Question

Answer this question: 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.

Answer 1

Yes, because sound is not the act of a human or animal hearing something but the act of an object moving in some way that creates a sound. You could place a recorder in the forest and let the tree fall, the recorder would pick up the sound even though their is not a human or animal there.

Answer 2

It still makes a noise regardless of a recepter,

Answer 3
