When the ball strikes the bell, this is converted into kinetic energyin the back and forth movement of the bell. The kinetic energy is transterred to the air molecules, which move back and forth as the sound wave travels through them. When the sound wave arrives at your ear, kinetic energy transters to your eardrum, making it vibrate. Inside the ear, sensitive cells pick up the movement of the eardrum and produce electrical signa ...
