make sound. For example, whales communicate ona frequency higher then our ears can hear, however, we know that they still make sound. Another example is thunder; If you were far away to see thunder but not hear it, does it make sound? It does. Objects make sound by vibrating, there is no connection to sound and the presence of a receptor.
